What happened
Victims complete small tasks, receive tiny payouts, then are asked to deposit more money for higher-value tasks.
How it works
Early payouts build trust before the platform blocks withdrawals or demands new fees.
Red flags
- You must pay to start work.
- Earnings look guaranteed before any contract.
- Recruiters avoid verifiable company channels.
What to do now
Verify the employer through official company channels and avoid jobs that require deposits or task credits.
What not to do
Do not borrow money or pay deposits to unlock work.
Evidence notes
- Keep advert links, payment requests, and recruiter handles after redaction.
