Description

i was contacted via text message by a person claiming to be “Annie Corbin” from Nexxen offering me a part-time, remote job that would take 20-30min for training and i could start making money the same day. first i was instructed to make a training account on a fake website with a join code and then i was told to “optimize” product engagement using AI, all i did was press two buttons. long story short, i did a whole bunch of things to go along, they had me add $18 to my cashapp and we are now on the buying of bitcoin step. my “account” on the fake work webpage is in the negative and needs $18 or so to “top it off” to keep working, they sent me screenshots of reviews from fake people claiming that it was a necessary and trustworthy step, one of the reviews was from a “Nina Patesh” for cryin out loud. you would think they’d at least be clever with it. but i assume now that they’ve had me add $18 to my CashApp that they’re going to have me buy bitcoin and try and “deposit” the 18 bucks into my account using the crypto wallet address that they are going to send me through WhatsApp. they have three “Customer Service” numbers linked to WhatsApp. apparently when you work for them you still contact “Customer Service” for support lol. i can explain the whole thing in more detail if its important but its so long, this was over like two days cuz i was tired of keeping up with them so i kept delaying. they asked for screenshots of everything but i made sure to keep crucial personal info hidden, this is more of a report and mockery than it is a cry for help or pity. ive seen too many scam videos and stories to fall for whats obvious, it was kinda fun while it lasted, but i aint buyin bitcoin so this is the end.
