Description

They originally reached out to me about a job through text message. From there she began to tell me about tasks that needed to be done that I will get paid three to $12 per video that I liked from there I would need to invest certain amounts of money and in return I will get 30%. It had something to do with bitcoin and regulating the price of the bitcoin. The tasks became more expensive and that if I did not pay the same amount I cannot receive any of my money back the final task requested me to pay $1300. I cannot pay that therefore they said that I cannot obtain any of the money that I had already put in. Therefore I would be at a loss they will continue to reach out and see if I had obtained the $1300. And made it very clear that if I did not pay the $1300 then I could not get the rest of my money out.
