Description

InstaWork is a fake employer who lures unsuspecting people (job seekers) in between careers to various worksites (job sites) under the guise of potential full time employability. None of the interim job assignments lead to full time employment instead job seekers are taken advantage of on their platforms with business partners. For example, I have been on their platform nearly 2 years. No full time offers have been extended by potential future employers. Instead invitations to date fellow peers occur on a reoccurring basis. Both labor and sex trafficking including human trafficking occurs (illegals aliens are on their platform). The true intent of the platform is to pair up individuals (legal / illegal) in exchange for drugs, sex and/or money. The job seekers sexual encounters with fellow peers are recorded and disseminated within their work group by their figureheads without the unsuspecting person’s explicit consent. Furthermore, the unsuspecting person’s (job seeker’s) personally identifiable information (legal name, date of birth, social security number, address, citizenship documents, banking account information and lastly address) is compromised for the rest of his / her life because it simply fell into the wrong entity’s / entities hands for further distribution and/ or sale without explicit consent. I am a victim of said scams. Recently, after I refused sexual relations with an associate on September 9, 2025 my employment contract was arbitrarily terminated without due or just cause. After I questioned their reasoning for terminating my employment contract I was given circular logic. I.e., nothing specific. A shift policy violation was quoted with no details. I hadn’t completed a shift for their company since January 1, 2025. However, I had repeatedly received job invitations from their company via email since that time. No violation(s) occurred. I rejected a solicitation for sex from an associate which directly led to termination of my employment contract. This company is a part of a global trafficking and identity theft scam. They are selling human capital (trafficking), disseminating revenge porn, distributing drugs and stealing lives (identities). They (corporation) are harm to themselves and others. This business should be terminated for the good of the country and mankind.
