The scammer approached me for online job and during process. I had to complete task by adding money or cryptocurrency in order to finalize and get paid. When I realized, I was already at $800 blocked because I didn’t want to add anything. And from the so called salary included it should have been $1.846 frozen in the account.

Recently, I applied for a community job and had an interview. During the interview, I realized I had met the gentleman before. The first time I met him, he was kind of standoffish and funny style. I can’t really explain it, but it was odd. Usually, I don’t judge people, and once again, I didn’t judge. He interviewed me via zoom. Initially, he responded to my comments, but later, he stopped responding. I understand people are busy and may not always respond promptly. In the interview, he asked me about the project he’s building and mentioned he wanted to do a survey. No problem, I thought. I could tap into my community and network to figure out what’s needed for the survey. Then he asked me a trick question?—?or at least, that’s how I felt. He asked if I could get people for the survey. I didn’t understand the reason for just getting people when I’m not hired because anyone who knows about social media, leads, or community building knows it’s not a one-time activation. It involves building a product, resources, and a funnel system to identify needs and place people accordingly. When he asked me that, I wasn’t sure if it was a trick question. Our first conversation was on Monday, and we were supposed to touch base again on Wednesday. By Wednesday, I had gotten 25 people for the survey, although he claimed only 14 people had participated. I knew this wasn’t true because I walked 25 people through the survey. This was a test with no incentives, just to see if I could do it. In the second interview, he was hyped about the number of people I got for the survey. We were supposed to meet on Friday to discuss contract details since he technically did not want to hire me, which was fine. However, on Friday, things changed. Instead of a regular interview, he started probing me for information. When I identified this, I stopped the conversation and stopped giving him information that I felt he should be paying me for. Then I realized that none of the things he said were true. He questioned whether his company would work or not, and I started thinking, “What am I doing here?”

Strange number texted me offering a remote job, which i have been searching for lately, to review apps and get paid commisions and base salary working consecutive days. Once the balance in my account was negative, they said i had to pay it for the amount to rollover and make the money that was being withheld. The amount went way too negative to the point where i could not pay it back or retrieve my money back.

I thought this was a job that I was going to get paid hourly. They told me that I was going to be making 2,000-3,000 dollars extra a month. But when I signed up they did not explain to me that I was also signing up for a loan. I thought that it was a regular contract that I was signing. But they left the details out of the loan.

This company hired me for a remote work from home position. They told me they we're going to set me up with a home mini office. They fedexed me a check for startup business and told me to deposit it into my bank and it should clear in 24 hours. And then I would be given instructions how to order my office supplies from their vendors. My FedEx package was due to arrive at 11:00 a.m. this morning via FedEx. It was the check for my startup office equipment. But FedEx intercepted the package and took it back to the closest FedEx office. I still haven't been told what the issue was.

Ellie from phone number contacted me via text message. The phone number used by Ellie was: 650 440 6159. I was made a job offer with no interview and told HR would contact me.

I looked up area code 650 to find out the State that Ellie may be from. 650 is the area code for Counties in California

HR was Anna, sending me a whatsapp message from 510 901 2284, Anna said the job was for me to open an account on DrakeTech and then she would train me on clicks I would have to do every day

and be paid between $60- $160 per hour. The training never happened - just a lot of back and forth messages. I did talk to her on the phone. I finally blocked the number. I asked to

get a letter of employment. I was told no letter of employment would be given. Which is most odd. I also could not find a DrakeTech.com website - and did not look in the .org or .net domain.
