Description

The initial contact was via text message. "Good afternoon, I just wanted to kindly ask if you'd still be open to remote work. This position includes training and is $800 for five days (monthly $6100). If you're interested, please let me know. I replied Yes. She said, "Okay, let me introduce you to this job. If you don't understand something, please feel free to ask me, I'll explain." Next text, We work for a company "Codeless". We help top companies improve their product visibility and rankings. This position is for a Remote Data Administrator, which is a flexible online role you can preform from anywhere. From there her conversation was scripted following almost verbatim the words listed by the previous victim. Exactly even down to the $71.00 shortfall in the first set. Then a bonus to make it over $101.00 USD. Allow she switched over to WhatsApp. I continued along being encouraged and directed by Anna all along. I struggled getting the Bitcoin transfer to work. She coached along the way until it finally worked. She invited me to join a chat group. https://chat.whatsapp.com/FYySVI9QUjxKWufTPol8ny I suspect this chat group is part of the scam to give the illusion that other people are having success and making money with this site. The third day, Wednesday, I hit a negative balance of 36.00 USDC/T. This required me to take money from my debit card and deposit into their Bitcoin account. A total of $42.00 to cover the shortfall and Bitcoin fees. I suspect this was a test to see if I'd put my own money in the system. I went along. I continued working the required 3 sets of products for Wednesday & Thursday. Anna coaching along the way. At the end of each day asking "Are you satisfied with your commission earnings for today?" I was encouraged not to withdraw the commissions because that would make the next day's commissions higher. I noticed as I went along the dollar value of the items kept increasing. Initial value of items was average $50. Then the average was $200. Friday, (day 5) they dropped the hammer. The value of items in the first set averaged about $500 to $600. The second set the average was over $1,000.00 value of items. Then I hit the "Joint Merchandise Order" which sent my "commission" total into a negative of $1,698.45 USDC/T. Anna assured me, "You only need to deposit 1698.45 USD, but don't worry, you are just temporarily paying this money, it is not a loss. After completing all the product orders, you can withdraw all the deposits and profits, which can b withdrawn approximately 4383 USD" She continued "This is a temporary use of the funds for approximately 20 minutes." Against my better judgement, I deposited $1.750.00 into their Bitcoin system via CashApp. As soon as I cleared the product which caused the shortfall, another product was added to the "Joint Merchandise Order" which caused another negative. This time they wanted $3,321.88. Again to clear the negative and continue processing product orders. I protested this development with a screenshot and told her, This is not going to work. Her response was "?????????", twice. followed by "What's going on?" (as if she didn't know.) At her request I sent a couple more screenshots. Her scripted answer, "From your screenshot, I see two frozen buttons and one button to be submitted. Based on my experience, you are facing the largest 3/3"Joint Merchandise Order" on the platform." She goes on to explain what this all means. "A 3/3 Joint Merchandise Order usually implies two negative balances. The 1689.45 USD you just deposited covered the first negative balance. Now you are facing the second negative balance of the 3/3 "Joint Merchandise Order, which is also the last one." I protested with "Don't think for a minute I'm going to deposit 3500.00 more into your system before drawing anything out." Her response was to explain "you could receive approximately 9176 USD. The 3/3 ... means your commission will increase by 20 to 30 times." I pointed out that half that 9176 is my money I would have put in. I asked for her supervisor, but she referred back to the "CS" which is the behind the scenes controller. An appeal to them resulted in the same stonewall tactics. Bottom line is this is a SCAM. Anna is just one of the scammers. Once they figure out you have some money to risk, their system will manipulate the numbers to get you to open your wallet. Remember the movie "The Sting" The same scam here in the real world. Let the buyer beware.
