Description

I was sent a text message about a remote job for eBay Recruiting Team from Rachel. I texted back and was hooked up with Emily Smith on WhatsApp. She is the one who helped me through setting up new work account and a new wallet from Exodus. I did the training and the money I supposedly made was put into my wallet. Anyway I worked for 2 days and was asked to put into my account $450.00. Emily assured me that it was perfectly safe in my wallet. Until I put the money in I could go no farther, she said after I deposited the money I could pull the money out of my wallet. I refused to put in the money and all she could say was after you complete this order I can teach you how to deposit it into your bank account. She made it all sound so good! My wallet I hooked to my workbench had nothing in it when all was said and done.
