Description

This was a task scam. I paid in cryptocurrency to thinking the commission was pretty good. I had to arrange things with my bank so it took several days to complete the tasks. When complete, I was told by tech support that I had to pay a $20,000 delay fee within 3 days to draw down my pay. Of course they refused to take it out of my commission "because your account is locked" due to the delay. Here is the string of texts (photos removed) between me and my mentor. Isabella 8 October 2025 20:34 James Hello. It's Jim. 20:35 Isabella Isabella here, glad to see you here, Jim.?? 20:35 James Thank you 20:37 Isabella Alright, I'll just need your attention for about 45-90 minutes for the training. After that, you'll be able to begin working as early as tomorrow. Your 150 USD daily pay begins from today after training. 20:37 James Sounds good. 20:37 Isabella And I will train you one on one from here and invite you to join the working group so you can get the latest information.?? 20:38 James Sticker Not included, change data exporting settings to download. ??, 10.8 KB 20:39 Isabella So you can now register your account on the Inspirato platform using my invitation code below: https://www.inspiratogroup.com Employee ID : 46H89Y 20:40 James Should my ID be the user name? 20:40 Isabella Remember, the withdrawal pin is the password you need to input when you want to claim your payroll. Any pin that is easy for you to memorize is good to go. 20:41 James In reply to this message Or should I just create a username? 20:41 Isabella In reply to this message Yes sure. 20:41 You just create a username. 20:44 James what is my invitation code 20:45 employee id? 20:45 Isabella In reply to this message Use my employee ID as your invitation code. 20:45 James ?? 20:45 Isabella Sticker Not included, change data exporting settings to download. ??, 19.0 KB 20:46 James I'm in 20:46 Isabella In reply to this message Well done! 20:47 Alright, now I need your employee ID to register a training account for you. Kindly share your invitation code from here 20:48 James GDEK5T ?? 20:49 Isabella Thanks. Please hold a moment, I'll create a training account using your invitation code, and 30% dividends will be credited to your account at the end.?? 20:53 The training account has been registered. Now you can log out and sign in to the training account below: USERNAME – Isabella2309 PASSWORD – 212121 20:54 Let me know after you sign in. 20:55 James im in ?? 20:55 Isabella I just added you to the working group, so you can interact with other members also?? 20:55 James Great. thank you ?? 20:56 Isabella In reply to this message You're welcome, Jim ?? 20:57 Alright, please take a moment to verify that the training account now shows a balance $500. 20:57 James ?? 20:58 Isabella Yes, because I've personally credited this amount to help you begin the training with real-time experience. 20:59 James OK 21:00 Isabella This training account belongs to me and is used to guide new members. The purpose is to give you a practical understanding of how the workflow operates, and you'll earn real dividends during this training. 21:00 No payment is ever required from you to get started. 21:00 James OK. 21:01 Isabella So before we begin, let me clearly explain how the system works.?? 21:01 James ?? 21:03 Isabella When you start, the platform will randomly assign listings to review. There are two types: 1. Normal stay earns 1.9% dividends based on the listing value 2. Luxury stay earns 19% dividends based on the listing value. ?? 21:03 These listings are assigned automatically by the system and cannot be selected manually. 21:04 James The dividends are how we get paid? 21:05 Isabella In reply to this message That's right, during training, as you earn dividends from the training account, 30% of those dividends will automatically be credited to your personal working account. 21:05 James got it ?? 21:06 Isabella Great! 21:07 So, please follow the steps outlined above and provide a screenshot before submitting your first review. I will then provide detailed guidance to assist you with the dividends calculation process.?? 21:08 James OK. done 21:09 Isabella Nice! Please send me a screenshot so that I can explain to you.?? 21:09 James 21:10 Isabella No no. I mean the history that you submitted. ?? 21:10 James I don't understand 21:11 Isabella Wait, I will guide you there. ?? 21:12 Alright, please go back to your home page and click on this. 21:12 Then, click on history you will see. 21:12 James ?? 21:13 Isabella You see, it's a Normal post worth $244, and the dividends will be $244* 1.9% = $4.64 21:14 James yup. got it ?? 21:14 Isabella Similarly, if you receive a luxury stays lot from your account, the dividends will be 19%. 21:14 James when you review, is it randomly selected sites? ?? 21:16 where is the line between luxury and normal sites? 