Hi. I got a whatsapp message from someone claiming she works with a digital marketing company called Lilo Social marketing company that has online job opportunities. All I needed to do was submit screenshots of products and get paid. She asked if i wanted to try it and i agreed. She suggested I do a trial run to test my readiness. She sent me 3 different links and asked me to click on each one and then send a screenshot of the images. I did as was told and she said I had done well. She then sent a link to a receptionist that will make the payment. The receptionist asked for my bank details and paid N3200. She then sent me 2 links to join 2 channels that I noticed had over 350 members. We We were asked to do same things I did earlier and got paid N800 per screenshot. The next day we started off same way and then we’re asked to make 18k payment. I did cus everyone was doing it. After a few minutes I got 25k. Later that day, they put us in a group of 3 and asked us to select and agree from a list of tasks that involved investments starting from 60k. We agreed on the 60k and i made my payment. After that, i was told there was another task that required us paying 250k. I said I didn’t have but was told I needed to pay it so I could get all my money back. I got the money and paid but was again told there was a final task of 600k which had to be done for complete payment to be made. I ran around but only got 500k. I informed the guy and he said he will help talk to his people to accept it. He then asked me to pay in the money and prepare for a final task. I did. He sent a link of another task which i quickly did and submitted. Has sent a payment code I fwd to the receptionist. After some time, She told me their was a system error cus i didn’t do the tax well. I was asked to pay another 600k to rectify the situation so I can get my money back. That was when i realised I had been scammed. I lost a total of N810,000
