Description
I participated in a remote work program that required writing product reviews. The program, operated by QuantAI Boost, assigns tasks based on the funds present in one’s account. On occasions where the cost of orders surpassed my account balance, I was prompted to add more funds. This scenario occurred thrice on June 21, 2024. After fulfilling the deposit and review requirements, I attempted to withdraw my earnings. However, the company insisted that, as I am purportedly located in the United States, I must pay merchant personal income tax for their tax documentation. The total amount due for withdrawal was approximately $48,000. They justified the request by stating that withdrawals exceeding $10,000 are subject to taxation due to regulatory flags. I chose not to comply with the additional payment request, suspecting the legitimacy of the scheme.
