I was contacted by telegram about a part tie job with KYAK hotel optimising team. Apparently it is not KYAK, scammers using their name for crime. I was then taken to Wattsapp with and a trainer Jack guided me what to do. It is 40 click three times a day give you a percentage of the hotel price. It went on for 2 weeks. It was going ok until I god a negative balance and had to pay a large amount of money to get it to positive in order to finish task and take money out. It went on to getting three more of this negative balance. They send you different web addresses daily to recharge your account once money is sent to them from my OKX platform. I paid OVER £30000 in total pawning jewellery borrowing money thinking once paid I will finally get the money in the account. When it was time to withdraw, they said I had to pay more to get the money because had to pay tax. Tax was paid then when finally time to get over $40000, I was told Fincen an American Company has taken over because looks like money laundering and had to pay $27000 to release my money. That is when the penny dropped I was being scammed. They were so convincing with fake letters. I have contract they sent after this to sign to secrecy etc. I reported to bank and Action Fraud police. I dont think I will get my money back but now I am broke poor and soo to be homeless because missed mortgage payments and owe people a lot of money. Lesson to be learnt, If it appears to good to be true, then it definitely is a scam, especially if you pay money to get money. I have all the transactions to them from OKX and the person Jack my trainer keep saying you have to pay the $27000 to get my money, always egging me on. Pretending to be my friend when hes part of the whole scam. They even add me to their community so you can see other members getting all this money but its part of the scam. A very hard lesson learnt and very poor now the shock sent me to hospital with anxiety and very high blood pressure.
