Our company is working with YouTube. You can make money just by liking videos on YouTube. We will pay you $50-$500 a day. You only need YouTube and a mobile phone to start making money.

I stated I have never used Telegram. She responded "You can open your app store and download the Telegram app. This app is very convenient. I downloaded it. She texted me her Telegram https://t.me/Sarah_Davis160.. She said she would send me more tasks via Telegram. And this is where the problems started. I completed daily tasks in Telegram (20 per day). After completing the first day of tasks she stated "Now is the internet age, many people can improve their lives through the internet.

She said she would assign me to a working group and all work will be completed through that group tomorrow. She signed off "Good night honey, hope you have a nice night and sweet dream". Next day: "Dear as your business manager, I need to tell you that there are 2 types of tasks in our work. 1. Normal likes task. Tomorrow is your second day at work. The commission for liking videos tomorrow is $1.50. After you sign in for 4 consecutive days, you will become a formal employee. The commission for liking each video will increase to 410.

If you skip a task without authorization, you will not be able to continue to perform other tasks; multiple violations may result in loss of job qualifications. Please strictly abide by the task rules to ensure smooth work. I responded: I have a question re: lucky tasks. when I did something similar with another company, when those random tasks appeared, I had to add my own money because there wasn't enough in my account to cover the goods, so I stopped working for them. She responded: "our work is simple. I will also invite you to join our working group. You can work with everyone which is very convenient. The next day is where to problem started. On task 12 I got a lucky task with options: A. Pay $36, commission 30%, Earn $10.8, Get $46.8 (1-3 orders) B. Pay $56, Commission 30%, Earn $16.8, Get $72.8 (1-3 orders) C. Pay $86, Commission 30%, Earn $25.8, Get $111.8 (1-3 orders). The Lucky Mall task which requires you to advance funds. There are professional teachers to accompany and guide you to complete the work. It only takes 10 minutes to complete and get corresponding rewards. It is safe and reliable if you have any loss of funds during the task our company will compensate you in full. Thank you for your trust and thank you for your company every day. Note: Lucky Mall task has been released. The number of options B and C is limited. Please choose and complete the task as soon as possible to receive your reward. For more details contact your business manager. I chose Option B. "This is a prepaid task. The prepayment is $56. After the task is completed your funds and profits will be returned to you, as total of $56+16.8+6+78.8. How do you plan to pay this?" I chose paypal and was given [email protected] as the paypal recipient. "This is the PayPal account of the company's financial department. Please send me a screenshot after the payment is completed. Thank you. Please note: PayPal payments should be sent as friends or family, not as business, to avoid risk control of your payment method and affect your work and income today." Sent screen shot, was told funds received by finance department and directed to my working account: https://nceccvod.com/h5/#/pages/login/login to login to my working account. and it goes on and on from there. I kept getting random Lucky Mall tasks and each investment was higher, then there was an error in my work order and had to deposit more money to correct it. In total I have put in about $3400 of my own money and only was able to withdraw $86.00. Now they want $5600 to correct another work order, but I refuse to have them any more money. FYI, when PayPal was rejecting my payments, they gave me another email for finance dept, then they had me buy cryptocurrency, which I know nothing about. I feel so stupid to have fallen for this. When you are in financial turmoil and are desperate, you fall for this stuff.
