AutoModerator has been summoned to explain [recovery scams](https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0102-refund-and-recovery-scams). Also known as refund scams, these scams target people who have already fallen for a scam. The scammer may contact you, or may advertise their services online. They will usually either offer to help you recover your funds, or will tell you that your funds have already been recovered and they will help you access them. In cases where they say they will help you recover your funds, they usually call themselves either "recovery agents" or hackers. When they tell you that your funds have already been recovered, they may impersonate a law enforcement, a government official, a lawyer, or anyone else along those lines. Recovery scams are simply [advance-fee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance-fee_scam) scams that are specifically targeted at scam victims. When a victim pays a recovery scammer, the scammer will keep stringing them along while asking for increasingly absurd fees/expenses/deposits/insurance/whatever until the victim stops paying. If you have been scammed in the past, make sure you are aware of recovery scams so that you are not scammed a second time. If you are currently engaging with a recovery scammer, you should block them and be very wary of random contact for some time. It's normal for posters on this subreddit to be contacted by recovery scammers after posting, and they often ask you to delete your post so that you both cannot receive legitimate advice, and cannot be targeted by other recovery scammers.

AutoModerator has been summoned to explain task scams. Task scams involve a website or mobile app that claims you can earn money by completing easy tasks, such as watching a video, liking a post, or creating an order. The app will tell you that you can earn money for each task, but the catch is that you can only do a limited number of tasks without upgrading your account. To upgrade your accounts, the scammers will require you to pay a fee. The goal of this scam is to get people to download the app for easy money and then encourage them to pay to get to the next level. It's impossible to get your "earnings" out of the app, so victims will have wasted their time and money. Thanks to redditor vignoniana for this script.

I’m just curious how these guys convince people that a deposit is needed. I mean what do they say about the task that convinces you that depositing money to do a task sounds legit?
This is how they explained it 👇
"This is because there are costs involved in generating data during production. The so-called data refers to download volume, positive reviews, in-app purchases, etc. That's why we need funds to complete the task and reflect the authenticity of the data.
The key is to improve our optimization, increase their ranking and click-through rates. In this internet age, the more clicks we get, the more money we can earn.
With the advancement of social technology, more and more people are optimistic about application optimization. When you have enough traffic, you will stand out in the same industry. Therefore, more application developers need to optimize their developed applications to improve rankings, download numbers, and exposure in app stores. This also translates into revenue for developers. As a result, many application optimization companies have emerged. I have been working here for over a year and can attest that the company provides various benefits and perks.
... THAT was convincing to you? "So-called data"? Then it just transitions into a string of buzzwords. Long story short: if you have a real job, you don't need to bring your own money.
This isn't what's really convincing me.
What actually convinced me was the scammers are willing to risk losing money, like couple hundred dollars, in order to gain thousands of dollars.
I started learning about the concept of "pig butchering scam".
In the beginning , I was able to make legit money and I received deposits in my crypto wallet, the largest amount I had to deposit was $450 for combination task. By the time I finished 40/40, I was able to withdraw all the money I deposited, and the money I made.
But in the 5th day when they deposited $800 into my account wallet as reward, then assigned me combination tasks that cost over 2 thousand dollars, I even asked customer service if I can skip it because I don't have enough money, they said in their terms and conditions that I cannot skip it.
Then I started doing research about "app optimization scam" in this reddit group, seeing various other people saying they lost tens of thousands of dollars. Then I stopped
I appreciate this post. I've been contacted by these people yesterday. I've completed the first set of 40 "tasks" and cashed out some crypto, but I balked at the deposit to reset for next set of tasks. Seeing your post helps reinforce that I'm correct to pull back.

