Description

Was approached via Tik Tok for work for home job. They messaged and had me create Whatsapp. They proceeded to message me there telling me about this opportunity to do promo reviews for Best Buy. Said his name was David and would teach me. First day was ok except he got angry and said OMG when I was frustrated I did not get my money back put in 110 that day. Gave these instructions: Order description 1.Each account can match 38 orders per day 2.The commission for placing an order is uniform and equals to 1.00% of the total order amount 3.The system is based on LBS technology and automatically matches goods through cloud computing 4.In order to prevent platform supervision, if the order is not confirmed and submitted within 30 minutes, the system will freeze the order amount 5.You cannot cancel the task. You must first complete any existing unfinished tasks before you can receive new ones. Notice When the platform matches orders for users, it will submit the order information to the merchant background. If the user does not submit the order within 30 minutes, the order amount will be frozen by the system. In order to avoid regulatory systems, user accounts will be evaluated, which will directly affect the user's next matching time and reputation! Please click stop placing order in time to avoid timeout freeze. You get large pavkages which will earn more commission but you have to put in money, which lead to 215 the first time and would get through some more tasks before being hit with a large one of over 1000 that you need to pay remaining amount to collect commission. So in addition to the 215 they wanted another 574. Which i didn't have and so he said he would help so i could earn commission but then his card magically froze. Leaving you without being able to withdraw the money you put in. Kept saying You can rest assured that Best Buy was founded in 1966 and currently has more than 90,000 online employees. We are a formal and legal company that will protect the interests of every employee. All decisions require approval from leadership and government departments.
