The following is myself and Tyler Reed, representing Motion plus, in a text conversation on Telegram: Tyler Reed: All the required documents have been received and verified Jo Ann We are now officially ready to offer you the job! Please check your inbox, you should have received an email from our company as well! The last step before you can begin your training period and start working - is to sign the contract from us and W9 form. Please log in to our platform again, review and sign these documents. Here is the link, just in case - https://reg.at-motion.com Let me know when you finish please and we’ll move to the next steps. Jo Ann Peterson, {7:43 AM} My social security number doesn’t print correctly (000-00-0000) When I type it. Tyler Reed, {7:45 AM} When you are signing the contract and W-9 form you just have to put your SSN and the signature. Once you download the signed documents in PDF, give it some time to load and all details will appear. Jo Ann Peterson, {8:00 AM} O>K> Done! Tyler Reed, {8:01 AM} Great!

They will introduce themselves and we will start your training. All communication will be on this working group chat only. Please address all your questions there. This is the easiest way to communicate because we all have our work to do and once we have a free moment we can discuss everything there.

Jo Ann Peterson, [Sep 28, 2023 at 7:23:52 AM]: Good morning Tyler. Quick question...Will I have to have a w-9 for both states?

Tyler Reed, [Sep 28, 2023 at 8:43:57 AM]: Jo Ann, just want to let you know that one of our managers is unavailable today due to family emergency so I will be guiding you ... through the training process myself. Jo Ann Peterson, {8:46 AM} ok!... Tyler Reed, [Sep 28, 2023 at 8:50:02 AM]: I’m going to create a working group chat here on Telegram at around 1 pm, I will then add you to this chat along with a couple of other business associates.

Jo Ann Peterson, [Sep 28, 2023 at 8:51:24 AM]: ok Tyler Reed, {8:51 AM} Perfect! Speak soon! (Then there is some stuff which seems to have been edited off.) Tyler Reed, {12:34 PM} Are you interested in moving forward? Jo Ann Peterson, {12:36 PM} yes, but I will not join coinbase and enter my banking info and screenshot it! Tyler Reed, {12:47 PM} And what's wrong with coinbase? We have not even got to that point yet. Jo Ann Peterson, {12:49 PM} I am not joining Coinbase! Tyler Reed, {12:52 PM} Coinbase is one of the platforms we use for work. If you are not comfortable using it for whatever reasons - then I guess this position will not be a good fit for you. Jo Ann Peterson, {12:53 PM} I don’t think you understand what I’m saying. I got to the part where they wanted my banking info and I won’t do that. Tyler Reed, (12:56 PM} Your banking info where? On Coinbase? Jo Ann Peterson, {12:57 PM} Yes. Once I made my account with them and confirmed it then they wanted payment information. Tyler Reed, {12:59 PM} Jo Ann, we were setting up the Gemini platform together, right? Did you receive any instructions from us to start setting up the Coinbase? Jo Ann Peterson, {1:01 PM} I’m sorry, I meant Gemini, not Coinbase. Gemini wanted my payment information. Tyler Reed, [Sep 28, 2023 at 1:06:40 PM]: Alright, so Gemini not Coinbase ?? You need to link any payment method there before we can see the wire transfer requisites, that's correct. It doesn't have to be your bank account, can be paypal or other options. You don't need to have money on that account, you don't have to pay for anything. it is just a requirement of the platform, so that at least one account is linked before the wire transfer requisites are visible Jo Ann Peterson, [Sep 28, 2023 at 1:08:33 PM]: No thanks. Not the right fit Tyler Reed, [Sep 28, 2023 at 1:10:42 PM]: In that case, your contract will be terminated today and all your personal information will be deleted by the system within the next 24 hours. Best of luck in your job search Jo Ann Peterson, [Sep 28, 2023 at 1:11:51 PM]: Thanks. Guess I’m elderly and paranoid. Tyler Reed, [Sep 28, 2023 at 1:12:39 PM]: We have over 80 employees in all the different states working the same way as you would have been, just so you know