21:16 Isabella In reply to this message Of course, as I mentioned, these listings are assigned automatically by the system 21:18 James In reply to this message is it a price-based delineation? 21:18 Isabella In reply to this message As I mentioned, once you secure a luxury stay, your earnings will increase significantly, up to 10 times the normal rate. For example, if a standard stay earns $4, a luxury stay would increase your earnings to $40. 21:19 James right. just wondering how those levels are determined. price per night? 21:20 I'm just curious. If you don't know that's fine too. Just my curious cat brain kicking in. 21:22 Isabella No worries, I just wait for your question, then I can explain it all in one. ?? 21:23 Yes, that’s correct, the distinction is based on the price per night. 21:24 James got it. moving on... 21:25 what's next? 21:25 Isabella Alright, now you can complete your 18 review on your training account, and yes, you will see the price and dividends one by one as you complete your 18 reviews. 21:26 James just do the same thing 18 times? 21:26 Isabella In reply to this message Correct! 21:31 James I got stuck on #12 (luxury). It says "Insufficient balance" 21:32 Isabella In reply to this message Oh really? 21:32 Can you please screenshot the history for me? 21:33 James ?? 21:34 Your profile states a negative balance. ?? 21:36 Isabella Incredible! We've secured a Luxury stay valued at $850, entailing a 19% dividend amounting to $161.50 ?? 21:36 James except I can't submit due to the negative balance 21:36 Isabella Do you remember we talked about this when we started lots, and I explained to you about 1.9% or 19% dividends??? 21:36 James yes 21:37 Isabella In reply to this message Oh, yes, no worries. I’ll explain why the amount went into the negative. 21:39 So the account balance currently reflects a negative value due to the acquisition of a Professional post worth $850, which surpassed your account balance. As a result, the balance stands at -$297.35 21:40 James So...you have to have money in your account to cover a night's stay at these places? ?? 21:40 Isabella As you know, Luxury stays Price is $850, and our balance is 552.65, so we have a negative -$297.35, so we need to clear the negative balance and complete our 18 reviews. Once we will clear the negative balance, we will get back into the next posts 21:42 In reply to this message So, yes in order to proceed, I'll need to cover the negative balance, and the deposit amount will be refunded to my account during the next posts?? 21:43 James not sure I understand that last part, but let's move forward and maybe I'll see it in action. I learn better doing and seeing. 21:44 Wait...I think I've got it. You have to have enough in your account to cover the cost of the night's stay, but you get that money refunded AFTER you have submitted your review. Correct? ?? 21:45 Isabella In reply to this message That's correct! 21:46 James let me know when I can proceed. ?? 21:46 Isabella Yes, after you complete the training and start working on your own account, I will withdraw the funds as my salary. ?? 21:47 In reply to this message Alright, can you please check if you see the "Live Chat Support" icon at the bottom right corner of your screen? 21:47 James yes 21:48 Isabella In reply to this message Great! Once it appears, you can start a conversation with live support using the details below: Username: Isabella2309 Department: Deposit Message to send: "Hi, I’d like to get the deposit details." 21:49 After sending the message, they will provide a wallet address or deposit info. So once you get it, please screenshot and send it to me here. ?? 21:49 James done 21:49 Isabella In reply to this message Can you screenshot for me? 21:50 James 21:50 21:51 Isabella Please copy the wallet address and send me here.?? 21:51 James 0x5c8BE3488eb6b6fe90BD83820366795595C0EA13 ?? 21:52 Isabella Alright, I'm going to deposit now, I will send you a receipt when I complete the deposit. Wait for me ?? 21:55 I've made a deposit, you can send the receipt to live support and let me know once they say it's completed 21:58 James completed. you got all of 65 cents in your account now. ?? 21:59 Isabella In reply to this message That's fine, we still can process the training if you don't get another luxury stay ?? 21:59 Alright, now please click the history page and upload the pending review ?? 21:59 James done ?? 22:00 but we're back to a negative balance ?? 22:01 Isabella In reply to this message Huh? 22:01 James ?? 22:01 Isabella Can you screenshot the history for me again? 22:01 James ?? 22:03 Isabella Wow, I'm so grateful to you for helping me get another luxury stay, so today my income has increased again.???? 