Description
I was recruited to review items that are being sold on amazon, the idea is to promote the star rating to help increase the likely hood of someone wanting to purchase the item. As part of that work of reviewing 45 items, you are paid a commission between 4% to 10% depending on the VIP level you are classified. You are initially given 45 items in training so you can build a reserve of cash. Once you have $51 in cash, then you are asked to review 3 sets of 45 items, like you are actually purchasing them with your reserved money, once the review is complete, then you are given the commission. However, there happens to be these reviews called COMBO orders, which is two or more items being purchased, and if you DO NOT have enough reserve cash in you account, then you are asked to deposit money into the platform through a round about way by moving money from you credit card or bank, into a Digital wallet (Crypto.com, Coinbase, Cashapp, etc). Once you have moved the appropriate amount of money into crypto, you send work with the Customer Service to get the crypto deposited into your account on the platform and finish the review and you get a commission. The problem is you are not allowed to withdraw that money until you complete the reviews for all 45 items. What happens is that since you have accumulated commission your account grows, and thus the item you end up reviewing also goes up in value anywhere between 30 - 300%, so if you can't remove you commission, and you happen to get a combo order at 300% you are back at the point of putting yet more money into the platform. I went from putting in $65 -> $830 -> $3650 -> $10,730 (I did not put this in). In one set of 45 items I was given 3 combos, this is where the scam come in, because the last combo was when I had two items to review and one again said I was out of funds and needed to deposit another 10,730. This is where I said scam....... I have only been doing these reviews for 3 days, a grand total of 6 sets of 45 and they already got about 4000 from me. These reviews are false and fraudulent.
