All you need to do is pay $101 to get started. You get commissions and then they have this 2-3 random combinations in a set of optimization tasks. Tell them you don't have money and reply is always: "Hello, please don't worry that all your funds are in your personal platform account. Just complete 40/40 to withdraw all funds." This worked for about 3 days.

Go to complain and they keep saying: " We cannot handle it for you if the task is not complete. During the optimization process, data will generate fees, and the task cannot be canceled or skipped. Once the system task is completed, the system will return the funds and income, and then you can withdraw the funds and income from the account. Please follow the process to process your order." Three times I've been told this and will not give money back. They just want more money..

I am on Indeed looking for a job and I applied for a remote proofreading position. I received an email saying I was chosen for an interview and when I participated in it, it was done via chat on Microsoft Teams. I was also sent an offer letter via email, but no one ever spoke to me in person. I believe they were trying to get me to purchase expensive computers, printers, etc to work from home, and then they would "reimburse me."

Hello, i am writing you to report a fraudulent website, Neareco.com. I was contacted through a "soliciter" on WhatsApp about this way you can make money, by just "clicking" They convinced me to put $200 into their system. i finished the 40 "clicks" and they payed me $320... it seems like a great way to make money doing nothing.. right?

I just need to transfer USDC from Crypto.com to their HASH, and they fund my account (with my money)

I continued this process about 5 times, each time the dollar amount i would invest, would get higher.

You will hit a "combination" that will pay you 5% commission, instead of .05%. they are combined with 2-3 jobs.

Once i put $580 in, hoping i could get out of this, making alot of money. I hit a combo... i had to put in $2,300....

I hit another combo.. $7,500..

im praying i can finished the 40 jobs... be done... and close out. im at 39/40 right now. and i hit ANOTHER COMBO... and they want $15,000.00... I am chatting with bots through an app that is registered out of The Netherlands. they have phone numbers, but they are all VOIP numbers. (like google voice)

i got shafted. i tried to negotiate with them. they will not remove the combination.

They want to drain my checking account. they want $980, to turn into me paying $25,000+ There is no way to ensure i will get paid out. it is simply a money laundering scheme.

I have contacted BSO, but they are slow to communicate. I want this to be communicated to homeowners around the country, because an unknown person like me may fall into this poison of "hoping you can just pay, to get out"

i want my $10,000+ back, so i can move on and live my life.

Maybe if you advertise this, it will make BSO, or the FBI become aware of this, so we can prosecute.

Grandson responded to a job offer in Utah coming from indeed from A AFFAIRS LLC and was sent a check from Banc of CALIFORNIA dated April 8th 2024 for the amount of $5,450.00 for items needed for working at home. Example - laptop - printer - etc. and they have called him numerous times asking if he has cashed the check yet? We have not cashed check due to something fishy about this and I have also read complaints about this company on your website. So heads up to whatever this scam is about if people cash these checks etc.

they offered a job, looking like a legitimate job offer with website and multiple location address. I doubted it when they asked me to join telegram for communication. So, I checked the location they listed on google maps and also tried calling them on all the communication channel. I couldnt get any answer. I asked the next day to the person named Lucy Quartarone, pretending to be HR manager. She simply blocked me.
