Description

I was contacted via text concerning a remote digital media position. Once the position started I was required to send personal funds to purchase bitcoin to complete my transactions or my wallet was locked and restricted, and my funds could not be returned to me at this chance are they indicate I need to purchase $10,000 worth of bitcoin to un restrict my wallet to obtain my funds. I am refusing to do that as I believe this is a scam.