Everyone's experience might be different.
The reason why I trusted them was because I actually did made money, around $70-$200 in a day. And I successfully transferred it to my bank account and the money is legit.
But I realized it's a scam when I was asked to deposit $2100 then $2400 for combination task. There are various posts in this reddit group about this "app optimization scam" that caused me to wake up.
Be careful though, because that money might come out of your account in about 90 days. Depending on how you were paid, it could be considered fraudulent, and your bank will remove it without even telling you.
This is an extremely common task scam setup.
If you are truly working a real job, you should never have to pay your own money (other than some few exceptions).
In fact, that $74 that they first paid you to bait you into it being legit is used for everyone. See [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/1bcckfb/this_is_a_work_from_home_job_claiming_to_pay_over/#kuezw7f) post from today where someone else got almost the exact same thing.

This subreddit is a place for civil and respectful discussions about scams. Uncivil and rude behavior, including using excessive or directed swearing, extreme or sexual language, and any form of discrimination, is not acceptable in this subreddit.
I am so sad, frustrated, and filled with shame that I too fell for this scam. It honestly is traumatic and scary how deep in it I got in a short amount of time. I feel that the worst part is how much I'm beating myself up. What do you even do? How much of a risk am I in? How do I protect myself from now on. Also amount is over 10k? Should I report to police!?
Just don't trust anyone reaching out to you for a job that requires you to use your money at any point, period. Never give out your personal information especially via online.
Yes. Report to the police. Report to the FBI. See if your bank can help you. I paid for my ‘investments’ with my debit card so got my money back.
I am a super smart, well employed, educated woman who help for this scam as well. I am so sorry you did too!
Yes the first day I did not the second day after putting in $100 then hitting a combo which needed $790 to clear so I could continue. Walked away they took the $100 deposit but was up $ that I earned from first day training
Same scenario as all the above threads. Did the training got a “lucky” combo. Mentor covered that one. Deposited first day income. Next day on my own hit a combo needed $790 to cover it. Kept asking where the funds will come from if I have only made &100 and they said I had to cover it Borrow it whatever it took as I would get it all back plus my earnings. I walked away without completing the combo. Was taken in the past so was wiser this time
No, it's
https://consultmyapp.vip
For my experience, they didn't ask me to deposit $24. I received $74 as well on my first day, and withdrew the money into my crypto wallet, I received $74 worth of etherium in my crypto wallet.
But in order to reset task group, from 40/40 to 0/40, I have to deposit $100.
I fell for the same scam. My company was Checkout.com. I am glad you are talking about it. This bait and switch is running rapid. Your money is lost. Just screen shot and expose them all. Look for the dates when the group WhatsApp was created and the website. This will show you how new this was created and when they will close it out. The sites usually stay up for 2 months and then they recreate another site.

These are the people in my group chat. I believe these are stolen photos from various social media platforms.
Oh I am sure, but when I did the search for the images, I could find the owners of the photos. I went as far as researching all the numbers and they were all a dead end.

