Description

Your task is to follow and like bloggers via YouTube and $3 per completion. You can earn up to $50-300 per day, making it perfect for a part-time. All you need is a YouTube and a cell phone. Must be 23 or older. You get a task to "like" a video on YouTube and receive $3 to pass the job test. Next you are referred to the "receptionist and you get $10. They ask you to download Telegram app if you dont have it already https://telegram.org. they ask for you to take a screenshot as proof of completion. Jasmine gives you the address of the 'receptionist' https://t.me/keith9914. Then you contact the mission review and send this payment code: AD-2099 and the "receptionist will verify the code for and pay you $10. They did pay me for everything I did as they said they would. they sent it to my paypal account and I was able to withdrawl and deposit to my bank account. Then you get this "Lucky Mission" where they give you 3 choices to but BitCoin and receive upto 60% profit based on your choice of 1,2 or 3. I did this twice and received my money ($980) back and the 40% and in addition to being paid "liking" the YouTube videos. The $ amount for "likes" on YouTube increase by the day. On day three you get $6 per like. On day three the last day of my trail this "Lucky Mission" came up and I thought okay Ive done this already and it worked. Then I was told to download Crypto.com because I couldn't use PayPal because I couldn't go over $2k a week with Paypal. After downloading Crypto.com I added the money and was added to a group text with 3 other "employees" 2 of them where "full time remote employees" 1 has been with the company for over a year, 1 has been with the company for 8 months and then there was two of us that were on our final day before becoming "full time employees". At the end of the day waiting for the last 2 YouTube videos to be sent to us we got the "Lucky Mission" which we are told this is "rare" and everyone wants to get these because of the return rate. Again you have the 3 choices. However everyone in the "group" must agree on the same option. Me and the the other "newbie" choice the first option that is again the $980 with the 40% return. The 2 "full time employees" wanted us to pick option 3 that was $2400 with a return of 60% and us newbies told them we wanted to stick with the $980 and 40% return. They (2 FTEs) agreed and we moved forward. Once that transaction was done instead of being able to "cash out" we got another "Lucky Mission that we had to complete before we could "cash out". Same steps as before everyone in the group chat needs to pick the same option and again the FTEs wanted to go for the 60% and we (the newbies) pushed back and stuck for option 1. After the transaction goes through we are waiting for approval to send to the "cashier" so we can cash out. Then we are chosen to do a third purchases of BitCoins! this is VERY RARE and is a VERY high investment. Again the FTEs want to go for option 3 60% but the investment was $20K+ of course the newbies push back for option 1 $5800 and that in order to "cash out" we had to all do the final order or we would not get to cash out our money! I was told to download Uphold.com to complete the transaction The 1st option is $5800 with a 40% return which is a large amount of money especially for people who are unemployed and are looking for part time work to make some money. I did download the app and put the $5800 dollars into the account and then I was unable to make the transaction because Uphold can take up to 3 days to transfer the funds from your back. the "receptionist" kept pushing me to email Uphold and call my bank to get the money as fast as possible. I have not paid the $5800 it is with Uphold who has locked my account and it will take 30 days to get access to my money. The "receptionist" keeps send my text via telegraph with scripted email to send to Uphold to get the money. Stating that no one will get paid if i don't deposit my money into the Bitcoin. I've reached out to the others in the group and they have stop responded. I've asked to be paid out for what I've already done and they told me no. They told me I have to deposit the $5800. They said we had to complete the transaction in 10 minutes for it be to valid and its been 2 days. They. told me they are holding the transaction and long a possible and that its bad for me if i cant get the money to them. I was asked last night if i could find an additional $5800 to put into another account to process the transaction. That's not going to happen. I'm still get text from the receptionist asking if Uphold has released my money and sending me drafts of emails to send to uphold to answer their questions. She just sent me another text asking why I'm not responding to her text and that if i don't follow her instructions my money will be locked for 30 days. I'm also being told that I can no longer continue with the company until I pay the $5800. Emma the receptionist is very pushy about getting the money.
