I got reached out by a whatsapp from "Anne from Belcan Recruitment Agency USA" (581-876-7772) asking if I was interested in a remote job. Suspicious I said yes and how did she get my contact. She said she "got my number from the USA Government database", and "We offer short and all day remote positions with a range of $100-$300. 25 years and above is all we require". I told her "I'm 22 years old. I don't qualify", then she said "Do you have a bank account where your salary can be sent through", I said I do, then she said the person in charge would contact me, and that was the end of that conversation. A few days later on 5/30/24 I receive messages from "Alyssa Parker" (+44 7449210155). I never get interviewed for the job, as soon as she messages me she goes straight into a training session, all in messages. I asked her if the training session would be a call, and she said "It's better here because I to provide you a training session". She explains the job's salary and commission rates, which were phrased in a very confusing manner. She sent me a website and gave me a code to register. I noticed the website operated with USDT, a crypto, so I asked her about what Ann had said about only needing a bank account, and Alyssa said "Here we don't use Bank, we use Digital wallets to receive our payments". I did a training session from her account, which was all about doing clicks, but said clicks were actually "simulated purchases for merchants to boost product visibility through simulated sales", and to "keep digital authenticity for sales". She then made an account where I would need a username, a password, a withdrawal password (to retire the funds) and a Ethereum address to receive the payments. I had to deposit 103 USDT into their website as an "activation" of my tasks (daily I was expected to do 3 sets of 45 tasks, that were about "just doing clicks"). I did see a profit, however everytime I was done with the tasks I was suposed to withdraw everything and deposit it back again into the platform, until I was done for the day. I kept it for about 4 days and then they told me about a bonus you can get for the more you deposit, and was encouraged through Alyssa to deposit 1000$. I was also told about "merged data packages" which are three products combined onto one, that are triple the price of what you have deposited into the platform; they're random, and once you get it you can't back away from it in any way. When you get them they put a negative balance onto your account and tell you you need to transfer enough to clear the balance, and that once you do you'll earn x6 of commission. Alyssa also invited me to a Whatsapp group where people would talk in uncannily robotic ways. People would talk constantly about merged data packages and everytime someone would have an issue clearing the balance, they would respond to that person telling them "how lucky they were to encounter it, since they're rare". On 6/3/24 I deposited 1000$ to activate my tasks and encountered 3 merged data packages, back to back. For one I had to deposit 1500 USDT, for the 2nd one 4000 USDT, and for the 3rd one it was 17000 USDT. Each time I got increasingly more nervous as I couldn't deposit the 3rd one. I was told to make an extension which is depositing 30% of the negative balance, which was 5300 USDT, and that if I didn't do it in that same day, I was told by their Customer Service that "Failure to complete the tasks assigned by the merchant in time will cause losses to the merchant. Failure to complete the merchant's allocation of goods will result in the merchant being unable to allocate the goods to other users to optimize ratings. The merchant will take legal action against the user and recover X3 of the total value of the goods!". At that moment I was terrified because not only did they tell me I couldn't retrieve all the funds I had already deposited during that set of tasks, but I was expected to deposit more and they wouldn't take an 'I don't have the money" for an answer. They needed me to deposit them the extension (5300$) daily until I cleared the negative balance, and failure to do so would get the merchant to take legal action against me. I felt really threatened, since I couldn't make that payment and no matter what they wouldn't be accomodating to me at all. I realize now they were just pressuring me to give them money, since they also wouldn't let me talk directly with the merchant either. I somehow negotiated with them to give them less than the 5300$ (about 3800$), and that next day I'd pay them more. Next day, as I was more clear headed, I cut contact with them.
