Description

I was approached about a part-time job helping optimize small business products and increasing their presence via SEO. The first three days went smoothly and during training, I saw the transactions and in hindsight, I can see they were trying to build my trust. By day four, I hit what they call a combination product that took my account into the deficit and had to transfer USD into crypto currency to level the account. Upon returning to the task given, I hit another combination product showing me that I had one over $53,000 and that put my account into $14,500 of a deficit. When I pushed back about making that payment. They said if I cleared the tasks I would gain all the commissions back. I have been going back-and-forth with their customer service department and the person that brought me into this and they are all confirming that this is legitimate and if I close my tasks, I will receive my bonus.
