Description

I found this advertisement on instagram. It claims you can earn money for rating clothes. Once you jump through hoops to join, they make you pay for a start up fee but credit your account immediately as incentive. They offer 4 times a day where you can earn double the dollars to rate and earn quicker. While the ads and training videos make you think you can make withdrawals anytime, once your on the main dashboard it says you cant withdraw until you reach $3,000. I did reach it and it said it would transfer to my venmo in 2 days and it's been 4. I always had my suspicion of this platform, but due to hard times thought it was worth it to find a way to make extra money. This is very disturbing and I'm sure they are scamming thousands if people. They use telegram for their group messages/announcements, but don't have chat available or anywhere to write a message. It says there are 2.5 people on the link. I have screenshots I took when signing up if you need them. It not only frustrating to lose money but more importantly a lot of time I can not get back. Also, as you earn more and more they make the daily earning cap smaller so it takes you longer and longer to reach 3k. I believe this is intentional so most people will give up but I was determined to know if it was real or a scam.
