i also joined this company saying they do flagship for Amazon through aliexpress. Their name being seashells1 (https://www.seashells1.com) Got this link through TikTok
Send me a link ,training on how to shop and pay with my own money for items.
I was making money and able to withdraw small amount 2 to3 hundred Rand.
There are 5 tasks with 8 units in each task. First lot of tasks were low so I made some money. The following day I decided to do the second task and the tasks got really expensive and the only way to withdraw your funds are to finish the tasks. I can see the money on the website but cant withdaw as the task are not finished. The manager name Lianna +55 11 97726-6337 and white shark +27 72 164 1978 are not respong now that i demand my money back even without the extras or even half. I really hope the can be tracked and stopped and i could get my money back
I have also been scammed by the same people claiming to do work for AliExpress. They use teh platform Azerbaijan9.com/#/ , where you have to login and do tasks. The first five tasks looks legit as you have to pay for merchandize and earn commission. You have to put in R200 to buy and pay pay for orders and earn your commision. After completing the first 10., then you are able to withdraw your money. You are then asked to logon the following day and put another R200 to complete 10 tasks. on the day the orders started to be more expensive and had to add more money to complete the 10. I was happy that I made more money and was asked if I wanted to withdraw or work overtime since I finished early. The first day I made about R413 including the R200 i paid in and was able to withdraw it. The next day it was around R683 including the R200. That i did not withdraw since i wanted to increase my income by working overtime. The orders were took all that money and i had to put more up to R6000. When I was on the last order for the day it required me to put R9200 to complete the order and make a withdrawal. I did not have the money and was told that there was nothing they can do since I could not complete the task for the day and no refund for me. Itried to call the person whome I was chatting with on whattsapp but to my surprise the call went to someone, an african lady who had no clue as to what I was talking about. She told me she has been using the number for years and does not know of any internet business. The manager I was communicating with on whattsapp is Everly Suarez and she said she was a South african citizen. The contact number I viewed on her status is 0762251814. The other number on Whatssapp for the same scam is 0810548199. Can this people be caught and all this scams be removed on social media since they are targeting desperate people looking to make a living.
What is it gonna happen if you finish all task?
You must pay taxes 1st before you can withdraw your money but I don’t have more to pay so i can’t get the money according to them.
They also did the same to me but i made sure dat i get de money n now i did recharge they are saying ders riots i have to wait .
I have to pay taxes. But i said deduct the taxes and pay me out but they said I must first pay the taxes.
I was scammed by this company as well,they lurr you in on tik tok thinking you can make extra money.
they Whatsapp with you they explain everything and they have a whole set up,train you on their site,these people are so good everything looks legit,the whole website looks legit.
they ask you to deposit R200 to activate your work account,explain that you can work everyday and earn some money everyday,after completing the 5 tasks then you can “withdraw your money.
the first task they assist with and pay you the small amount so you think its legit,then you start with another task and this is where it gets more and more the purchases you need to pay are ridiculous amounts that you keep having to pay in for the task to be completed.
i stopped on the last task because i ran out of money and they already then paid me pain in over R5000 and told me they can cancel or stop the task only keep the task on hold until i can finish the task then i can withdraw my money.
this people need to be taught a lesson,some of us are using are last money.
the person i was chatting to is “Lindi Mhlangu with cell number – 0661936884 “she was my manger.
there is someone who does the introduction then she sends you another number that is now apparently your manager.
I was scammed literally yesterday 18/07/2023.
they must be stopped because we in South Africa are trying to make ends meet because unemployment is so high but then u get this sick people.
I wish i could get my money back i have never been this stressed.i wish they can get what they deserve
I’m in the same position. My money is in “bank” until I’m able to complete all the tasks then I can withdraw. R2224 (which I don’t have) must first be deposited in order to complete the current task.
I immediately smell a rat when I was unable to call the WhatsApp number and the explanation given to me when I indicated to the person that I’m unable to call her.
At least I know now that this a a scam and can walk away without losing any more money.
They must be stopped. The bank account number that is being used to deposit monies should be a start to trace them.
I feel your pain and frustrations.
This is a Big scam and i am going to stop them on tik tok because they scammed me i am on disability I needed to make extra money I don’t have money for my medication or my rent or nothing . But I AM GOING TO PRAY AND GIVE THIS TO THE LORD HE WILL NOT LET HIS kids suffer .i am taking them and i am going to name and shame them and we all should do this . I am making a fraud case and my lawyer are taking this to the high court
I just want my moneyback they can keep there commission. NIRISSA 0817515504
FINANCIAL MANAGER 0834389317 PROJECT MANAGER 0767280438
They took my money now I have to finish the task and it’s the 1st of month I have left with nothing in my pocket even my bank account is 00.00 ..I never imagine something like this happening to me
Yes join the club. But my attorney said we must make a case and all the capitec accounts send it to the fraud and scam departments at capitec so they can investigate all the accounts.
Is capitec going to assist us to get our money back
It’s sad and sickening that people do this to people looking for a better life I fell into the same trap nearly lost my house
I did 5 tasks and now they want me to pay taxes before i can withdraw my money and i am broke i have no money left. We need someone to help us stop them and maybe get some money back. I think we need all of us do letter or something and send it to all the news papers and name and shame them on tik tok when you see one of those ads again report them. I also saw today they are ads on Facebook also so i name and shame them we have to try and protect others from making the same mistakes that we did.
We are all in the same boat the first five or ten tasks are low but once you request for more work that’s when all hell breaks loose the demands keep getting higher and higher nearly sold my car because I wanted to get the money I made but everytime you try to communicate with them they tell you they can’t do anything you have to finish your tasks I’m hurt broken I’m literally broke but the Lord sees and my tears won’t fall for nothing
I was also scammed by them recently. We need to make sure that they are reported to Tik Tok. They lure us about making more money and knowing very well we will agree to that.

I can really kick my own but for being scammed by these people yesterday, 30 August 2023. And I can only be angry at myself. The moment I became a “mature” member as the woman said, they wanted to give me an exclusive recharge channel and then the banking details changed. When I asked her who’s account this is, she said it’s the company one and that she can send me the company business registration number. After she sent it, I found this page just from the number I entered. There are so many South Africans on the WhatsApp group chat and they will all be in the same position as I am. I am going to call Discovery today as that was the main account I made recharges to.
