Scam Description
They reached out to me on Instagram and asked me to be the face of their business called the sharp bet. The person has reached out to me before, but just small talk. Asked me to do a video for their website and would pay me for any subscriptions that came in. It’s an online betting business. They said that it was a good weekend for betting and told me to give as much money as I could and they would double it and it would be in my bank account in 3 days. I trusted him and thought that I was part of their company. He never gave me the money and will barely answer any of my texts. When he does answer, we says something got messed up and the transfer has been initiated. However, it’s been 3 weeks with no money.