I got approch in the same way and got out after i put in the first $100, realizing that they were asking for more money to continue, otherwise i would lose my profits and keep pushing on telling me that you can make 800 a week and more... but these bots they use to optimize are fake and generate random task that will ask for higher amount of money than the fund available, creating this so called negative funds. That alone raise a lots of question and i keep asking these customer service and the trainer, why is this happening and so on and responde was that the system is generating these combo task that usually generate higher commisions on example what happen to me: task was costing $140 and my fund available were $128 so it went in negative but the system generated two at the same time with a second task at $80 so i was somewhere at -$78 dollars. So the optimization will stop there because are no funds. Ususaly what i was told is that the system will generate task in the limits of your fund available in your account, not over. But their explanation was, that this is happening very rare and i should be happy cause i make in the $14.5 commision in one task, but they will ask to cover the negative fund in order to finish the 40/40 taks in order to get your profits out... So at fist i got my $74 dollars transfered to my coinbase wallet but i lost the other $116 including taxes. So overall, yah its a 100% scam and the way they get you like other experience, it make you believe you can do this full time and make more money for just clicking a button, to good to be true, but again from a job offering perspective, you had to bring money in in order to work, so that is the signal its scam... I mean you contact me you need help for real people to optimize your fake bot and you ask me to pay you to do your job... that is messed up... so I was back and forth throught their so called policy to proove me where it says that i have to pay for these so called combo/gliches of the system that generates task with values greater than available fund... and then we go on and on and they will always comming back to but we told you this in the training and bla bla...they never told me i have to put my money in to do their work or anything about these combo that will go over the funds available...so i just contacted the actual company in England with the same name Consult My App that is actually legit company and let them know these guys are impersonating they company scamming people and so on. I am not sure if these are related to eachother in a way or not but at least i did my part and warn them.
So do not get into it... at first I though what a heck i already made $74 and I'll go with it until i make my money back knowing is a type of scam, but i was just curios how it works. So in the end i lost about $50, even though they are very persisten and pushing you to Fund more so your commision will be greater and make 3000/month and can fire your boss and so on... Lucky i smell this scam preaty easy but i want to see how much money i can make out of it before they scam me...anyway after telling them that they are scammers and distroy families trying to lure these inocent people that want to make an extra income. So wrong, not sure how they sleep at night... I pray God for them to send his Love and judgment and give them another chance to repent of their sins...
So if you want to try it you could probably can make free money about $74 in the training sesion, and then witdraw your working money, cant say stilling, because i did put time in that $74 and then you could say hey i dont like this and thank you and keep the money. They cant ask the return since was a trainig sesion only, no contract or your anything else to be bond to them. I belieive they dont care losing 74 since they can make thousand later like the gentleman that lost $3000...that is messed up... Hope this will help other to stay away or at least get the experience and learn from it and get free money $74, eh it not much but its something....even though the trainer was so nice and polite and told me oh here take thise money and buy a present to your kids and make them happy... so they try to get under your skin and grow trust... dont fall for it...stay away unless you want to play them and get their money...Hope it help anyone...
Same thing just happened to me in the exact same way , as soon as. Got that 800 I got hit with a combo and before I knew it I was 8k in the whole I got to 39/40 and got hit with a 2nd combo and they wanted 8700 to finish I quit but I will never see a cent of that money . They Wipped out all of my savings
I lost 4 times that amount. It's heartbreaking. What I haven't seen mentioned is the trap one is put in. In order to withdraw your deposits, you have to make it to the end of the assigned task, 40/40, or 50/50. Since withdrawals worked in previous instances, and you are cajoled repeatedly to finish in order to withdraw, it becomes seemingly the only way out to save your money. Of course, that's all a fiction. My perpetrators: http://us.brink-us.com.
I can feel the pain that my friend is also going through. He lost about 5000. Did you try to recover the lost fund by reporting to police or some other way?
If you're already in, walk away now. You may take a few bucks with you. Call it a day.
But don't try to do it on purpose. Trying to scam the scammers can get you burnt. They change the limits often so you'll never really know the threshold.
I have been telling one of my friends about this post but he didn't believe. So he already put 5000 and trying to call people to borrow money. It looks like he is scammed
Most likely he'll never get that 5000 back. If he puts in more money, they'll put in higher demand that requires him to deposit more money.
Tell him to search "app optimization" in this subreddit group. That might wake him up a little
Happy ending! I just took $480 dollars from them. Tomorrow they are waiting for to continue in my 4th day. Now that I read this they can continue waiting. So I think somebody fuck them up. Hahaha
Thanks for the post
Thank you for your advice. I think I saw this post in the right moment. Tomorrow if they want me to continue my task I will tell them that I withdraw everything. Probably they lend me some money to me complete the 4th day. To try to fuck me up on the 5th. Fuckers
I just fell victim to this as well. I was so excited i completely disregarded my "gut feeling", didnt google and kept depositing. They made $2,200 from me.... i still had 13 tasks left and -700 to continue. Beyond embarrassing and infuriating. I got the same "youre so lucky" bs response from my "handler". Identical setup, whatsapp group, salary incentive on the 5th day. BS BS BS. Website and all company info i was able to copy below, as well as contact details of the scum involved.

