After completing trial tasks, the platform shows an accumulated balance ($100–$500) but requires the victim to make a crypto deposit (USDT/USDC) to \"unlock earnings,\" \"unfreeze the account,\" \"complete a task set,\" or \"reset\" the balance. Each deposit is met with a new demand — the balance never materializes. This is a pig butchering variant targeting people seeking remote work. FBI IC3 2024: investment and task scams combined caused $4.5B in reported losses; task scams targeting social media platforms are the fastest-growing fraud type among 18–35 year-olds.","tier":"danger","category":"scam","isThin":false}}
