Description

I was contacted about a freelance opportunity mining bitcoin. "Working less than an hour a day can earn you upwards of $6000 per month.. blah blah." I had received many of these texts and ignored them, but this one stood out as they claimed to be from a staffing agency I had used in the past. The opportunity wasn't listed on the staffing agency website, but they said it was a limited freelance opportunity. I was promised no up-front costs. I gave it a shot and earned decent money the first 4 days. The 5th day, they offered a "salary" of $1500 to my account. I then encountered "bundles" that caused my account to be negative. I had to pay to cover the costs, but I was promised to get everything back, plus commission, after the set was completed. By the end of that one set, I had encountered 3 bundles, deposited $5000 of my own money, and my "account" was negative over $18,500. Over the next couple months, I worked my way back even (somehow) with deposits from my paychecks and from my recruiter who promised this was still legit. One the day my final $100 was deposited, I went to withdraw everything as promised and encountered an error. Apparently, because I did not finish my order that day, my account was flagged as delinquent, lowering my "credit score" for my account. I was then told I had to wait until my "credit score" reached 1000, which would take 1000 days, or 3 years. I filed a complaint with the FBI cyber crimes. I warned legal action. I am completely lost. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS
