Description

They've met with me to provide ability to make money with the initial investment of $500 which I thought could be a good opportunity since I am a student and need a part time job which this promised up to $10k a month [lesson learned]. Later they've stated that I need to send them another $500 because somehow the program now is $1000, which is when alert in my head came up that I am being scammed. I have attempted to cancel and was dragged around through days of waiting and different emails to contact which at the end of the day resulted into nothing. I believe others are being scammed and likely my age [i.e. young students], because the story resonates.
