Job Scam
it had been a while since it is happened on 28.05.2021 but i am sharing the stories now. I received the Whatsapp about the job offer for affiliate marketing. out of the curiosity, I had click the link and ask for the it. the scammer had directed me to a group chat which around 15 people.. in the group chat, there is a lot of scammers doing the task and forward the bank remittance receipts/ evidence after the task done. furthermore, they directed me to ask in person for the job offer. the jobs actually required us to click to the link provided, add to the cart, screenshot and transfer to the selected bank account that given by them. IN the return, they will transfer back the amount to us together with 10% rebate. for tc he first 3 job that i done, they did return my principal together with the 10% rebate. after i done 3 jobs, they ask me to join another vip group chat and claimed that the jobs done will be 20% rebate.

From the 4th job that I've carried out, they planned not to return my money. They claimed that the system has frozen my account hence i need to carry out 5th job to unfreeze it. after I've done 5th job, they did not return my money and yet i keep asking to return my money without rebate as i just want to get back my money that transferred. they claimed that my account has been unfreeze but i need to carry out 6th job in order to get back the money. i had no choice but just to do it. so i carry 7th job and they claimed it is ACCELERATED job which all the vip member had to do it. i had carry it without any doubt and they keep give me reason to carry another job until i had transferred out all my money to them. they even asked me to borrow from relative and friend to carry out the job as i told them that i had no more money and i had kids to feed.

they keep insulted me and ask me to transferred. i know i had been scammed after my hubby sent me the related stories about this but it is too late. it is my nightmare in one day and i even lost all my savings all these year.

i had lost about SGD72,000 due to the greed. i am regret everyday and hopefully the police can catch the scammers so that i can recover some of the money lost. hopefully there is no more victims after i shared the stories. the online platform they using is shopee, now they turned to lazada.
