Description

The scammer introduced themselves as being from a recruiting agency. This was the text:  Hi, I'm Mabel from the Robert Half Recruiting team. We came across your profile on several recruiting platforms and believe you’d be a great fit for our current remote part-time opportunity. This role involves assisting companies like Costco and Sam’s Club in improving product visibility and customer engagement. The schedule is extremely flexible—just 90 minutes per day, 4 days a week. You can work from anywhere, and the daily pay ranges from $200 to $350. We provide free training, along with 15 to 20 days of paid vacation per year, in addition to all standard holidays. The company currently has 35 open positions. If you're interested in joining us, please send a text message to 6365297080 for more information. Inquiries are welcome between 9:00 AM and 10:00 PM Eastern Time (EST). Note: You must be at least 25 years old and responsible. Then set me up to take screenshots of phone apps that were part of an “order”. I would copy a screenshot and caption it with the “task” number. I was “paid” in cryptocurrency which accumulated over the “trial” period of three days. Each day there was a hedging order that the promise was that you would deposit an amount and get a profit in exchange. Towards the end of the trial period the minimum was raised to $300 that needed to come from a linked debit card. The idea was that I would transfer money in and get refunded an amount over what was initially sent. What stopped them was the bank declined the transaction. But they still got $300 transferred to a crypto address that I was unable to recover.. w have the chat conversations stored.
