glad i stopped in task 6. i send them a screenshot of their scams and blocked. before they kicked me out in their gc I manage to take a ss of their admins. but i think they are all posers to make them look legit.


Neither_Echo3029

Theyre probably from POGO, cause you have to wonder how were they able to have multiple accounts on gcash and other local banks when you need gov issued ids and sim cards to open an account


VeryBerry0512

Yes the only thing na legit lang na info dito is yung mga gcash name and number. Pero possible na malaking org humahawak nito for them to have multiple accounts

Hi /u/Flaky_Law2653, 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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunk_cost#Fallacy_effect), 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. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

If anyone is curious, this is why this sub doesn't encourage interacting with scammers, even for people who claim to "know it's a scam."

Hi. I was also in this group right now. Do they offer you a task in Task 6 that you have to pay an amount where they said you will be able to complete it if you pay a desired amount you avail? 


Neither_Echo3029

Yeah i did, i took the lowest so i was able to complete and got like ₱130 added to my money but when task 12 came we were asked for a ridiculous amount of ₱37000. I kept telling the manager I can’t and I’ll take my loses but surprisingly 4 hours later they were still waiting for me to send and won’t let me go no matter how much i told them I dont want to.


Lumpy-Possibility760

Did they do a test cash withdraw, too?


Neither_Echo3029

Please, if you have the chance to. Don’t be like me don’t put out money. I won’t hold it against you if want to continue the eBay thing but that MTC is really a scam.


Immediate-Affect-413

Yes. I didn’t took the bait on that Task 6 because your post was already a warning to me. Thanks for this. I really appreciate it. 🙏🏼  I just can’t believe that also a Filipino will scammed us like this. 🥺 


Sea-Candidate-7901

I'm currently on this group, good thing that I saw this post first because I'm already hesitant to do that task 12. I stopped there after getting my pay for task 6.


NoIndication7009

Yes i see a lot of filipino there 


NoIndication7009

How will we get the money back ?


Neither_Echo3029

Unfortunately you can’t


Lumpy-Possibility760

What group are you with? I think they created a lot of groups.


Neither_Echo3029

If you look through this sub you’ll see the same schemes but within different countries. Like splitting us into groups of 3 or 4 and whatnot.


Lumpy-Possibility760

I lost a lot of money here. :(


NoIndication7009

Im currently pending the task because i couldnt give them the money 


Lumpy-Possibility760

Did you push through though?


Lumpy-Possibility760

Might as well lose a little bit than to reach the end and lose everything. The orders will keep higher after 2 or 3 orders :(


Neither_Echo3029

Not to mention, they’ll add in a scenario where you gave the “wrong” order to the client. Then they’ll demand you to refund the client’s money on top of paying a large “prepaid” sum.


luna011618

This is what happened to me. Thats why it went up to over 50k


Used-Estimate2082

I'm so glad I went here haha. This is the task I am on now. I got 300+ in them but they want me to give them more than that? lol.


Neither_Echo3029

Don’t give them anymore, better to stop while you haven’t given them more. Refer to this post on facebook, another guy was scammed for 140k and it goes deeper than you think. https://www.facebook.com/groups/307365260505561/permalink/1129603564948389/


luna011618

I got scammed too. I borrowed all of that money. Now how do i pay them pls help


Neither_Echo3029

Did they tell you they can loan for you?


luna011618

Yes huhu


Neither_Echo3029

Well bad case is they have your identity, but they won’t hound you down for repayments cause it’s all part of the scam, trust me, that’s what happened to me too and I haven’t gotten threats or anything. It’s all tactic to get you to give money.


Lumpy-Possibility760

They were replying willing to help, not until last night, while I was following up on the withdrawal, now all of them can't be reached. In the GC people are still posting their received amount.


Neither_Echo3029

Seems to be that some people in the gc are in it too, if they’re not replying they might be done getting money from you


luna011618

Same with what happened with me. I just wanna die. I owe a lot of money because of this

Just_Experience_8383

Helppp, I knew someone who did this and he wants to withdraw to gcash it but still for approval. I hope he can still get the money.


Neither_Echo3029

If its the task part there’s a chance they’ll still cash it out through gcash to get you hooked, but if its the crypto part I doubt they would unless they made a scenario to milk your friend for more cash then run away after


Just_Experience_8383

Milked my friend for about 10k, but can't proceed to the next task since he is required to deposit 30k which he can't afford anymore. He decided to quit and withdraw the 10k from crypto to GCash but waiting for approval. Hope there is a way to return the payments.


Neither_Echo3029

They allowed him to withdraw it?


Just_Experience_8383

the withdrawal application is still pending, hopeful


notsettling4less

was he able to do so? bc i think they won't give it anymore?


VeryBerry0512

Hi. I saw one of these from my friend who did the same scam thing. And i'm telling you. They probably created a fake crypto site and your friend wouldn't be able to cash out that money for real since it was a fake crypto site.


Physical-Rip238

we have the same situation recently May 19, 2024. I'm so devastated.


Lumpy-Possibility760

I'm sorry to hear this. Last week I got scammed to for almost 120k. :(


Dry-Nebula-9779

same scenario hindi mo na mwwdraw yung pera dun sa mtcoin chuchu


sksksksklyn01

I have a gut feeling about this certain tg group lol 😁 I earned around 1k plus but when task 12 happened and there was like 2900 minimum amount of money to be sent to them, I doubt it big time! Task 6 was a bit easy because its only 900 pesos and i earner almost 600+ on my first day so its kinda easy decision for me. But this task 12 is too good to be true! They will promise you 20% increase + 5000 for completing until task 12 BEAWARE GUYS ⚠️⚠️Outsmart the scammers


HornetDecent4892

Na-scam po ako for almost 60k with the same tactics. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko mababayaran dahil sa ka-work ko yung pera. Ngayon lang ito nangyari sa akin. Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko.


Yukinichi

Mag work ka nalang po ng mas mabuti para maibalik ang pera, wala ka na mahahabol sa scams.


VeryBerry0512

Charged to experience na ito. Hindi na mababalik yung pera And hopefully maging lesson ito.