22:03 Did you know? Not many members get to land two luxury stays back-to-back, that’s a nice opportunity for you.?? 22:03 James but that one is only $250 22:04 and we should have had over 700 in the account 22:05 Sticker Not included, change data exporting settings to download. ??, 25.4 KB 22:05 Isabella In reply to this message Yes, that is only $250, but your reward is $47.50, so that means 250 x 19/100= $47.50 22:06 James right, but we had well over $250 in the account after the last review, so how did it go 250 negative? 22:07 actually with your additional 150, that would have brought it to around 850 22:09 That means the price of that site would have been around 1150 22:15 ?? 22:17 Isabella At the beginning, I made a deposit of $500 for you. After you submitted 11 reviews, you had already earned slightly more than $500. The price of the luxury stay is $850, which is why the account went into the negative. I had already deposited funds to cover it, but when you booked another luxury stay, an additional $250 was needed. That’s why I needed to make another deposit. 22:18 James OK. are you working on that, or do I need to get deposit info again? 22:19 Isabella No need, we can use the same wallet address. 22:20 James OK. shoot me the receipt when you get it 22:21 Isabella In reply to this message Please wait a moment. I will send you the receipt once it is ready. 22:24 Done! Just like before 22:24 Please forward this receipt to the live support, and after confirmation, you can continue working. 22:28 James done and got a $120 reward on the wheel ?? 22:29 Isabella In reply to this message Wow...?? 22:29 Can you screenshot of your 18 reviews for me just to confirm? 22:30 James 22:30 Isabella I mean the total amount that you have earned on your training account. 22:31 James ? 22:31 that? ?? 22:32 Isabella Congratulations on completing your training. Please log out of your training account and log in to your personal account to check today's earnings.?? 22:32 So, once you've logged in, you can start working on your account. Let me know when you complete the 18 review on your account, and I will guide you on how to do the withdrawal?? 22:36 James ? 22:36 Photo 1280×182 ?? 22:37 Isabella That’s great! Congratulations on finishing your work on the account. ?????? 22:37 By the way, what bonus did you get from the spinning wheel? ?? 22:38 James 25 ? 22:39 Isabella Not bad at all! I hope next time you'll receive even more, or maybe even an iPhone 17 Pro Max.???? 22:40 So, are you ready to activate your account and withdraw your earnings? 22:41 James sure 22:42 Isabella Alright, so before you can withdraw the salary, you are required to activate the withdrawal function of your account first 22:42 James ok 22:43 Isabella Same thing, you can contact Live Support and text I want to activate my account 22:46 James I have to deposit money to get it out? 22:48 Isabella In reply to this message This is a platform rule to keep things safe and fair, preventing people from creating multiple fake accounts. Activation requires a $28 deposit, but don’t worry, it’s not a fee. The amount goes directly into your balance, and when you withdraw later, you’ll get it back together with your earnings. This is just how the platform ensures every account is real 22:48 James gotcha 22:49 Isabella Please let me know once you have activated your account, and I will guide you on how to withdraw your payroll.?? 22:51 James waiting on agent 22:54 Isabella Nice! 23:04 James when i FINALLY got an answer & was able to pay, the finance dpt was closed. apparently won't happen until tomorrow now 23:06 Isabella Yes, it's a bit late, we only need to wait till tomorrow when the Live Support is available at 11 am. then you can send the receipt again. They will confirm it for you. 23:06 James Once it is activated what do I need to do? 23:07 Isabella After that, I will guide you on how to withdraw your salary. 23:07 James Will you be on at 11am? 23:07 Isabella Have a good night, Jim ???? 23:07 In reply to this message Yes, of course. ?? 23:09 James see you in the morning 23:10 Isabella Will talk to you again tomorrow, Jim?? 9 October 2025 11:07 Isabella Good morning, Jim. I hope you’re having a wonderful day.???? 11:20 James Thank you, you as well. 11:21 Isabella Alright, Jim. Have you sent the receipt to the live support again? 11:23 James waiting on confirmation 11:24 So for the initial 7 day trial period, I can only do 18 reviews. What happens after that? Is there a limit on the number of reviews you can do if you are doing full time? If so, how many are you expected to do? 11:27 Isabella Normally, I observe your learning progress during work. If you perform well, I’ll let you complete 36 reviews a day. But for now, you only need to finish 18 reviews ?? 11:28 James Also, does how much you have in your account determine the price points of the properties you are reviewing? 11:30 If so, would it be helpful to put more money into my account so as to get higher-priced properties and generate a higher payout per review? or is it more aligned with how many reviews you have completed overall? 