Description

I began working with them two weeks ago after being referred through a platform called Success Match. From there, I was introduced to a mentor named Lydia (phone number: 07840448502), who claimed to have two years of experience in the industry. The role I was assigned involved boosting app sales by providing five-star reviews and pre-written comments. As a novice, I was tasked with completing 38 reviews daily, for which I was promised commissions. Occasionally, I was given something referred to as a "parcel order," which supposedly offered up to ten times the normal commission. On the next page it asks what country I am in. To confirm I am in the UK but the company that runs the scam runs in NY, Kansis City, and Toronto In order to continue with these evaluations, I was required to top up my account using my own funds, with the promise that I could redeem my money once the evaluations were completed. Payments were only accepted through Remitly, Transfer Go, or Western Union, after receiving the merchant details directly from AdParlor. After investing nearly £10,000 of my own money, I attempted to withdraw my earnings. However, I was informed that I had exceeded the withdrawal limit and was required to pay an additional £4,500 to upgrade my account before being allowed to access my funds. In addition, I was told that I would need to complete another five evaluations, which might include more "parcel orders," leaving me unsure of when this cycle would end. I have collected extensive evidence, including hundreds of screenshots, to support my claim. I am deeply concerned that this is a large-scale scam, targeting individuals and exploiting them for significant financial gain. I implore you to investigate this matter thoroughly, as many others could be affected. Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue. Please let me know if further information or documentation is needed to assist with the investigation.