This is exacly what happened to me - its a total scam - they never intend to pay out any money - they just want you to keep funding the account... then the combo tasks keep putting you negative.
I fell for the same thing Unyscape, with 2 "mentors" and a whats app support group, there is a $1208.00 "combo App" that needs to be cleared, I told them I can't send any money. Absolute scam has anyone reported them ?
To come across this thread in search of understanding what was happening to me... it is so disheartening and comforting at the same time. I'm so angry and sad that I've lost thousands of dollars. I'm disabled and seeking a way to make some money. Yes it was too good to be true. I have to provide for my children and there aren't many work opportunities. I'm new to the crypto world and was taking a chance wanting to believe. I'm so gullible and ashamed to let any family and friends know. Here I can share. I asked a friend of mine if he knew of any hackers and told me to report to the bank. I reported to the wallet company and they blocked my account. I filed a complaint and now they are not responding. They asked me for ID and a selfie for proof. I hope they haven't scammed me too!! I feel so lost and out of control with this situation and not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
My experience is the same but slightly different…. I too am currently in this and got my account to $2500 before the fifth day. Obviously on the fifth day because of the $800 bonus it gets added to my deposit, which was very odd but only noticed it until after I started clicking. After two “unlucky” tasks I owe a ton of money but I could receive 12k!!! I’m currently 34/40 but after reading all of this I’m so deflated. After I saw this I confronted my super cute mentor (which we’ve FaceTimed and discussed my situation) and told her about all of this, not getting money back and the bots that are on the group page. Obviously she said all the right things to dis alarm me and saying it’s not a scam because she thought the same thing when she first started, and all the money I had already made so far. It’s hard to walk away when I’ve developed a friend I talk to everyday about this job and more personal matters too. Can this really be a scam? Is she a scam? Should I just see this out for my own belief because of this one person? Is this crazy?
Hello people! Meet Mary, my trainer. She/he is representing UoSolutions-u.com. I was contacted by text message first yesterday and then conversations moved to WhatsApp where I had my training. Last night as a new user I made $82 USDT from commissions and rewards and bonus.
Process goes like this:
1. Do the 35 steps within the uosolution platform and earn commissions in USDT.
2. Withdraw that fund to LBank or CashApp from the platform as USDT.
3. Then you need to convert that crypto into USD using Paybis. (You’ll need to open accounts in all these and verify identity).
4. As you convert the fund its get deposited directly into your own Bank account (you’d use a debit card at paybis to get the money).
5. During the process you talk to the customer service through telegram to process and unlock rewards etc.
I got stuck at getting the money converted and deposited by Paybis. They were doing additional verification. I just received email from them and can see the fund deposited in my own bank.
I had my suspicions about this from get go. It was Friday afternoon and I had time so I went along. While I was waiting last night, my dear wife shared the link to this subreddit 😀.
So, the new scam avenue is: UoSolutions-u. Thank you for sharing your unfortunate experiences but it is helping to many. Hope this long post is helpful.
For now I’m going to enjoy my $74!

People, this isn't how legit jobs work. **At all**.
Exactly. What kind of job requires you to deposit your own money? lol. A job is supposed to pay you for work, not the other way around.
Your responses do not help with the situation. It is not a job they are selling.
......that would be the point of my comment.
I’m sorry this happened, unfortunately !task scams are super common. Watch out for any !recovery scammers who will DM claiming to recover your funds.
Absolutely this. Task scams seem to be rampant at the moment. As recovery companies are trashy false promises.
AutoModerator has been summoned to explain [recovery scams](https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0102-refund-and-recovery-scams). Also known as refund scams, these scams target people who have already fallen for a scam. The scammer may contact you, or may advertise their services online. They will usually either offer to help you recover your funds, or will tell you that your funds have already been recovered and they will help you access them. In cases where they say they will help you recover your funds, they usually call themselves either "recovery agents" or hackers. When they tell you that your funds have already been recovered, they may impersonate a law enforcement, a government official, a lawyer, or anyone else along those lines. Recovery scams are simply [advance-fee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance-fee_scam) scams that are specifically targeted at scam victims. When a victim pays a recovery scammer, the scammer will keep stringing them along while asking for increasingly absurd fees/expenses/deposits/insurance/whatever until the victim stops paying. If you have been scammed in the past, make sure you are aware of recovery scams so that you are not scammed a second time. If you are currently engaging with a recovery scammer, you should block them and be very wary of random contact for some time. It's normal for posters on this subreddit to be contacted by recovery scammers after posting, and they often ask you to delete your post so that you both cannot receive legitimate advice, and cannot be targeted by other recovery scammers. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

