Description

I was tricked into a task scam where I was contacted to "work" for this company. It was explained that they needed employees to optimize applications (like apps on your phone) by utilizing cryptocurrency and basically clicking to optimize the app to which they paid you a portion of the optimization so each day you would withdraw the crypto that was put into the optimization and then you would get any percentage as a daily "bonus". It was explained to me that if I completed 2 sets of tasks ( 40 apps optimized each) for 5 consecutive days, I would be paid 800USD, 15 consecutive days would pay 1500USD, and 30 consecutive days would pay 3800 so the salary for one month (30 days) would be 800+100+3800=6100USD. You could actually complete 3 sets of optimization tasks in a day so the more you worked, the more you earned. All was well, I thought, until day 5 when I hit some larger commission tasks in a row. I was asked to put in my own cryptocurrency, and it was a large sum. So my "trainer" explained to me how to transfer from a crypto wallet, etc. However at one point somehow she was able to access my funds and wound up transferring up to $8000 from my bank account to my crypto wallet. After that, $14000 went "missing" and when I looked in Apptopia, it was there and they wanted me to add another $31000 in order to get the $22000 back. Which is when I immediately called my bank to report the fraud. However, since my money was authorized to transfer to a crypto wallet, my bank wasn't able to recover or cover any of the lost funds. These people should be prosecuted for fraud!! Any ideas as to how are welcomed.
