Description

I received a text message from a Alexa at Linkedin US regarding a job opportunity with there company. There was a three day trial where I would be evaluated to see if I am a good fit . I was told i would be provided one-on-one free training and flexible working hours. The daily salary for the 3-day paid trial would range from $50 -$500. I was then told that after the trial period i could sign a contract with a base salary of $700 every 3 days up to $6000 per month plus bonuses of anywhere from $1000-$5000. Benefits would also be included. I was given a phone number of 17134808521 to text if I was over 20 years old and interested in the position. i sent a text to the number and then i started texting someone sayingn their name is Isabella. She told me she is part of a task team under eToro Group Ltd. She said the company collaborates with YouTube influencers, trading platforms, and charity partners. At first it just consisted of me liking videos on YouTube to boost ratings and content. I would get paid after completing every two tasks. The pay ranged from $3 to $12 for each video that we liked and submitted back to the business manager. Then after getting paid a few times I was told that i was the lucky recepient of a lucky order where I was given three options where i would pay a certain amount and then get a 30% commision. On my first lucky order I paid $86 through CashApp and when completed I was allowed to withdraw a total 0f $117.80. This was all done through a specific sety of commands to follow totalling of about 10 minutes. This is all a method of stabilizing the price of Bitcoin by assisting the merchant in generating real data. The merchant then pays a 30% commison for the help. Everything seemed tp be running smooth until I was told that I made a malicious mistake on the last group task which just happened to be a lucky order. I was then advised that the only way to make a withdrawal of my $2176 plus commison and normal pay per like would be if i fixed this issue myself by buying more Bitcoin through CashApp. i did this until I had absolutely no money left because I simply just wanted to get the money back that i was manipulated into giving just so that I could get my money back or my salary as stated by Katie. In total I seem to have lost $2,676 because I have no more money to pay the $1,370 that is necessary to fullfill the repair of my mistake. I keep getting told that I cannot make a withdrawal until i fulfill the merchants wishes of completing the repair order. I am in desperate need of some help in getting nmym compensaton for working totalling over $5000.