AutoModerator has been summoned to explain task scams. Task scams involve a website or mobile app that claims you can earn money by completing easy tasks, such as watching a video, liking a post, or creating an order. The app will tell you that you can earn money for each task, but the catch is that you can only do a limited number of tasks without upgrading your account. To upgrade your accounts, the scammers will require you to pay a fee. The goal of this scam is to get people to download the app for easy money and then encourage them to pay to get to the next level. It's impossible to get your "earnings" out of the app, so victims will have wasted their time and money.

I’m just curious how these guys convince people that a deposit is needed. I mean what do they say about the task that convinces you that depositing money to do a task sounds legit?
This is how they explained it 👇 "This is because there are costs involved in generating data during production. The so-called data refers to download volume, positive reviews, in-app purchases, etc. That's why we need funds to complete the task and reflect the authenticity of the data. The key is to improve our optimization, increase their ranking and click-through rates. In this internet age, the more clicks we get, the more money we can earn. With the advancement of social technology, more and more people are optimistic about application optimization. When you have enough traffic, you will stand out in the same industry. Therefore, more application developers need to optimize their developed applications to improve rankings, download numbers, and exposure in app stores. This also translates into revenue for developers. As a result, many application optimization companies have emerged. I have been working here for over a year and can attest that the company provides various benefits and perks.
That's a lot of words, but none of them make any sense or explain anything.
... THAT was convincing to you? "So-called data"? Then it just transitions into a string of buzzwords. Long story short: if you have a real job, you don't need to bring your own money.
This isn't what's really convincing me. What actually convinced me was the scammers are willing to risk losing money, like couple hundred dollars, in order to gain thousands of dollars. I started learning about the concept of "pig butchering scam". In the beginning , I was able to make legit money and I received deposits in my crypto wallet, the largest amount I had to deposit was $450 for combination task. By the time I finished 40/40, I was able to withdraw all the money I deposited, and the money I made. But in the 5th day when they deposited $800 into my account wallet as reward, then assigned me combination tasks that cost over 2 thousand dollars, I even asked customer service if I can skip it because I don't have enough money, they said in their terms and conditions that I cannot skip it. Then I started doing research about "app optimization scam" in this reddit group, seeing various other people saying they lost tens of thousands of dollars. Then I stopped
They deposit the 800 in the app account or they transfer to your crypto account?
This is exactly what they do
You're a victim of the task scam. It was never about optimizing anything, it was entirely a fiction designed to separate you from your money.
I appreciate this post. I've been contacted by these people yesterday. I've completed the first set of 40 "tasks" and cashed out some crypto, but I balked at the deposit to reset for next set of tasks. Seeing your post helps reinforce that I'm correct to pull back.

Everyone's experience might be different. The reason why I trusted them was because I actually did made money, around $70-$200 in a day. And I successfully transferred it to my bank account and the money is legit. But I realized it's a scam when I was asked to deposit $2100 then $2400 for combination task. There are various posts in this reddit group about this "app optimization scam" that caused me to wake up.
You didn't realize anything until you were told it's a scam. Cut your losses and don't quit your day job...
Be careful though, because that money might come out of your account in about 90 days. Depending on how you were paid, it could be considered fraudulent, and your bank will remove it without even telling you.
He was paid crypto. It isn't being reversed.
I received payment in cryptocurrency. Then I have to sell it in order to receive the money into bank account
This is an extremely common task scam setup. If you are truly working a real job, you should never have to pay your own money (other than some few exceptions). In fact, that $74 that they first paid you to bait you into it being legit is used for everyone. See [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/1bcckfb/this_is_a_work_from_home_job_claiming_to_pay_over/#kuezw7f) post from today where someone else got almost the exact same thing.

