Description

7/126/2025 I was approached by Madelyn Gureer(recommender) on WhatsApp for a position as an APP application optimization provider user (AAOPU) as an APP promotion. The position was part time and only had 2 sets of 40 tasks with 2 simple clicks to do per day. The tasks generated commission profit on each task The commissions are rolled up as the tasks are completed. At the end of the 80 tasks the total funds were to be withdrawn to my cryptocurrency account. The sets have the potential to be combined at random. A combination has higher profit percentage. Once a combination has been assigned to an account the account balance goes negative. The negative amount has to be deposited to the account by the AAOPU to make the balance positive. The employee has to provide funds to the computer platform to continue completing tasks. The initial starting deposit minimum was 101USD. I was involved with this job from 7/16/2025 to 8/4/2025. In my case the combination tasks hit once in my second set for 734USD. The third day had 3 combination tasks which created a negative value of 28600USD which was beyond my means. I had already deposited 12123.37UISD into the platform to buy my way out. The recommender and company would not settle on amount that was based on my earnings before the third combination task. I had deposited 12123 USD and earned 4603USD in commissions over the 2 weeks that I worked according to their salary schedule.
