I received a text message from a Isabella with eToro Group Ld regarding a job opportunity with there company. There was a three day trial where I would be evaluated to see if it was something I may be interested in. The daily salary for the 3-day paid trial would range from $200-$500 a day. I was then told that after the 3 day trial period i could become a full time employee with a $700 bonus. Then after working consistently for three days, the base salary will range from $6,000 to $8,000, plus a performance bonus between $1,000 and $5,000. I would also receive statutory paid leave, health insurance, and education subsidies. I was given a phone number of +1 (845) 380-4266 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 saying their name is Nicole. 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 $36 through CashApp and when completed I was allowed to withdraw a total 0f $64.80. This was all done through a specific set of commands to follow totaling 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 to be running smooth until the amount required to participate start increased dramatically. It went from $36 to $86 to $156 to $500. I paid in order to get my max payout like I was guaranteed. Until I completed the last task of $1280. Once it was completed, I was issued a withdrawal code and advise to speak to “@eToro_Financial_Director“. They walked me through the steps to withdraw my funds and have them issued back to my Cash App account. They told me it would take 10-30 minutes, then I received a long message stating that I had to pay a security deposit of $1286 in order for my funds to be released. Never was any of this disclosed as everything stated that funds would be available to withdraw upon the completion of the tasks. They are now holding my funds hostage until I pay the security deposit since my “eToro account has been registered for a short period of time, I will be required to make a deposit in order to request a withdrawal”. I have done every task as I was asked to do and now they have not only scammed me out of money, they are holding my earning hostage. I am in desperate need of some help in getting my money returned. I have filed a dispute with my bank but not sure if they will approve it. Any assistance is appreciated
