Description

I'll let you decide whether this is legitimate, or a scam. I was WhatsApp'd with the following: Our company is called (Accio), and we use the platform system to optimize product purchase rates and positive reviews, with the goal of improving the sales ranking of our company's products on the appropriate sales platform. It only takes one hour a day to complete, and you can earn $100-300 a day We need to register a work account on the platform website provided by the company and use it to complete our daily tasks Salary Structure: Basic salary of $5,940 per month + daily commission The basic salary is paid in 3 installments: After working 5 days: $680 After working 15 days: $1,380 After working 30 days: $3,880 Daily commission: Complete 3 sets of optimization tasks and withdraw to your personal account on the same day. What only becomes evident (although in the small print, which you are reminded of by a 'Customer Representative') is that composite orders can occur, and require further crypto deposits to complete. Receiving 2 composite orders, I had to deposit two amounts - the equivalent in crypto of $2500 and $7500. Which I unwittingly did. To make a withdrawal, I was informed that I needed to deposit a further $30, which was added to my withdrawal amount, but then needed to be deducted from my withdrawal amount when making the withdrawal. I then received this text: The transaction fee has been received and added to your work account. You can now proceed with the withdrawal. Please ensure the withdrawal is completed within 5 minutes; otherwise, the withdrawal function on your work account may be restricted. If the withdrawal function is restricted, you will need to pay 50% of your account balance and complete a set of optimization tasks to lift the restriction. Additionally, if your credit score decreases as a result, you will need to purchase credit score points to increase your score. Please note: Please complete the withdrawal operation within the specified time; only one-time withdrawal is allowed, multiple partial withdrawals are not allowed! At 10:26, I received: Time starts now, you can start making withdrawals. I endeavored to contact my coach to ensure i did not make a mistake. My coach, who had been available all morning via WhattsApp, did not respond to my texts, nor to my two attempted phone calls. I erroneously withdrew the incorrect amount.. And at 10:32 (6 minutes later, received this text: Remember to keep the $30 handling fee and you cannot withdraw it. too late. My account has been frozen, and to unfreeze the account would need to transfer a further $12,000 in crypto. Which I'm not prepared to do. You decide whether this is legitimate, ethical, or a scam
