It wasn’t scope creep it was a scam. Shady contractors in every industry pull stuff like this.

They didn’t deliver what you actually contracted for until you put your foot down because that was the hook — they couldn’t keep taking your money if they gave you what you wanted.

For anyone else reading this the best move would be to shut it down as soon as a single minute has been billed for out of contract work: “Hey this is not what I contracted & I won't be paying for any out of scope work.”

Absolutely this and you can take them to small claims court for breach of contract.
