This was started on whatsapp. A girl messaged me with offer of Part Time Job where I’ll get 180php as welcome bonus then 60php per youtube subscription.She gave me first task by sharing link of youtube channel which I subscribed and completed first task. Then she said You will receive 180 pesos. Send a message to our Cashier now on TELEGRAM Cashier ID : Search for @Aileen_bit or use link (https://t.me/Aileen_bit)
. I registered there then Auditor asked me to complete authentication process by giving them my Name, gcash number for the payment. Which also I did. Then they asked me to join their telegram channel where they gives daily 25 tasks (11:00am-11pm) to complete and get the payment. In which prepaid tasks also was there which I was not aware about. I got the first prepaid task to do where 1000php was the starting prepaid task for fresher people. So I paid 1000php with the help of receptionist and then she allocated one teacher named @Simon_bit (telegram channel id) who will be guiding us for the trading. Then shared some steps to follow to do trading of bitcoin. I followed the steps and completed that prepaid task and then I got paid 1200php via the auditor Aileen. Then I kept completing other tasks which got posted in the group in which I got another prepaid task. Second time I again tried to opt for 1000php plan for which they denied and informed that I can opt it for once as fresher only. Then they asked me to choose task of 3000php and paid the amount to merchant through auditor. I followed the steps and completed that prepaid task and then I got paid 1200php via the auditor Aileen. Then there is another prepaid task on next day, I again tried to opt for 3000php plan for which they denied and informed that I can opt it for once, so i chose 5000php,This time the task need to be completed in group where 2-3 people are were required. This time teacher made 1 group and asked us to agree some terms and condition and then shared the same steps to complete the trading task. Which everyone did and then teacher asked us to wait for another group task and shared some tasks in which we have to choose one amount and need to pay to merchant via auditor by sharing the code given by teacher. Then I opt for the amount which was 49800, As everyone has to select the same option others selected the same which I did. Then we paid the amount and then completed the task by repeating the trading task by following the steps given by teacher. Then after completing the two task teacher asked us to wait he is checking whether there is another task. And after few moments teacher declared that there is another task then it is is over and we should speak with receptionist to settle our commission. He shared the next task where we need pay minimum amount of rs 99800 and more than that 2 also were there. By seeing this I got frightened but the rule was like if I chose to quit then they will blacklist me will not return my money. Then this time one person from our group said that she need some time to manage the fund . Then i said I’m not able make such huge amount they said he said it’s a management Rules if you paid you will get all rewards otherwise you will ban and will not get the principal money. He said Financial team not releasing the amount. I beg that i am not after the rewards anymore I just need the principal money. They said just 1 task and then there is another 2-3 tasks but you cant withraw money unless you finish the 3rd task. They asked me to arrange the fund and pay the amount till next day which I still not did beccause I dont have that money anymore. I don’t know what to do now? How will I get my money back.
