Description

I received an SMS regarding recruitment to watch movies online and requested to contact them through What's App on 5/25/2024. They need 100 people over the age of 20 to work as movie evaluators. It will only require you to work for 1 hour a day, there is no time limit and can organize your time as wish. They're giving a free 30-minute training session. At the end of the training, will be paid between $50 and $200 and will be paid at least $200 to &700 per day easily over $8000 per month. I contacted them via Whats App +17472440823 and went through the training and got paid in ETH for $50. They even teach you how to transfer money from your bank account to Coinbase, Metamask then to like-imdb. com. There are 3 sets of tasks of 30. I hit a combo of combo that required me to recharge my account to $20000. I sent the ETH with the value of $20000 and I hit another combo for my final set at task number 29/30. This time they required me to top an additional $17058 to complete the 30/30 final task before getting my money back. Coincidently it was the weekend of 07/06/2024 and I was traveling and I had no access to the bank for the whole week. The customer service +16476604659 texted me on 07/08/2024 to complete the task and extended the period to 07/16/2024. The recruiter and customer service threaten to sue me if I do not complete the task. I realized I got scammed because there was no way I should be putting more money into viewing movies. They insisted that I will get my money back once I complete the task. They listed their company email [email protected] and when you want to talk to the customer services located in Canada, he or she quoted "She is using computer."
