Description
I was contacted by a recruiter named Maria. She offered me a remote job with daily, weekly and monthly payouts based on performance. She also offered training to help me get up to speed with their website ("workbench"). Maria guided me through how to deposit crypto into the workbench in order to get started with optimizing product purchases of some kind. With each task, you would earn a small percentage commission, and as you progress with your tasks, you encounter bonus tasks that require you to deposit more funds into your workbench account. When the completed sets of tasks are completed, you supposedly can withdraw all your funds, which seem to work fine initially until you're balance on the workbench, reaches a few hundred dollars and then you have issues withdrawing your funds. In order to resolve the issues on your account the Customer service representative (via WhatsApp) required you to deposit more funds into your account. From there, it's basically impossible to withdraw any funds and they keep having excuses of why you cannot withdraw funds from your account.
