Description

I was recruited for an online “task” job and later moved to Telegram, where people using the names “Beth” and “Tracy” communicated with me about the work. They directed me to hjexaeop.com, where I was told to deposit money and complete cryptocurrency-related tasks/orders. I initially received small payments, which made the operation appear legitimate, but I was later required to send increasingly larger amounts to continue completing bundled orders and was told my money would be returned afterward. I ultimately lost approximately $800. I used Cash App to purchase Bitcoin and sent it to a Lightning address provided by the scammers. When I could no longer provide additional money, I was unable to recover the funds and was told I needed to complete additional steps to receive a refund code. I have screenshots of the website, Telegram messages with Beth and Tracy, payment information, and other records documenting the transactions and communications.
