I was contacted through WhatsApp by Emilia Claire on January 5, 2025 and asked if I'd be interested in a part time job with Eclincher. The pay sounded very attractive. Work 2 hours a day, make $800 for 5 consecutive days, plus commission, $6100 for the month plus commission. I did the training and it was easy. To actually start you have to add $110 in your account in crypto. This seemed odd to me but they showed me how to do it. Seemed suspicious, I told her it doesn’t seem like a real job. I’ll pass. (I so wish I would have stuck with this decision!) She said she reacted as I did in the beginning. She showed me a certificate for Eclincher and said she has been working there over a year, would not do anything illegal. She supports her Mom and child. Some how she regained my trust and reeled me back in. The work consisted of optimizing 2 sets of 35/35 apps. You get paid for hitting the submit button. It's easy. When a combo package comes up you make more commission, they call it lucky. They did pay the $800 on day 5. The first combo package I got put my account in the negative $1600! I was told I have to add the negative $ amount to keep going and that these packages are rare for newcomers. I protested but didn't want to loose the $800 + $800. (I so wish I had bailed out at this point, but I wanted the job.) I was furious but she again reeled me back in. Emilia guided me in buying crypto and we transferred it in my account. She was very persuasive but not pushy. She knew how to keep me engaged. I received more combo packages net was $4000, then $11000 then $18,000. I was furious with each negative amount. She said I could only get 3 and could cash out. Then it was 3 for each set of 35/35. Again I got 4, she said it was a triple app combo. With all the combo apps I got I ended up putting in around $37,000! Finally I made it to the end with her help of $20,500 - 35/35. She guided me to withdraw the funds. We waited extra long, 2 hours+. They said they were still reviewing the account. Then Customer Service DENIED withdrawal. We were accused of money laundering. She was supposed to register and let CS know she was putting funds in my account. So now in order to extract the funds we needed to add $39,000 to my account! I was FURIOUS!! We would it get all back upon extraction. I told them to take it out of my account, but they said that wasn’t possible. She added $10,000 more to my account. I could not, would not cover the rest. Now I was broke! I told her she should pay it, it was her error. She said she has no money and I was rude and ungrateful and that she had helped me a lot. At that point she said I had no conscience and was disgusting. Now it was very clear that this was a scam and I was never going to get paid or my money back. They require $5000 a week to keep the account active. After a week of inactivity my account was frozen. Today, April 14, 2025 I was told the merchant will sue me if I don't come up with the funds. I told them to take it out of my account. They said it's not possible. My only recourse is to expose them. I filed an in person local police report in Los Angeles, CA. They said it's very unlikely I will recover any funds from them. I also filed a FTC (Federal Trade Commission) Fraud Report, Trustpilot and BBB. This has been a 3 month long painful journey of giving thousands of $$$ away hoping and was promised a big payday as long as I did the task and finished the task. I DID! I made it through the last large combo app package!! They kept changing the rules!! She lied every step of the way! This is a sophisticated, well thought out SCAM!! I’m telling my story so others don’t have to have the painful, extremely EXPENSIVE experience that I did. I was devastated emotionally and financially by this! I’m still healing and shining a light on them as part of my healing process.
