The job should pay you. You should not pay the job.

Common task-scam patterns

• Unexpected text, WhatsApp or Telegram recruitment
• “Product boosting” or “optimization” tasks
• Fake commission balances and early small payouts used to establish trust
• Required deposits to unlock additional tasks
• Cryptocurrency transfers, pressure or secrecy
• Requests for personal or financial information
• Fake checks or equipment purchases

Never deposit money to unlock work, complete a task set or withdraw supposed earnings.
