Description

I was sent an email offering a job as a proofreader for some customer service texts, checking for grammar, punctuation and clarity. I worked for a week straight, doing the work and sending my review on a .docx document back via email. I was offered a rate of $7/kb, and with the five documents that I reviewed I should've received (according to my calculations) slightly over $200. When it was time for my payment, they said that the position of "online office manager" was not available anymore, but that I could work as a "deals manager" instead for a fixed salary of $3000/month + 7% on commissions. When I asked them to just pay me for the $200 that I worked hard for before I could continue with the deal, they were very adamant on not paying me until I had accepted their offer first. At this point, so many red flags were raised that I couldn't continue with this charade, and I stopped replying to their emails/sending then any more messages. A few months later, I found this website of a person having the same experience that I've had, so I'm sharing my experience in the hope that the class action lawsuit leads somewhere... I feel cheated of the money that I worked hard for.
