Description

September 16th was day 2 in a 1099 role/job. I was in the process of completing my day's work. In this process, I could not complete the work as my "account" was negative & told I needed to deposit my own funds $280, to use these funds to purchase cryptocurrency. This, in turn, would be deposited into my account and paid out to me at the end of the day, along with my daily salary. I was promised that any money that I used in this process would be refunded to me at the end of the day via totaling almost $1.1k. (see attached PDF doc that details exact instructions/promises). I then had another "review" to complete, yet to continue with my day's work, it would require another cash deposit to buy more crypto. I needed to deposit $1.2k into Metamask to complete the crypto purchase to finish this process. My mentor pointed out to me that all of my deposits would be reimbursed to me in addition to my salary total, which would be over $6k.I borrowed $500 from my wife in addition to another $400 in my personal checking account. My mentor had told me that she would help me with the remaining balance so I could receive my payday of over $6k. After considering this, I moved forward with the deposit into Metamask so I could complete my crypto purchase to move me one step closer to completing my reviews and receiving my $6k in salary/reimbursement. In the process of trying to finish the reviews of my 18 properties, I came across my third "review" complete, as this reflected a negative $6.5k in my withdrawal account. Another huge deposit was required. Informed by my mentor, this would only require a deposit of $5.5k. I only made the second deposit of $900 with the understanding that I would complete my task & receive my salary of $6k, which would be my reimbursement/salary. However, now to finish and complete my tasks, I need to deposit another $5.5k 0. I was told that my profit would be over 26k. I was asked if I was willing to complete this-understand this completely relates to depositing more money to buy more crypto. It was told to me that I would receive no salary/reimbursement if I did not make this purchase of crypto yet again. I did not do it and was not and could not receive reimbursement, nor my "salary". This was never divulged to me ever. They scammed me out of $1.2k. I have filed a report with local enforcement and can provide the report number if necessary.