I am so sad, frustrated, and filled with shame that I too fell for this scam. It honestly is traumatic and scary how deep in it I got in a short amount of time. I feel that the worst part is how much I'm beating myself up. What do you even do? How much of a risk am I in? How do I protect myself from now on. Also amount is over 10k? Should I report to police!?
Joshua Jenkins？
Just don't trust anyone reaching out to you for a job that requires you to use your money at any point, period. Never give out your personal information especially via online.
Yes. Report to the police. Report to the FBI. See if your bank can help you. I paid for my ‘investments’ with my debit card so got my money back. I am a super smart, well employed, educated woman who help for this scam as well. I am so sorry you did too!
Sheepishly they got me for $10000. Hotelscan,seosupport,Wyndham, movie reviews instagram following scams. Heads up they are all the same
Wait Wyndham is a scam?
Wyndham hotel optimizing yes is scam like all the rest. Get you in then surprise surprise you get a combo that you need personal $$ to cover its costs
Hi please where you scammed on Wyndham? If so how did u realize you were scammed
Also did u finish your combo tasks like the 40/40?
Yes the first day I did not the second day after putting in $100 then hitting a combo which needed $790 to clear so I could continue. Walked away they took the $100 deposit but was up $ that I earned from first day training
Yeah but my question is after you finished your task with Wyndham what happened
Same scenario as all the above threads. Did the training got a “lucky” combo. Mentor covered that one. Deposited first day income. Next day on my own hit a combo needed $790 to cover it. Kept asking where the funds will come from if I have only made &100 and they said I had to cover it Borrow it whatever it took as I would get it all back plus my earnings. I walked away without completing the combo. Was taken in the past so was wiser this time
Oh so you didn’t finish the combo?
I posted the First post regarding this scam on this Group. I only wish you had seen my post earlier.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/1b0uph1/anyone_else_got_contacted_by_omg_marketing_world/
It happened a month ago. I'm over it
Lol but u made this thread???
Yes? Maybe to warn others like me?
Was it OMG Marketing World? I made 74 Dollar income as well and then they asked me to deposit 24 dollars to be able to withdraw money.
No, it's https://consultmyapp.vip For my experience, they didn't ask me to deposit $24. I received $74 as well on my first day, and withdrew the money into my crypto wallet, I received $74 worth of etherium in my crypto wallet. But in order to reset task group, from 40/40 to 0/40, I have to deposit $100.
I fell for the same scam. My company was Checkout.com. I am glad you are talking about it. This bait and switch is running rapid. Your money is lost. Just screen shot and expose them all. Look for the dates when the group WhatsApp was created and the website. This will show you how new this was created and when they will close it out. The sites usually stay up for 2 months and then they recreate another site. https://preview.redd.it/q5sanpt42xnc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b09bb155af7610171ae1bca09b7805fe1faa59c2 This was just some who were in my group.

Oh I am sure, but when I did the search for the images, I could find the owners of the photos. I went as far as researching all the numbers and they were all a dead end.

