Description

The Amazon task scam contacted on telegram told could make money doing Amazon task, which is putting items in your cart and thereby jolting the Amazon computers within a week asked to join a small group trading crypto learned a great deal about crypto that was all legitimate used all legitimate kinds of crypto wallets and so forth Lost money because it was a total scam was enticed by a young woman lost money over about three weeks and I had yellow and red flags the entire time but was very vulnerable when I finally came to my senses and contacted Webull itself. The first thing the fraud officer asked me was this conducted over telegram and I said yes and he said it’s 100% a scam we do not do business on telegram Telegram is a platform that I use and then I found has been used also by scammers and scammers also use Snapchat, but of course scammers use all the platforms I get scams sent to me on iMessages all the time, but this particular one was on telegram with a recruiter attractive young woman Who told me about the opportunity I say, attractive, young woman I just saw a picture of her and the other people, I just saw pictures of them and their messages except for the receptionist Hailey Jones, whom I did see on video two brief times she claimed to be from Orlando Florida, but had moved to the New York City area when she was on the video chat with me she had a distinct English accent, which I know because my wife is English. I work with her for approximately 100 hours over three weeks and learned a great deal but on the other hand, I was constantly told handsome this and handsome that and I was very vulnerable to that due to my age and due to medical conditions in my family, Miss Jones, although she was called a receptionist, she was the person who worked directly with people helping them with the Amazon tasks and also with all of the trading that was to be done. I have reason to believe that if it was this person that I was in contact with then then she has a total fraud, but I have reason to believe that you may be of a girlfriend or an acquaintance of these scammers who has been paid to do this, or who has been coerced into doing this kind of thing Because the only time that I ever saw her were these two brief video things for all I know the scammer could’ve been a male just calling himself Hailey Jones and the scammer proceeded to know a great deal and talk a great deal about where I lived and I then realize that this is very easy to do to just google or two look on Wikipedia about where I live and talk about these places when you’re on, just doing it on text messages on Telegram the really red flag came up when Hailey Jones wanted to come and visit me in my city of Pullman and said she would stay at the Hampton Inn right believing that this was a good idea to develop this with her actually, she was somebody who was directing the kind of work I was doing I said certainly that sounds good and she thought of doing it over a two day period and then never really spoke about it too much anymore I had a lot of contact with her and a lot of emotions were involved in this. I’d be willing to speak to news media about this anonymously and to answer any questions if they are interested, my local news media is what I mean.
