Description

I was contacted by global HR Netwerk through WhatsApp after applying for some online work through a TikTok ad probably 6 to 8 months ago I was offered a training program which was said to be free of charge I was given funds earned by commission that were transferred into an account on a website called far fetch This was to be a freelance job as a data booster processing orders through their online site I was told at no time that there would be a cost associated with earning the quoted salary plus commission They set your funds up as working capital and then they throw a few orders at you were that are higher than the balance in that account They didn’t tell you in order to complete the work you are required to deposit the negative amount from your own bank account through different digital accounts because their site operates on USDT Unfortunately, I did not see the red flags until I had already deposited approximately $1500 to cover. These negative balance is in order to work through the five day program and collect the salary at the end. On the fifth day, they deposit that salary into work and capital on the website immediately that that happens orders large enough to wipe out any balance or thrown at your account They tell you that this is computer generated, and cannot be cancelled In order to complete and get any kind of money deposited back, they now are requiring a further $1600 to complete the final days what they call tasks All attempts to try to rectify. The problem were met with pleas to borrow money from friends and family to cover the balance
