Scam Description
Angela Smart contacted me via instant messenger and told me about an online job. She put me in touch with a man named Jefferson Gallagher. He sent me the typing project and details about it. I completed the typing project and was supposed to be paid $1800. When I contacted the payment manager, I paid a $30 account linking fee. Then she kept giving excuses as to why she couldn’t send my payment. When she finally tells me my payment is ready she expected me to pay another $50 authorization fee. When I asked her to refund my money she refused and said it was only refundable with payment after she already told she would refund my $30. Now she won’t respond to me anymore.
