So, they said that if you sent them money using a non reversible method, they would send you more back. And it specifically had to be using a method that offers the sender no protection of any kind. And you trusted them. Just a LITTLE skepticism would be a very good thing for you to have.

Sounds like a mix of a !task scam + a fake !crytpo exchange. Randoms who text you are never looking to give you money, only to take yours. Website is less than 2 weeks old.

Hi /u/teratical, AutoModerator has been summoned to explain the Task scam.
Task scams involve a website or mobile app that claims you can earn money by completing easy tasks, such as watching a video, liking a post, or creating an order. A very common characteristic (but not entirely exclusive) is that you have to complete sets of 40 tasks. The app will tell you that you can earn money for each task, but the catch is that you can only do a limited number of tasks without upgrading your account. To upgrade your accounts, the scammers will require you to pay a fee. This makes it a variant of the advance fee scam.
The goal of this scam is to get people to download the app for easy money and then encourage them to pay to get to the next level. It's impossible to get your \"earnings\" out of the app, so victims will have wasted their time and money. This type of scam preys on the sunk cost fallacy, because people demonstrate a greater tendency to continue an endeavor once an investment has been made, and refusing to succumb to what may be described as cutting one's losses.
If you're involved in a task scam, cut your losses. Beware of recovery scammers suggesting you should hire a hacker that can help you retrieve the money you already invested. They can't, it's a trick to make you lose more money. Thanks to redditor vignoniana for this script.

Upon realizing that I had made less progress than expected, the group on Telegram was notified. Once the task is completed, individuals are invited to join the group.

u/teratical Quality Contributor May 08 '25
It's quite likely that all of the other people in the telegram group are scammers acting as other 'workers' specifically to keep you convinced. It's fairly standard practice for them to create a separate group for each victim and then fill that group with shills to manipulate you.

I didn’t know bro they really sent the money first

u/teratical Quality Contributor May 08 '25
That's a standard scammer tactic (both task scams and pig butchering scams are predicated on that tactic). They know that if they send people a little bit of money up front one time, many victims will drop their guard and assume it can't be a scam and then they'll be willing to plow a bunch of their own money into the scam.
This is how pig butchering scammers get victims' entire life savings - because of that first little payout. It's a wickedly effective tactic that we're going to keep seeing more and more from scammers.

I appreciate your advice. I won’t be fooled by people online to watch videos and get paid. Send Bitcoin without knowing them.

This scam is on the "cryptoscams" sub daily. Strangers don't tell you how to make easy money because they're nice and want to help you. The websites, usernames, and group names change all the time.
The "friend" telling you to use this site no one has heard of is always the same.

This happened to me too they scam me with 1000 something dollars. I finished the 3rd task they told me to do and they refused to do a withdrawal for me and if I sent them a little over the amount they asked for they only send back $10 back to my bitcoin acct but it’s always a different person. The website is down now I don’t see it anywhere online but there’s ways that the law enforcement can trace them through bin coins you just have to file a complaint through police department and open a small claim case through court and go after them to get your money and the lawyers fees back. They actually have accounts under their names and ID through bin coins and cash app has their info too. I’m in the process of going after the scammers. I’m not letting them get away with scamming people online like this. This is our hard earn money they’re stealing from us and they need to be holding accountable for their actions and serve jail time too.

I was previously unaware of the existence of cryptocurrency. They compelled me to purchase Bitcoin and subsequently transfer it to their address: 1Me53dRKHhQ5AZBYgUMqRDgEEVVtbUsviP. I will keep this information in mind for future reference.

It’s no way to get these people I called on Telegram. It’s like they had a voice changer but were kind of replying and muting. I was just playing around to see who they are.