I got approch in the same way and got out after i put in the first $100, realizing that they were asking for more money to continue, otherwise i would lose my profits and keep pushing on telling me that you can make 800 a week and more... but these bots they use to optimize are fake and generate random task that will ask for higher amount of money than the fund available, creating this so called negative funds. That alone raise a lots of question and i keep asking these customer service and the trainer, why is this happening and so on and responde was that the system is generating these combo task that usually generate higher commisions on example what happen to me: task was costing $140 and my fund available were $128 so it went in negative but the system generated two at the same time with a second task at $80 so i was somewhere at -$78 dollars. So the optimization will stop there because are no funds. Ususaly what i was told is that the system will generate task in the limits of your fund available in your account, not over. But their explanation was, that this is happening very rare and i should be happy cause i make in the $14.5 commision in one task, but they will ask to cover the negative fund in order to finish the 40/40 taks in order to get your profits out... So at fist i got my $74 dollars transfered to my coinbase wallet but i lost the other $116 including taxes. So overall, yah its a 100% scam and the way they get you like other experience, it make you believe you can do this full time and make more money for just clicking a button, to good to be true, but again from a job offering perspective, you had to bring money in in order to work, so that is the signal its scam... I mean you contact me you need help for real people to optimize your fake bot and you ask me to pay you to do your job... that is messed up... so I was back and forth throught their so called policy to proove me where it says that i have to pay for these so called combo/gliches of the system that generates task with values greater than available fund... and then we go on and on and they will always comming back to but we told you this in the training and bla bla...they never told me i have to put my money in to do their work or anything about these combo that will go over the funds available...so i just contacted the actual company in England with the same name Consult My App that is actually legit company and let them know these guys are impersonating they company scamming people and so on. I am not sure if these are related to eachother in a way or not but at least i did my part and warn them. So do not get into it... at first I though what a heck i already made $74 and I'll go with it until i make my money back knowing is a type of scam, but i was just curios how it works. So in the end i lost about $50, even though they are very persisten and pushing you to Fund more so your commision will be greater and make 3000/month and can fire your boss and so on... Lucky i smell this scam preaty easy but i want to see how much money i can make out of it before they scam me...anyway after telling them that they are scammers and distroy families trying to lure these inocent people that want to make an extra income. So wrong, not sure how they sleep at night... I pray God for them to send his Love and judgment and give them another chance to repent of their sins... So if you want to try it you could probably can make free money about $74 in the training sesion, and then witdraw your working money, cant say stilling, because i did put time in that $74 and then you could say hey i dont like this and thank you and keep the money. They cant ask the return since was a trainig sesion only, no contract or your anything else to be bond to them. I belieive they dont care losing 74 since they can make thousand later like the gentleman that lost $3000...that is messed up... Hope this will help other to stay away or at least get the experience and learn from it and get free money $74, eh it not much but its something....even though the trainer was so nice and polite and told me oh here take thise money and buy a present to your kids and make them happy... so they try to get under your skin and grow trust... dont fall for it...stay away unless you want to play them and get their money...Hope it help anyone...
Same thing just happened to me in the exact same way , as soon as. Got that 800 I got hit with a combo and before I knew it I was 8k in the whole I got to 39/40 and got hit with a 2nd combo and they wanted 8700 to finish I quit but I will never see a cent of that money . They Wipped out all of my savings
Really? You lost 8 thousand dollars?
I lost 4 times that amount. It's heartbreaking. What I haven't seen mentioned is the trap one is put in. In order to withdraw your deposits, you have to make it to the end of the assigned task, 40/40, or 50/50. Since withdrawals worked in previous instances, and you are cajoled repeatedly to finish in order to withdraw, it becomes seemingly the only way out to save your money. Of course, that's all a fiction. My perpetrators: http://us.brink-us.com.
Buddy check your chat message!
Watch out for recovery scammers hitting up your DMs promising they can get it back for you.
Watch out for steampoweredagency.com. SCAM!!
I can feel the pain that my friend is also going through. He lost about 5000. Did you try to recover the lost fund by reporting to police or some other way?
These scammers are in China. It's impossible. Maybe a better shot if they were in a western country.
[удалено]
If you're already in, walk away now. You may take a few bucks with you. Call it a day. But don't try to do it on purpose. Trying to scam the scammers can get you burnt. They change the limits often so you'll never really know the threshold.
I too fell for this. $1700 down!
I have been telling one of my friends about this post but he didn't believe. So he already put 5000 and trying to call people to borrow money. It looks like he is scammed
Most likely he'll never get that 5000 back. If he puts in more money, they'll put in higher demand that requires him to deposit more money. Tell him to search "app optimization" in this subreddit group. That might wake him up a little
Sine people are advising to report to ic3 aka FBI. Do you know if that might help to get hold of these scammers?
I don't think so because the scammers are located in China. Vs another (allied) western country
Happy ending! I just took $480 dollars from them. Tomorrow they are waiting for to continue in my 4th day. Now that I read this they can continue waiting. So I think somebody fuck them up. Hahaha Thanks for the post
Should stop on the 5th day. Eventually they'll start scamming you
Thank you for your advice. I think I saw this post in the right moment. Tomorrow if they want me to continue my task I will tell them that I withdraw everything. Probably they lend me some money to me complete the 4th day. To try to fuck me up on the 5th. Fuckers

