- Katy, TX, USA • May 23, 2024

The scammer Ava (supposedly a 23 y.o. female student from Tokyo, Japan, studying in Los Angeles, CA), contacted me on WhatsApp about a job. To work, I had to establish a user ID on their "work" website weareblend.org/#/pages/main/main, which I did. Incidentally, to "legitimize" their business, they were repeatedly referring to the following website: https://weareblend.la/about/ - which may be the website of a different company - which I didn't think about at the time. The "job" consists of performing minimum 2, maximum 3 sets of tasks each day (including weekends), each set of tasks consisting of 40 tasks. To start any set of 40 tasks, one has to transfer a minimum of $100 to the site. Then one is assigned a "random" task, which supposedly consists of optimizing a randomly assigned online app from a customer company. 40 such tasks are done (basically by initiating a start/run button) in each set of tasks. Normally, each task creates a little profit, usually less than $1, so after 40 tasks one may make a profit of something like $5 - $10. Double that for 2 sets of tasks, the minimum required for one day. After a set of 40 tasks, one is supposed to withdraw all the invested money (minimum $100) and the little profit made, so a total amount of $110-$120, before again inputting a fresh $100 to continue "work" and make commission for a new set of 40 tasks.

The catch comes if you "randomly" encounter a "combination task". This type of task contains a combination of 2 or 3 tasks, that have to be completed consecutively. In my case, the first task required me to input $342, because that was the negative dollar amount showing up for the combination task at first - and one has to make sure to pay enough to make it at least zero (non-negative). No one had told me about the combination tasks before I started the "job", but I was ensured I would get the money back plus the usual commission, once I paid the $342. Under some doubt I paid in the $342, and immediately my next task came up under my "combination task", with a negative $811 amount. The same statement was given to me, that I now had to add $811 to make the total non-negative, and then I would be guaranteed to get back all my money plus commission. It took me obviously longer than the first time to decide to do so, but I decided to take the chance and not lose what I had paid in already. However, I did encounter (very unusually so, I was told) a third task under the combination task, demanding me to pay another $2000 to get all my money back and commission in the next round. Moreover, I was now guaranteed no more money requests to be made under the current set of 40 tasks - as I was now guaranteed there was no chance of any more combination tasks occurring within the current set of 40 tasks. I also asked Ava, since now I was suspecting this whole thing to be a scam, to contribute $1000 out of the $2000 required to balance the account to zero. She was immediately willing to do so, and then I took the chance myself to pay another $1000 to achieve the zero net, after she had contributed $1000.

So I continued to complete the task of 40 in this set. I was then expecting like before, that I could withdraw all my "investments" plus commission - and the net amount on the site was showing exactly that, the amount was now zero after the site acted like I had withdrawn my money.

However, the money never arrived on my external wallet. I contacted the customer service (cs, who had explained me everything before, and guaranteed my money back after each step), and the cs now told me that since I had waited 2-3 days to complete the set of 40 tasks, my credit score was now less than 100, which was necessary to withdraw money. Rather the score was 90, and in order to raise it to the necessary 100, I had to pay another $685 (20% of the withdrawal amount) to be able to get my money back. It took me a couple of days to decide to do this, but I felt I had no option than to try after all this. After all, I had "invested" $2200 in this already. So, I added the $685, notified cs I did, and cs responded they would verify when my last $685 was registered as paid, let me know, and transfer to me.

This is the last I heard both from cs and from Ava. Another "catch" I didn't mention yet, is that this "job" also contained a "basic salary" paid out of $800 after five work days (with 2 sets of tasks minimum performed each day), another $1500 for 15 days of work, and finally $3800 for 30 days of continuous work - if it all happened within a calendar month. This way a possible basic salary of $6100 could be made, in addition to the above mentioned commission.

However, after I paid the "penalty" of $685 to raise my credit score to 100, I heard nothing more from any of the involved parties. What's more, the next day my user ID was shut down on their website. So, what they did was just take my money (non-traceable bitcoin) and leave me hanging with a loss of almost $2900.

Best regards,