11:30 Isabella No, it won’t, because the properties are assigned randomly. You can withdraw your full commission amount later, and starting tomorrow, you’ll receive a $100 new employee bonus. Let’s proceed with the withdrawal steps now 11:31 Before you withdraw, I just need to ask you a few questions so I can recommend the best withdrawal method for you 11:31 Do you have an SSN? (You don’t need to share it - I just need to know if you have one, because it’s used for wallet verification) 11:31 James still waiting on confirmation... ?? 11:31 Yes I do 11:32 Isabella In reply to this message Not necessarily, it’s assigned by the system. But getting luxury stays means we can earn higher commissions 11:33 In reply to this message You can ask again 11:34 Can you ask live support if the account has been activated? 11:35 James OK we are all set 11:36 Isabella Which wallet have you used before? Cash App, Metamask, or Crypto? 11:36 James None of those 11:37 Isabella Do you use an iPhone or an Android phone? 11:37 James I have Venmo, if that works 11:37 Android 11:38 Isabella Venmo can’t be used because our company has international members, and crypto is the only method that works across all countries. It’s fast, low-cost, and not limited by banks or borders. Since salaries are sent in crypto, you will need a wallet like CashApp or Metamask that can properly receive 11:38 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.squareup.cash&hl=en-US 11:38 In reply to this message Send me the screenshot once you've downloaded it 11:44 James 11:45 All set 11:47 Isabella I've made a withdraw???? 11:47 Go home page 11:48 Now tap on Bitcoin > Scroll down > Tap on Deposit Bitcoin, then send me a screenshot 11:49 *Remember completing the verification, there will be some questions.

Starting tomorrow, you won't need it for withdrawals 12:19 Awesome! Just wait for your Metamask to receive the salary. Once it’s in, let me know and I will guide you through converting it to Cash and transferring it to your bank 12:20 James It's there minus $0.06. I assume that is due to the crpyto exchange 12:21 (i'm not gonna cry over 6 cents) ?? 12:21 Isabella Yes, it's normal that we're charged fees when using wallet platforms. However, after completing the work tomorrow, I'll guide you through claiming the fee from live support ? 12:22 I think we can check Metamask now 12:22 Send me a screenshot 12:22 James ?? 12:23 huh. changed from initial amount. I guess that's the fee. 12:23 Isabella Click here and click 'Sell' 12:24 You still have remaining commissions in your work account. Remember to withdraw all of it tomorrow after completing the jobs 12:24 James Sell isn't an option there. Only Swap, Perps, Earn 12:25 12:25 Isabella Click here 12:25 James ok 12:25 Isabella And send me a screenshot 12:25 James 12:26 Isabella 12:27 choose your debit card 12:27 Send me a screenshot 12:27 I check for you 12:28 James 12:28 Isabella You choose debit card right? 12:28 James yes 12:28 Isabella 12:28 0.03448 12:29 You need to verify MoonPay first 12:31 I'll take care of my son first. Once you complete the verification, the funds will be withdrawn to your bank account.

If you just verified your Cash App, you won't have to wait this long 13:04 In reply to this message No, because you made a withdrawal today, the system needs time to update 13:05 James how do i tell if i have been verified in cash app? 13:05 Isabella Your Cash App verification is now complete, but the commission is already in Metamask. Therefore, we can only wait for MoonPay verification 13:06 James cash app said it could take up to 10 business days 13:09 Isabella Yes, but it is not necessarily required to wait for 10 business days 13:09 James so how do you tell if it's completed verification? 13:10 (cashapp) 13:10 Isabella You should receive a message from Cash App confirming your successful verification ?? 13:11 James how long does Metamask usually take? 13:14 Isabella It might take a few hours, since the last time my member was also on hold for three hours 13:15 James OK. I have a couple of errands to run. I'm going to go take care of them and come back in a while. Is that OK with you? ?? 13:15 Isabella Sure! Take your time! 15:43 James OK, I'm verified 15:47 Isabella Now you just need to fill in your email and debit card details on MoonPay, and the commission will be transferred to your bank account 15:53 James does it usually take a few minutes to complete? 15:54 Isabella Yes, the verification process will be completed shortly 15:54 All good? 15:55 James ?? 15:55 15:55 Still waiting 15:56 Isabella That's normal, since this is your first withdrawal 15:56 Has your CashApp been working? 15:57 James Still pending ID verification 16:06 Isabella I just saw that you listed your current job as Teacher when you applied.

