I was contacted on WhatsApp by someone offering those task orientated scams. The ones that have a fake website and lure people into thinking they are genuinely working but then have to pay some money to get paid.
Normally they offer pay you some small amount of money, $20-$30 with the hope you will deposit to earn more.
Anyway after getting into a heated argument with one of the "job recruiters" aka scammers he realised there was no point. He actually admitted that yes it wasn't genuine. I asked him how much they earnt a day and his reply was 2-2.5 BTC each day. I was surprised at this amount as thats a shit load for just one small operation.
The irritating part of this is, those who have been ripped off are generally people who can't afford to lose any money.. which is why they are trying such menial tasks.
It would be good if there was a way to take down such sites to prevent them ripping off anymore people. The authorities are pretty much non existent in doing this or if they do its way too late.
Any suggestions?
