Hey folks! 🌟 Ready for a story that’s old but gold, yet somehow never goes out of style? Buckle up because today, we’re diving into a scam that generations have faced but still gets fresh victims every day.

Our victim’s tale begins like this:

“I was chilling on Fiverr when I received this long message full of project details. It was about content writing for some assignments. Thinking, ‘Hey, easy money!’ I replied, ‘Sure, I can do it!’ And then, boom! They sent me a Telegram link, saying, ‘It’ll be easier to chat there.’ 🚩 But who doesn’t love convenience, right? So, I hopped over to Telegram without asking for any rules or clarifications. (Mistake #1, folks!)” People with free members ship can read here.

Fast forward:

I got the project details and jumped right in. Worked hard, submitted the task, and waited. A couple of hours later, they messaged back, “Great job! Your work is approved. Your earnings? $200!” 🥳

But wait, there’s a twist!
“To withdraw your payment,” they said, “you just need to register on our platform. The fee? Just $25!” Uh-oh. 🫣
