Description

Seoc.top is the name of the "company”. SEO company helps businesses develop implement and manage SEO strategies to improve their online visibility in organic search. With greater online visibility, companies can earn more rankings traffic and sales from organic search traffic. Initially, I was contacted through Facebook messenger regarding weekend work - Saturday/Sunday $380-$480 per day, the only qualification was being fluent in basic English. A few days later I was contacted by her “Supervisor” on WhatsApp. Anna explained what SEO was- SEO is the optimization of a website to improve its friendliness to search engines. The job duty of seo is to make the website have more keywords to participate in the ranking and get traffic. With the increasing competition in various industries, more and more industries are expecting to utilize the Internet to increase the sales channels of their products and services. Our job is to help the merchants to increase both the sales of their products and the authenticity of their data, in order to attract more buyers. All we've got to do is click on the platform to submit orders, and each time we do, the system will generate real consumption data to improve the product review and star rating. Simply put, it's all about adding heat, hits and five-star reviews to each game, can you understand that? I had been searching for a work from home opportunity for sometime and her sales pitch was good! This is our basic salary and commission as you can see, we can make between $50 and $200 a day with this minimum amount of wage. As these daily “tasks/quests” progressed the more in the negative my balance became and the more money via crypto I would have to purchase to deposit into the SEO system to complete each daily task so I could recieve my withdrawal, what the trainer forgot to mention was the more money you deposited trough crypto the more tasks added to your daily expected quota, the more in the negative you would be. Making it impossible to reach withdrawal. So. As I started progressing with this it starts to really cost and cost. I explained that I couldn’t continue because it was breaking me financially but she kept telling me. Just one more task and you can withdraw. She didn’t mention that the more you invested to higher in rank the more tasks get populated for you. So finally I said stops at vip3. I need to recover some funds (I spent nearly $8,000.00 USD. This past week my last task I needed help so she deposited in my SEO account. Because she deposited it. My account is now flagged because there were two addresses depositing. So in order to recieve my withdrawal they are telling me I need to deposit an additional $3733.56 USD ($5067.55 CAD) in order to recieve my withdrawal… I have to pay to receive funds that were generated as an income via the SEO platform. The only means of “help” is a “customer service” chat which is very much robotic at times. No mater what solutions I’ve presented, I am told “No!” You must deposit an additional $3733 USD as a security in order for my withdrawal to be credited completed. I have since contacted MetaMask - the crypto currency platform where etherium was purchased and deposited to SEO. They advised me not to make anymore deposits and to contact my bank, which I since have.
