Type of a scam Employment
She furnished me with info that the company was called Eclincher and the job title was a data processor officer. It was an online, work-from-home job, with hours 9am-9pm EST. The job was said to pay a salary with potential up to $500/day ($50-$200, more likely) for work that could be completed in an hour, with the ability to make up to $10k/month. Emilia described the job this way, “This is a remote online job. Our job is to help APP developers promote APP data to gain popularity, exposure and APP downloads, so as to get better rankings on the APP store”.
The work could be done daily on their work platform by completing 2 groups of 35 tasks. As I inquired further, I did say that I was skeptical as there are many scams on the internet, but Emilia assured me this way, “Don’t worry. This is a legal job. The company complies with all legal procedures, government filings, and tax obligations…”
The Eclincher work platform: https://app.eclincherglobalinc.com/
To begin, I registered as an “employee” on this work platform. Emilia said that had to occur in order to be trained. I was now able to login with a username/password she provided to do the training, she walked me through the steps using screenshots to guide me. In the 35 tasks, I would go through a series of start and submit buttons for each task and “earn .05%” on each. Then, I received a “bonus 5%” that I was told would generate a larger commission.
However, after the bonus is submitted, you are thrown into an “insufficient balance” that must be overcome in order for the earnings to be added to your account. In the training, this happened once, and she said she would “top it off” (cover the insufficient balance) so I could proceed. She explained that she would have to take screenshots to submit to their customer service (+1-646-228-0039) and they would confirm receipt of funds, apply to the insufficient balance, and reset the system with your earnings which would be paid via CashApp. This was the set up phase.
In order to do this myself, I had to open a CashApp account that I could fund through my debit card, buy Bitcoin (BTC) and obtain the Bitcoin Wallet address from the Eclincher customer service to send the funds to when a reset was needed. On January 9, 2025, Emilia walked me through how to purchase BTC through Cashapp. I bought $30 BTC on CashApp, contacted customer service for the wallet address, then sent the $30 which CS verified, applied to the work portal, and after completing the 2 groups of 35 tasks, the $30 suddenly became $135.13. I was congratulated by Emilia, and then she walked me through how to send it back to CashApp through their web portal. The web portal had a “withdraw history” to see that it was processed on 1/9/25 at 20:27:58. Emilia said to wait 10-15 minutes for the BTC to arrive in my CashApp, then we would convert the BTC and route to my bank as cash. My online banking receipt shows $129.63 (a lesser amount I suspected was due to BTC volatility) on January 10, 2025. This was to gain my confidence that I could put my earnings directly into my bank account.
Because this came at me fast and furious, complex and cumbersome, the back and forth with Emilia to fund the account, work their tasks, etc., I have a lot of screenshots and still have the WhatsApp conversation with Emilia and Customer Service. If needed, these could be extracted. I have tried to record what I believe I lost, as follows:
$110 on 1/13/25
$107 on 1/14/25
$1,250 on 1/16/25
$2,000 on 1/17/25
$1,500 on 1/17/25
In total, I believe I lost $4,967.
On January 21, 2025, I spoke with the Middlefield Banking Company customer service by calling 1-888-801-1666, selected the fraud department, told the representative what happened, and she took the information to begin an investigation on their end. She supplied me with case number 45518844. I told her that I would speak with the police tomorrow.
On January 22, 2025, I went to the local police department in Ada, Ohio, to speak with an officer about what had happened. He said they have seen this before, but said there was little they could do. He said of all they knew of, nobody was able to recover their lost money. Following my visit with the police, I began documenting the details as best I could to share with State and Federal agencies, and other sources which may be able to help. Emilia claimed to reside in Toronto, Canada, after previously living in Los Angeles, California. For this reason, I am also supplying this information to Canadian authorities.
On January 23, 2025, I had my most recent conversation with Emilia via WhatsApp. She wrote to me at 1:37 p.m. EST, "Good afternoon, Dear. Are you busy these two days?". I replied, "Every day is busy. I'm picking up today what I didn't accomplish yesterday", and, "As for the job, consider me a part timer. I'm sure you have full timers that need your attention" as a delay tactic. The scammer does not know that I know it's a scam. I've bit the bait once, and she is waiting for more.
I appreciate your assistance with this matter.
