Description
I saw an ad on Facebook Marketplace for flexible hours ranging from 150 to 1500 a day depending on how often you work and the amount of data points you're able to complete. Upon applying they didn’t ask me for personal information the just asked if I was a US citizen, if I had a driver’s license, if I was older then 20 year old. Once I completed the form with out giving person information they sent me a confirmation stating that I meet the criteria’s for being able to apply for the job. They then said that a manager will get ahold of me to discuss further details, but first I had to download WhatsApp business. Once I downloaded I got a notification from someone with the logo FLEXSTEEL on their profile. They then advised me to download telegram, MetaMask, Crypto.com, Paybis, Upload. Once they told me to create an account for these things they got me in touch with a “personal trainer” that would guide me on how to complete transfers and transactions through the company. They had me create a FlexSteel Account and then my trainer gave me their account info to get into it so they can show me how to generate data and analyzes. They taught me the steps and when the account of flexsteel would go into the negative they would send me a receipt to send to tech so they can rebalance out the account. After doing so I completed the 28 data point in their account and they then asked for my employee ID number from my Flexsteel account and transferred 150 dollars into it. When I logged into my flexsteel account I then transferred that 150 dollars into my MetaMask account and was able to Venmo that into my bank account. Thinking it was legit because I got pay I then started to do the data analysis on my own. Then my data account went into the negatives and I wasn’t able to generate new products. When I asked my trainer about it she said that I have to pull money from my personal account into the second party server (crypto, MetaMask, Paybis, Uphold, Etc) then transfer that into flexsteel to balance out my account I would then receive a 2%-13% commission depending on how Newly the product is. After I did so I then ended up getting 7 newly products that through my work account into the negatives and needing 1,200/1,400/5,000 even 12,000 dollars to regenerate my account balance. I currently invested over 18,000 dollars into Flexsteel and still haven’t gotten paid because I haven’t been able to close out my 28 days points because now they’re asking me to put in over 28,000 dollars.
