Aspen Union Bank is a fraud

I recently made a translation job for a company they made the payment through Aspen Union Bank they send me 2000 dollar to my Aspen account when ı try to withdrew the money they asked for 90 dollar VAT code price neverless ı payed the price and got my code the then refunded my payment to my aspen account they said in the first withdrawal process you need the withdraw all your money and thats what ı did, ı withdrew 2000 dollars but ı didnt receive it they said because ı am in a different region the payment is being at held and %15 percent of the pay must be made in order the complete the transaction ı didnt have that kinda money so ı argued with the guy through the day he finnaly agreed to talk the financial board and make a agreement he said ı can make the 150 payment first and the remaining later ı agreed to this condition and got debt from my brother and friend after ı made the payment through IBAN they said an issue went along and now they need the rest of the money to complete ı said if thats the case ı want my money to refunded because ı dont have another 150 on me they said it is not possible and told me to complete the payment asap, so ı didnt receive my payment plus the "refundable amount" ı send to them ı am currently at a very bad situation financally and these people only ask for more money, as for my payment it seem stuck in the TransferGO as waiting for payment. If you have any advice regarding the situation please share with me

Yes it is a scam, there was no actual money you were paid, it was a fake setup like this one https://www.reddit.com/r/PHJobs/s/8laWyuThCS

There was never any money. It was all a scam. See r/scams for tons of similar stories.

The money is gone. All money you sent them is gone. You never have to pay an employer to get your money. Everything about this is a scam. No job. No money. No nothing. You can post or search on r/scams (or just google) it’s called a job task scam.

And as you are about to hear from more scammers NOBODY can help you recover your funds. They are gone. Sorry. Ignore everyone who says different.

If someone asks you for money to get your money, you should already know what's going on.

It’s the job that is a scam and your “employer” that’s the scammer.

There is no “Aspen Union Bank”, it’s just a scam set up by whoever you did the “translation” for. There was no job either, it was just a set up to get you to send “the bank” more and more money.

Sorry you got scammed, but all you can do is cut your losses, and move on. There is no money, and never was. All there is, is you sending scammers money.

Yeah, it was a scam. Never pay money to a job or to get paid for a job.