The directions are not clear on what to do once logged in. Can you assist? The transfer is pending, but I'm not sure where to go to complete the process 16:28 Isabella Send me a screenshot 16:28 I check for you 16:29 In reply to this message Metamask 16:29 If you don't mind, you can also take a screenshot of your bank account, and I'll check it for you 16:29 16:31 Now open your Metamask 16:31 And send me a screenshot 16:31 James 16:32 Isabella 16:34 Isabella Actually, this isn't a Metamask issue, it's your bank processing the transaction 16:35 James They are processing it, the email describes what I have to do, but I'm not sure where to go to do it. 16:35 Isabella 16:35 In reply to this message Try to click here 16:36 James 16:37 Isabella ETH 16:37 James It takes me here.

The deposit is fine. Its the $1.89 that needs to be completed with Moonpay, but there's no clear instructions on how to do it. 16:54 Isabella Actually, 1.89 requires you to fill in the small amount on MoonPay, but Metamask already shows it as completed. So don’t worry, your commission will definitely be transferred to your bank account. If it couldn’t be completed, MoonPay wouldn’t show it as completed 22:16 Isabella James, it's very late now. Please let me know tomorrow if your commission has been deposited into your bank account 22:17 I'm getting my son ready for bed. Good night ? 10 October 2025 18:59 Are you ready to earn commission on your own account today? 19:01 James yes. I still have figured out how to verify my card with Metamask, tho.

You can complete the luxury stay at half the original price Original price: 471.64 Event price: 235.82 19:20 James I'm not following.

I'm so happy for you 20:26 In reply to this message I know you don't have enough money. You give me a moment, I'm going to calculate the commission on the withdrawals when you're done! 20:28 Total Price for the Luxury stay: $1500 + 285 = 1,785 20:29 Photo 122×43 Total Amount: $1,785 + 1499.78 + 1,064.55= $4,349.33 20:29 Withdrawable Amount: $4,349.33x 19% = 826.37 $4,349.33 + 826.37= 5,175.7 20:30 So after completing this luxury stay, you can withdraw 5,175 20:30 James I understand, but quite honestly, I've never seen this work using MY money, and, as you can imagine, I'm very skeptical. 20:32 Isabella I understand how you feel. I felt the same way when I first became a member. My mentor explained the workflow during training, and I mention you yesterday during training that a deposit is required to get luxury stays. Of course, you can withdraw the funds once it's completed ???? 20:33 James and if this is a scam, i'm out $1750 20:34 Isabella If this were a scam, you wouldn't have received your commission yesterday. Plus, we withdrew our funds after completing two luxury stays yesterday, I'm sure you remember that too ?? 20:36 James I do remember that, but we were also playing with your money. There are SOOOO many scams out there taking people's money, and I've never heard of anything like this before, so I am very nervous about this. 20:37 Do you understand where I'm coming from? 20:40 Isabella I understand. No need to be nervous, we're making money right now. If we couldn’t get the money back, I wouldn’t have put down the deposit yesterday. Other members in the group are doing the same thing as us, if they get luxury stays, they also pay the deposit first, and then they can withdraw once it’s completed ?? 20:41 It's okay, you can think about it. If you're ready to withdraw 5100, let me know ???? 20:42 James can i withdraw before I do my next review? 20:45 or do I have to complete my 18 first 20:46 Isabella Nope, you can’t do that. We have to finish the work before we can withdraw. Even if you don’t get luxury stays, you still can’t take it out halfway 20:46 Just like during our training, once we complete two luxury stays, we can withdraw the funds 20:48 James what are we really doing here? are we doing some kind of bitcoin mining? I'm OK with that, but I'd like to know what the work really is. Or are we creating fake reviews to boost Airbnb listings? 