Description
They posted job ads on TikTok. Clicking the link led to a job posting where I was asked to register a work account and deposit cryptocurrency into their platform to upgrade to VIP status, which they claimed would allow me to earn money. Initially, I did earn some money. But later I upgraded to a premium VIP account and withdrew $15,000 of my salary from that account. They claimed it would take 48 to 96 hours for the payment to arrive. But now a week has passed, and my salary still hasn't arrived. When I inquired, they gave me no response. They removed me from the work group. It's a complete scam.
