I was approached via Whatsapp to do data entry work on a platform - Booyah Advertising. It turned out you had to have a certain amount of credit on the platform to keep working. The training account provided you with the money to start your own account which was fine. However, once you started working on your own account the amounts needed started increasing rapidly. The rewards covered it, so it still went ok. The money was transferred in and out of the platform via a crypto account. You had to get a new crypto wallet address every time from the platform customer service in order to deposit money into the platform. Then once you did the deposit and sent proof of payment, theh loaded the credit onto your profile on the platform. I got into trouble when the super orders started. These were highly valued items that required you to put your own money into the platform in order to clear them so that you could continue with your work for the day and get paid your salary and commission. Idea was that any money you put into the platform you could take out again at the end of your set of 40 orders. My situation got difficult when I just did not have the money to keep putting into the platform to clear the super orders. There were 5 in a set of 40 and I managed to do 39. My understanding was that there could ever only be 3 super orders in a set of 40 but I was then referred to the Ts and Cs of the platform which says 1 order can be part of 3. So, I got 2 super orders and then a 3rd one which had 2 parts. I could not finish the set of 40. I had already put a large amount into the platform and could not continue. Also, that last order could a be a super order and then I would have to find even more money to clear that. I just couldn't do it. I explained my situation to my manager and customer service, they could not help me. Their only solution was that I try and borrow the money in order to get my money out. They kept reassuring me that whatever I put into the platform I would be able to withdraw in the end. I was not prepared to borrow money and had started to suspect this was a scam. We were at a stalemate; they would not help me and I could not proceed. So, I decided to take ir as a loss and a hard lesson and move on. Over the next few weeks, I was approached a few times by my manager and customer service to complete the order. My manager even offered to lend me $500 to help but that was not anywhere near the $ 5800 I needed to clear the super order. I just ignored them. Then this week customer service approached me with a solution. They had discussed my situation with the merchant and had negotiated that if I put in $ 1000 the merchant would cover the rest and I could clear the order, complete the last 1 order and get my money out. They even guaranteed that the final order was not a super order. I was given a chance to think about it and a wallet address that was valid for 4 hours. After 3 hours I deposited the money and sent proof of payment, only to be told that wallet address had changed so they could not credit my profile. I needed to contact the Crypto customer service and get them to reverse my withdrawal. Of course, they could not do it because the transaction was successful, and they referred me back to the platform. The platform says they cannot track the payment because they don't know who that wallet belongs to. So, there is no way to recover the money. Twice later in the evening they approached me with deals first for $500 and then for $300 that I should deposit and they would help me with the rest of the money. This followed a pattern of continuous baiting and encouragement ‐ I now realize that I was being very carefully groomed and pulled along.

Applied for a job via LinkedIn. Received an invitation to an interview from Michael Rueb of Booyah Advertising. A real employee of the real company Booyah Advertising. Was interviewed via Wire Messaging app, I was told this is what their company used. Provided an image of front and back of a state issued drivers license as proof of identity via email. Received a job offer within 24 hours for Remote Work in UX/UI. As asked to send an undisclosed amount of money via the Wire Messaging app to cover work equipment, phone ect. Got suspicious. Having previously confirmed Booyah Advertising was an a real company based in Denver. I looked up Michael Rueb on their employee page and called him directly to confirm employment. Mike Rueb, as he was listed, informed me that he was not a hiring manager, that this wasn't the first time he had heard of his name being used in this fashion and that I should contact [email protected] to confirm any offer of employment. Emailed [email protected], have not heard back at the time of this report. But all signs point to my being successfully scammed out of personal information and thankfully not out of bank information. I am currently in the process of reporting this breach to my state DOL in order to replace, if needed, my driver's license and have reached out to the big 3 credit bureaus in order to put a fraud alert on my credit. And will be monitoring my credit closely for the foreseeable future.