20:51 Isabella I think you might have misunderstood, we’re not creating fake reviews. Every time we click submit, there are other department admins handling their part, so your department’s job is just to click submit. Also, we’re not investing in anything, it’s just a method of payment. Yesterday, after you received the ETH, I showed you how to sell it and transfer the money to your bank account 20:52 James Ok. Let's go 20:53 Isabella Okay open your MM and send me a screenshot 20:53 James 20:54 buy? 20:54 Isabella Yes 20:54 Buy > Buy 20:54 James how much 20:54 1500 20:54 Isabella Nono 20:54 Original price: 2,399.64 Event price: 1,199.82 20:55 1250 will do 20:55 James 20:55 Isabella In reply to this message yes 20:56 James 20:56 Isabella Use debit card 20:57 James not an option 20:57 revolut now?? 20:57 Isabella In reply to this message Back to here 20:57 You need to select a debit card here 20:58 Here need choose 20:58 debit card 20:59 Send me a screenshot, I check for you 20:59 James 20:59 Isabella 21:00 James 21:01 Isabella In reply to this message continue 21:01 James 21:02 Isabella 21:03 James again, now it's asking for a NEW app. this is getting shadier by the minute 21:03 Isabella Do you have Venmo? 21:03 James yes ?? 21:03 Isabella We can use Venmo 21:03 Okay 21:04 James 21:05 Isabella 21:09 James 21:10 i think i got it. ill try again ?? 21:10 Isabella Good!

Wait for me tomorrow so we can finish it together 22:09 James afternoon when i get back from the golf tournament 22:09 Isabella Sure! 22:09 James In reply to this message NOT TO WORRY!! ?? 22:09 Isabella Let me know when you're ready ?? 22:09 Good night James! 11 October 2025 14:55 Isabella Hey James! How’s it going with the tournament today? Hope everything’s going well! 12 October 2025 15:05 James Hi Bella. Everything was great yesterday. Ended up staying a lot long than planned and had some other stuff to do, so didn't have time to hop on. Checking to see if you are working today. 15:10 Isabella In reply to this message ???? 15:10 In reply to this message Hi James! I’m working today, some members can only do their reviews over the weekend. If you’re ready, we can continue with the steps from the other day. I’d also suggest downloading a new wallet, since it looks like Metamask might work for the purchase now 15:11 James what wallet would that be 15:12 Isabella Today we’re tackling the next steps, get ready to level up and learn some new stuff! ?? 15:13 Or you want try again? 15:13 Metamask 15:13 James we can try 15:14 Isabella Okay, open and send me a screenshot 15:15 James 15:15 Isabella Click here buy > buy 15:17 We try 300 first 15:17 debit card > moonpay 15:18 James can we put a pin here for a sec. I want to go back to the commission. I looked at it again, and it looks like, based on the math you sent & your comments, that when you get 2 luxury properties, then we get an additional 19% of our balance after that has been transaction has been completed. Am I understanding that correctly? 15:19 Isabella No problem, I'll explain it to you one more time 15:21 When you receive luxury stays, the total amount is calculated as: the price of the luxury stays + the negative balance in your account + the amount of your last withdrawal × 19%. In short, whenever you receive luxury stays, you earn 19% 15:22 Withdrawable Amount: $4,349.33x 19% = 826.37 $4,349.33 + 826.37= 5,175.7 4349 is the calculated total amount, and after x19%, that becomes the amount you withdraw 15:23 In reply to this message Correct 15:24 In reply to this message I just want to make sure you have a clearer understanding of how the calculation works ???? 15:26 James OK. Based on your calculations, here is what I'm understanding: Cost of luxury stay + 19%="A" A+recharge=B B+19%=C B+C=total commission 15:29 Isabella Cost of luxury stay = A 15:29 A+ recharge = B 15:29 James Cost of luxury = total value, correct? 15:30 Isabella In reply to this message 1500 + 285 = total amount 15:30 15:31 A+B Total Amount: $1,785 + 1499.78 + 1,064.55= $4,349.33 15:32 In reply to this message B + 19% = C 15:32 James Exactly. A+recharge+bank(aka balance) 15:32 Isabella In reply to this message B+C=total commission 15:35 A+ Negative account balance + The amount of the last withdrawal (1064.55) The recharge amount only covers the negative balance in the account, so each time I calculate, I add the account's negative balance to A 15:36 James Exactly what I am saying (I'm just using my own terms and adding up a little differently; same # at the end) ?? 