Task Optimization Job Scam: Fees Kept Rising

A bbb report about a job_scam scam that cost someone $57600.0. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

They contacted me via WhatsApp and I didn't think anything out of the ordinary because I have worked with companies that did similar projects. This time, when it came time for me to withdraw my funds, it was a continuous process. There was always more money needed to pay a fee, etc. It was to the point I was being baited to send more money. I didn't send anymore and the calls stopped until recently. They started again telling me they can release my funds yet with a fee of $300.00. When I don't agree it went up to $1,500 and then to $2,500. I need my funds returned but I am not falling for any more nonsense.
