Description
Received a text for a remote job. I inquired. Then the person had me start training on her Mercari account. Once we finished we “withdrew” her money for the day. When I went through days of crypto conversion…. I was asked to convert more to bring the negative to positive in order to continue to get to the end in order to “withdraw” my funds which had rose by this time to $4800. Then company wanted more money from me to bring account up to positive so I could withdraw funds - at that point I said no more money from me. I have all communications with two different trainers if needed. I was already in so far by the time I realized they would not ever let me withdraw the funds I earned along with my money put in.
