Description
on 9/10/25 and 9/11/25 I was contacted by text by a woman named Maria... I took on a remote marketing job with a company named Wunderkind and/or Wunderlink. I was told I would be Optimizing App orders to promote traffic to their apps. Each app displayed a cost and a commission. And after you have completed 80 orders (2 tasks) you can withdraw what you've made..leaving $97 in the account for the next day. The cost came out of the balance in my account that had been earned during my training that morning, then after the submission was successful, that amount was refunded into your account and commission was added as well. Then I received what they call a "High-Profit" order. This involves a higher price cost and higher commission. Deducting this higher price order causes your account to go into the negative and doesn't allow the order to process, doesn't let you proceed and you can't get to the withdraw phase until you have completed all 80 orders. The only way to remedy this is the middle of your orders is to add enough of your money ($300 for this one via purchasing Crypto currency and depositing it into your work account) to cover the order, get out of the negative finish the tasks and withdraw you money back out. Problem is, next thing I knew I received another "high Profit" order before I could finish the tasks. This one required $660 more to get out of the negative. I wanted my personal funds back so I did what they said and deposited the Crypto...I had 7 tasks to go to be able to retrieve my added money and then permanently remove myself from their ranks. Then I got a Third "High-Profit" order which put me in the negative $2591. There was no way I could cover this. I contacted my trainer and Customer Service and was told I could get my $1185 back as soon as I added the $2591 and finished my tasks. Then I could do a withdraw and my personal money back. They stated they had no way of removing this job from my tasks for the day nor controlling who got one, but did say that since it was my 2nd day they were "amazed" I got any at all. I believe making you think that you can get your money back is their scam. When I requested help getting my money back they all became very rude. They claim I can get all my money back as soon as I deposit $2591 and finish my tasks. I was contacted by them again on 9/12/25 and also 9/16/25
