Description
Received a text message from the phone number provided saying that they were Natasha O'Cal from LRO Group - staffing agency regarding a part time job opportunity. They told me that i would be contacted by the HR department via Whatsapp. I was contact by a female named Lina phone number +1 (506) 268-3310 regarding training etc. She then asked me to follow screenshots as steps to start this "job". Followed the steps and created an account on the zabodigital site. She walked me through completion of tasks and advised me that i would be able to cash out after depositing $11 which i did. Completed the tasks and was able to withdraw about $78. I was told i could complete up to 3 sets of tasks per day and make lots of money doing so but she failed to tell me that i would need to continue putting my own money into this in large sums. By Monday, february 5th i was hit with a "multiplier" where i needed to submit $2,000 and was reassured that i wouldnt get another multiplier. I was then hit with another multiplier where i needed to give another $4000 + and then got hit again for $8,000+. I put the money in believing them thinking that i would get my money out however, they then said i would need to deposit $11,000 to get the rest of my money out. When i told them i could not do that customer service threatened me that my Canadian residency would be affected and that the merchant would come for me!! They then asked for my address to ship me the items after 90 days if i do not send the extra $11,000+. I did not provide my address and reported to the Canadian Anti Fraud centre
