Employment - Employment Scam

I was approached by a company claiming to be shoplazza. They claimed that you took 40 orders to review and leave feedback and then you are paid money according to how much the items were sold for. It seemed it was commission based at .05% of the purchase item. But then, if there was not enough money in your profit zone, you had to initially put up the money through crypto and you would receive a larger return. I did receive several hundred dollars the first few times. Then the amounts kept getting bigger that you had to pay until you could not complete your order. If you can’t complete your order, then you do not get your money back and the company will not let you choose a different product or order to complete. I have lost $4725. The company states until I complete the order of $7993 then I cannot get my return back. Now, they are claiming my return or profit if all is paid is $32,000. I recognized the scam too late. Please do not become a victim to this company.

Reporting on: 'Non-Payment of Wages' To Whom This May Concern, On Thursday June 26, 2025 I was hired for a Remote position as Quality Assurance Inspector by a company called Transit Vista LLC. The HR Manager who initially hired me is Kevin Williams. Further, I was promised a monthly salary of $3200 plus daily and other bonuses. First payment was guaranteed to be directly deposited and cleared this past Saturday, August 2, 2025. For the month of July, payment which includes all bonuses totalled $3378. As of this past Saturday, August 2, 2025 nothing has been sent or cleared into my checking account. Further, when I call the company number it rings a few times and then goes to voicemail. When I call my supervisor, Marc Jacob's number, it rings once and then I am prompted with "the number you are calling is busy. Please call back later". I've called and texted many times with no pick-up, and emailed a bunch with no reply. Phone Numbers and Email Addresses: - Supervisor: Marc Jacobs: 315-636-4148 / [email protected] - Main Company Line: 315-599-1990 - HR Manager: Kevin Williams: [email protected] Website: https://transitvista.com/about-us/ Company Address: 24 E 63rd St Suite 112, New York, NY 10065 Please if there is any way in which you can help me take action, and or direct me on who can help me, I would very much appreciate it.

I was contacted on TikTok by the name Alice asking if i wanted to earn extra money from home, do her that is depends on the work detail she if I has WhatApp i told her yes then she ask for what my WhatsApp number. She stated that her supervisor would contact me. I received a Tex message from Anna Michella stated that she received my contact information from Alice from Randstad stated that i expressed interest in a job opportunity is that correct I answer that is correct. Michella stated that the base salary was $5100.00 per month plus commission. She stated that Musixmatch is a world-leading music date company experience in high-quality date and tools, a platforms such as apple Music, Billboard and Spotify to promote their music content. She suggest to take the job training first it would take only 45 minutes per day and i would also receive a allowance of $70.00 to $200.00 I ask her if it would cost me out any out of pocket expenses she stated nope, so after the training i receives $150.00, The job I had to do was to do 80 alums per day which would be two 40 tasks X 2=80. First day went well made $350.00 so as a novice user i could only keep $50-100 in my wallet balance so I had to withdraw $300.00 in to my cash app or PayPal account so i used PayPal for the first withdraw everting went well I work the 2nd day and received my base pay of $100.00 and made about $550.00 withdraw $500.00 but we had problems using PayPal so we when to Cash App. The third day t stated my work and during my 1st task it went into the negative balance of $117.83 with a frozen balance of $320.35 with 68% of my task completed. So had to go in my cash app and buy BTC and transfer the $117.83 my work account so i had $800.00 in my account that I made from 2 days work so I did it. I started my second task but what she did not tell me was after each task i could made a withdraw so i went in the negative $351.41 which was ok because i made money still not costing me nothing. So before i can finish the task i went into the negative again this time it was -1688.62 with a frozen amount of $2640.56 so now I had to put up $1688.56 but it still had money that i made from my work so I only needed $1150.00 so i transfer that amount plus all the money i had left from what i made buy I was 78% completed my task so if you add the $1688.62 plus the frozen amount of $2640.56 that was a nice day of work so it 99% complete I got Lucky bonus of $87,520.77 and my profit amount was $11,990.81 at the same time i sent into the negative again in the amount $8881.52 so in order for me to get all this money i had to come up with the $8881.50. I that time then it became a scam to me.
