Description
Got a text about an online job. I replied and was put in touch with a trainer on Telegram. The job was to post ads online. We posted 3 ads with $200 of their money after which I had made about $80 which was in my work account on their platform. The trainer walked me through withdrawing the money as BTC into my cash app. I then uploaded the $80 plus $25 of my own, because the minimum ad placement was $98. The first ad I got the next day had a minimum of $181. I refused to deposit the extra and the trainer sent the $81 to me. After that day, I had $150 and moved it to my Cash App. Instead of cashing out ahead, I sent it back to my work account. The next ad required $400 which I didn't have. The trainer offered to put up half the difference between what I had and the requirement, but I said i wouldn't put in any more money. The trainer said goodbye.
