Introduction
On May 13, 2025, I was contacted via text message by an individual named Judy, who claimed to represent a company called SSENSE. She offered me a work-from-home opportunity that involved reviewing online orders for commission-based earnings. As a parent seeking additional income to purchase a wheelchair-accessible van for my 10-year-old son with disabilities, I was intrigued. However, what initially appeared to be a legitimate job opportunity turned into a sophisticated scam that extorted approximately $10,000 from me through deceptive practices, undisclosed conditions, and manipulative tactics. Below is a detailed account of the events.
Initial Contact and Job Description (May 13, 2025)
Judy’s text message introduced SSENSE as a company offering remote work involving product reviews. She explained that the job required writing five-star reviews with brief blurbs for online orders, similar to Amazon reviews. She emphasized that giving five-star reviews was critical but did not clarify the consequences of failing to do so. Judy directed me to a WhatsApp contact named “Training” (possibly named Emily) for further details.
“Training” provided financial details, explaining that I could earn commissions of 0.7% per order value, complete up to 90 orders per day (four days per week), and receive “salaries” after completing sets of 30 orders. To begin, I needed to deposit $100 in Ethereum cryptocurrency into a “workbench” account, which was supposedly fully withdrawable after completing 30 orders. “Training” also mentioned “rewarded deposit” bonuses, where depositing higher amounts into the workbench would yield additional percentage-based rewards (see attached image for breakdown). The opportunity seemed promising, and “Training” reassured me of its legitimacy despite my initial skepticism.
Test Run and First Deposit (May 13, 2025)
On May 13, “Training” guided me through a test run of 30 orders. The process involved reviewing orders and submitting five
-star reviews with short descriptions. Upon completion, “Training” praised my speed and claimed I earned her a significant sum (approximately $XX.XX, though I don’t recall the exact amount). This success, combined with the simplicity of the work, convinced me to proceed. “Training” instructed me to purchase $100 in Ethereum, contact their “Customer Service” for a deposit address, and transfer the funds to activate my workbench. I completed these steps and began reviewing orders independently.
Early Success and Financial Mechanics (May 14, 2025)
On May 14, I completed my first set of 30 orders and received a $50 “salary” plus 0.7% commissions per order. I successfully withdrew funds to my PayPal account without issues, which reinforced my trust in the system. “Training” explained that after each set of 30 orders, I needed to withdraw all funds, redeposit them via Ethereum, and request Customer Service to “reset” my orders. She also noted that higher workbench balances would yield larger commissions and deposit bonuses. Encouraged by my early success, I withdrew and redeposited my funds as instructed.
Escalation with “Lucky Orders” (May 14–15, 2025)
As my workbench balance grew, I began receiving “Lucky Orders,” which were high-value orders with substantial commissions. For example, one order valued at $9,690 offered a $2,435.22 commission (see attached). However, “Training” failed to disclose that if my workbench balance was insufficient to cover the order’s value, I would need to deposit additional funds to complete the review. Moreover, I could not withdraw any funds until completing the full set of 30 orders, including these “Lucky Orders.”
“Training” assured me that “Lucky Orders” were “extremely rare.” However, I received three such orders within two days:
First Lucky Order (May 14): Required a $509 deposit to complete. I paid this, assuming it was a one-time occurrence.
Second Lucky Order (May 15): Required a $1,700 deposit during my final set of 30 orders. I paid this, expecting to finish and withdraw my funds.
Third Lucky Order (May 15): Required a $4,300 deposit for an order worth over $9,000. Reluctantly, I paid this amount, hoping to complete the orders and recover my investment, as withdrawals had previously been seamless.
Fraudulent “Four-Star Review” Penalty (May 16, 2025)
After paying $4,300 for the third “Lucky Order,” I attempted to withdraw my funds, intending to end my involvement. However, Customer Service claimed I had mistakenly submitted a four-star review for one order, which violated their terms. They demanded a $4,437 deposit to “repair” the order before I could withdraw any funds. I was skeptical, as I had been meticulous with reviews, but I worried about losing my $6,000+ investment.
Over the weekend, I communicated extensively with “Training” via WhatsApp. She insisted the issue was legitimate and that paying the $4,437 would allow immediate withdrawal. I also contacted Customer Service, explicitly asking if any other conditions could prevent withdrawal. They repeatedly assured me that the $4,437 payment was the final requirement. On May 19, 2025, I paid $4,514 (slightly higher due to fees or exchange rates) to “repair” the order.
Final Extortion Attempt: “Credit Score” Scam (May 19, 2025)
After paying the $4,514, I again attempted to withdraw my funds. Customer Service then claimed my account’s “Credit Score” had dropped from 100 to 80 due to the four-star review. They stated that I could only withdraw funds by restoring my score to 100, which required purchasing 20 credits at $500 each—totaling $10,000. This “Credit Score” system was never mentioned in any prior communication, and no terms outlined penalties for four-star reviews or credit restoration costs.
At this point, I recognized the scam. “Training”’s behavior further raised suspicions: on Friday, she claimed to have only $900, but on Monday, she offered to “loan” me over $5,000 plus interest, suggesting she had access to significant funds. Every representative deflected blame, asking, “Why did you mess up the order?” or promising immediate withdrawals after additional payments.
Financial and Emotional Impact
I invested approximately $10,000, including $100 (initial deposit), $509, $1,700, $4,300 (Lucky Orders), and $4,514 (four-star penalty). These funds were critical for my family, particularly for my son’s wheelchair-accessible van. The experience left me feeling ashamed, manipulated, and extorted, as the scammers exploited my trust and financial vulnerability.
Evidence and Conclusion
I have attached screenshots of the “rewarded deposit” structure, “salary” details, and “Lucky Order” commissions, as well as WhatsApp conversations with “Training” and Customer Service correspondence. The scam operated by luring me with small, legitimate-seeming payouts, then imposing undisclosed fees and penalties to trap me in a cycle of deposits. The “Lucky Orders,” four-star review penalty, and “Credit Score” requirements were deliberate tactics to extort additional funds. I urge immediate investigation into SSENSE and its representatives to prevent further victimization.
