I received a WhatsApp (0738681290 Called herself Agatha) inviting me to make money online. Due to being unemployed I skeptically went for it. I completed a few orders and as promised my deposit plus comission was deposited in my account. On the third order I did Deposit R5000 earn R1475 commission and withdraw 6475. I agreed to this one and the order began. On the 9th task the system wanted me to pay in. So I immediately spoke to my tutor who is on Telegram user name @Pra699 and is called Pramod Amazon HR. The amount to pay in was more than the original deal it was R5857. The following is the message from Pramod. Please do not worry, it is normal for some orders in the mall to make up the difference, so you can complete the task by making up the difference as soon as possible!. So I fell for it and continued. 2 tasks later the system wants another pay in another R3685. What Pramod said is as follows. Task orders are random, not all tasks need to make up the price difference. She goes on to say the following. Don’t always think about how much money you put in, you have to find out how much money you made. Look at the total balance on your current account. Seeing that the amount was lower then the first one and being convinced by pramod that this is random. I proceeded. 2 tasks later once again the system wants more money This time R11412. I could not believe this and Pramod just kept sending the same replies. Here are a few: Your current task order has not been completed and cannot be withdrawn. Please continue to apply for withdrawal after completing the task order. Another one follows: Your current task order has not been completed and cannot be withdrawn. Please continue to apply for withdrawal after completing the task order. I begged to speak to a manager and time after time I got the same responses. After 3 days of this Pramod says my funds are frozen and that I would need to wait 30 days for my funds to unlock and that I could withdraw. What she said follows: Refund Notice:
The task order is not completed, need to wait for the lock period to end
1. You can apply for renewal at any time during the lock-up period, and all funds can be withdrawn immediately after settlement
2. The lock-up period is 1 month. After the lock-up period ends, you will be able to directly apply to withdraw the principal and give up the commission income. So I wait out the 30 days. On day thirty I request my deposit she says what follows: After the merchant gives a reply, I will let you know. 2 Days later I get this response: Hello, your quest order has expired and the official refund process is now open. Since the task order has not been operated for a long time, it is necessary to open a withdrawal account and obtain permission. Please recharge 25% of the account balance to verify and activate the withdrawal authority, then you can apply for withdrawal. 10976 This is your current balance that needs to be recharged. Now I am actually shocked and I do not trust a word that has been said to me. The amount of the refund are my deposits which is R14560. Pramod wants me to recharge with an additional R10976. This is surely unlawful. I feel misled and robbed my mental health has also deteriorated. I am unemployed and Amazon Mall refuses to release my money. The website which I am using is ama96.com/index my user name is b43400. Please help me get my money back.