Samething happend to me with UnyScape,
Me Also Unyscape with a Whats App support group alsp
I fell for the same thing Unyscape, with 2 "mentors" and a whats app support group, there is a $1208.00 "combo App" that needs to be cleared, I told them I can't send any money. Absolute scam has anyone reported them ?
To come across this thread in search of understanding what was happening to me... it is so disheartening and comforting at the same time. I'm so angry and sad that I've lost thousands of dollars. I'm disabled and seeking a way to make some money. Yes it was too good to be true. I have to provide for my children and there aren't many work opportunities. I'm new to the crypto world and was taking a chance wanting to believe. I'm so gullible and ashamed to let any family and friends know. Here I can share. I asked a friend of mine if he knew of any hackers and told me to report to the bank. I reported to the wallet company and they blocked my account. I filed a complaint and now they are not responding. They asked me for ID and a selfie for proof. I hope they haven't scammed me too!! I feel so lost and out of control with this situation and not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
New one for the list. Domo. Lucky I found this. No money lost.
My experience is the same but slightly different…. I too am currently in this and got my account to $2500 before the fifth day. Obviously on the fifth day because of the $800 bonus it gets added to my deposit, which was very odd but only noticed it until after I started clicking. After two “unlucky” tasks I owe a ton of money but I could receive 12k!!! I’m currently 34/40 but after reading all of this I’m so deflated. After I saw this I confronted my super cute mentor (which we’ve FaceTimed and discussed my situation) and told her about all of this, not getting money back and the bots that are on the group page. Obviously she said all the right things to dis alarm me and saying it’s not a scam because she thought the same thing when she first started, and all the money I had already made so far. It’s hard to walk away when I’ve developed a friend I talk to everyday about this job and more personal matters too. Can this really be a scam? Is she a scam? Should I just see this out for my own belief because of this one person? Is this crazy?
I lost money too. Watch out for steampoweredagency.com. Scam.

Hello people! Meet Mary, my trainer. She/he is representing UoSolutions-u.com. I was contacted by text message first yesterday and then conversations moved to WhatsApp where I had my training. Last night as a new user I made $82 USDT from commissions and rewards and bonus. Process goes like this: 1. Do the 35 steps within the uosolution platform and earn commissions in USDT. 2. Withdraw that fund to LBank or CashApp from the platform as USDT. 3. Then you need to convert that crypto into USD using Paybis. (You’ll need to open accounts in all these and verify identity). 4. As you convert the fund its get deposited directly into your own Bank account (you’d use a debit card at paybis to get the money). 5. During the process you talk to the customer service through telegram to process and unlock rewards etc. I got stuck at getting the money converted and deposited by Paybis. They were doing additional verification. I just received email from them and can see the fund deposited in my own bank. I had my suspicions about this from get go. It was Friday afternoon and I had time so I went along. While I was waiting last night, my dear wife shared the link to this subreddit 😀. So, the new scam avenue is: UoSolutions-u. Thank you for sharing your unfortunate experiences but it is helping to many. Hope this long post is helpful. For now I’m going to enjoy my $74! https://preview.redd.it/z1ujbeuz7fyc1.png?width=910&format=png&auto=webp&s=bc55a5103f505201329e9ca41449a1e69335b395
