Description
I was "recruited" for a data optimization part time job via what's app (supposedly for Kayak, the travel company). The first day of 5 days of anticipated training went well and I was able to "earn" about 100$. The next day, I encountered a "premium order" which required me to deposit money in cryptocurrency to be able to finish my task and then withdraw my earnings as on the previous day. I did trust the process in the beginning and alas, "premium orders" kept popping up. I pulled the break after having invested 3,750 CAD and having been told I needed to deposit another roughly 6,000 CAD to be able to access my earnings for the day. I was never told that investments in that amount were possible and given the round-around since then. A supposed supervisor told me to either pay up or my money would be lost. I was clearly scammed.
