Description

Scammer claims to have found you through indeed, and offers you a job with the Sytner Group, a car company based out of the UK. They offer you an advertising job as a contractor and make you sign an NDA claiming “trade secrets” you can’t discuss publicly to keep you from talking about it. The process involves sending bitcoin to their digital platform which you get back at the end of the work day after completing tasks, as well as a commission you earn per task as well as a $900 base pay every 5 days. They also add you to a group chat where people who’ve “been doing this for months” show off their massive withdrawals from the platform every day(upwards of $30,000) to ease your mind about this too-good-to-be-true opportunity. The problem arrives when a certain type of bonus task(referred to as a AAA) shows up that always requires a larger deposit be made to the platform, which temporarily puts your account in the negatives until you essentially top up and can not be skipped. For the first four days these bonuses kept getting larger, but always require a larger deposit. On day 5, like clockwork, a AAA bonus arrives that is just so large you can’t possibly cover the difference, and your entire deposit is locked up in their platform and can’t be retrieved. I feel like a sucker, but the group chat really sold the scam. Why would over 40 accounts in a group chat all be fakes to scam one person? That just seems so unrealistic.
