Description

As stated in the previous complaint, I was contacted 8/28/2025 by Tatiana. She shared this part time job with me. I was told “ The company is called Wunderkind. It's a global technology company focused on driving digital growth and helping apps improve their search rankings. The company's responsibility is to drive digital growth by helping apps improve their visibility and search rankings. It is dedicated to empowering businesses, app developers, publishers, and advertisers, by enhancing their exposure and helping them attract more users effectively.”. Then shared “ The position is for Data Analytics and Optimization. The role involves working with platform-generated datasets for analysis. First, you’ll need to create a personal work account on the company’s Workbench platform. The main responsibility is to log in daily and submit low-visibility apps generated by the system. Our main role is to help developers optimize their apps daily by boosting downloads, increasing visibility and popularity, and improving user ratings: so they can attract and retain more users.”. Nothing was shared about how much money I would need to provide for this and nothing shared about these high visibility apps generated by their system. So, on the third group of 40 tasks, I had one high visibility apps but it was not a lot of money to come up with. Then on the fourth group of tasks I had 3 high visibility apps where I ended up providing $20,000. The 37th card was $11,000. They enticed me by saying I would make $24,000+. Then when I got to the 40th task card, they wanted $38,125. I was told I could not get back the money I invested nor the commission I earned unless I completed this task. The investment would increase my contribution to $60,000 and earnings to over $100,000. When I asked if I could give up the task, I was told no and that I was liable for completing the task. If I don’t complete the card, I receive no money for my job as well. They were not helpful, only gave me an extension of a few days to come up with the money to complete the task. They said, “ Dear user, there are rules for withdrawing funds from the work platform. If you haven't completed your work, you won't be able to withdraw any funds. This is because the work platform won't be able to submit the analyzed app data to the merchant within the specified timeframe. This will result in a breach of contract, and the work platform will be liable for substantial penalties. You will also be held responsible. If you believe that the work platform has committed any illegal acts, you can get your funds back in any way you think is feasible. You can also find your lawyer to sue the work platform. This is your freedom, but I can only handle your work account in accordance with the terms and conditions. At the same time, I will submit the relevant records and your information to the company's judicial department, and the company's judicial department will be waiting for your lawyer's prosecution at any time!”. I am exhausted due the stress of this. I am disappointed. And, I am now in financial distress.
