Scam Description
I was contacted by someone on my cellphone and i think the message came in through linkden . The message said or was looking for employees to go to work for them. I agreed and for a week everything went as expected. Then when I wanted to retrieve my salary the software they were using wouldnt pay out what i had earned unless i match an amount which they gave me. I did that cause they indicated my percentage would go way up on what i could make. When i made the deposits the software again came back and said i had to match a certain amount. I did so. I then figured out this was all a scam and i asked for my money back. I couldnt get it. I then made them an offer if they would give me back half i would just quit the job and go about on my way. they refused. so i am out 1636.00. I have all the corresspondance and screenshots. I feel i was taken advantage of because i am disabled and maybe dont quite understand how things work.