15:36 Isabella This is the first withdraw amount ?? 15:36 In fact, everyone's calculation method will be different, but the final amount will be the same 15:38 So you understand, right? 15:40 James yes. just clarify; we have to withdraw ("direct deposit" as it were) it in 2 parts? "A" and then remainder of total commission 15:41 ...or is it "B" then remainder... ????? 15:42 Isabella In reply to this message No, once we complete this Luxury Stays project, you’ll be able to withdraw the entire amount in one go 15:43 James ah. OK. That's easier on my brain!!! ?? 15:46 back to metamask. buy>buy>$300. what's next 15:46 (I think I get the commission structure.) ?? 15:47 Isabella So basically, the amount you can withdraw is 5,000. The calculations for the other stages are just to make sure you understand how it all works, otherwise, it might seem confusing why you can withdraw 5k. When I guide members, I always take the time to explain everything and go through the amount carefully. I just want to make sure there’s no misunderstanding! It’s my responsibility as your mentor to keep everything clear and accurate ???? ?? 15:47 In reply to this message And use debit card > moonpay 15:50 James OK. I think it worked.... 15:50 ?? 15:50 Isabella Okay, same the way just now buy again 15:50 James same amount? 15:50 Isabella Yes 15:53 Isabella ?? 15:53 Again 15:54 James again what? 15:54 Isabella Try use Venmo 15:54 James failed 15:55 Isabella Okay, you can contact live support and send 'I want ETH recharge detail' 15:55 15:56 James deposit or other? 15:56 Isabella deposit 15:59 James 0x82F8a4F225bE232b02275079305f297BF730D281 15:59 Isabella 15:59 Click here 16:00 Isabella ?? 16:01 0x82F8a4F225bE232b02275079305f297BF730D281 16:01 0.06916 16:02 James 16:02 Isabella 16:03 0.06916 16:03 In reply to this message Fill in this number 16:03 James 16:03 Isabella In reply to this message confirm 16:04 James ?? 16:04 Isabella In reply to this message Send this receipt to live support ?? 16:05 James waiting on confirmation ?? 16:08 Isabella If you still can’t make the purchase later, I think it might just be the bank not allowing it. From my experience, the way I handled it before was to call the bank and let them know it was me making the transaction. Of course, they’ll warn you that it might look like fraudulent, especially since it’s your first time buying. But all you need to do is tell them that you’re personally making the crypto purchase and let them know you have a few years of investment experience. That’s just my personal experience, so if the purchase doesn’t go through later, just give them a call ? 16:08 James ?? 16:09 Isabella If you don't call them, we'll use other wallets to try 16:10 James not sure if i can call on a Sunday and get a live person. 16:11 Isabella Now click buy > buy 500 > debit card 16:11 In reply to this message We can try later 16:12 Then choose BANXA 16:16 James Banxa failed 16:16 Isabella Would you like to try another wallet or call the bank? 16:17 James lets see if i can do a chat 16:20 Isabella Sure, remember I mention you about my previous experience? We need to tell them we're self-operating crypto investments and have several years of experience, so they will let us through by purchasing. Of course, I tried contacting them three times before they finally let me make the purchase lol 16:22 James Chat is a limited AI bot. Can't get me answers/solutions to anything I ask for 16:23 Isabella I suggest you call the bank's customer service directly 16:26 James I don't think it's manned today, but I don't think I'll get a live body. 16:27 Isabella Alright, let's try other wallets first 16:27 James im trying quickly 16:29 Isabella No worries , when I guide members, I never expect them to rush through anything 16:29 James No one live. 16:29 sure we can try another one. ?? 16:30 Isabella https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.mona.android&hl=en&pli=1 16:30 After downloading and creating an account, please send me a screenshot 16:40 James 16:40 Isabella ?? 16:41 This wallet setup involves a few more steps, so I'll guide you through them one by one.
