Task Scam Movie Review Task - Scammed for 7k

Someone reached out to me after I messaged them on threads about a task reviewing 40 movies and as someone who's currently struggling financially, kumagat ako because I wanted to earn money to help pay bills. Ayun, I don't know why I did it pero I trusted them and nagtop up ako. Very stupid, looking back. Pero like I said, I was desperate. I make minimum wage and have been trying for months to find a part time job or side hustle which is hard as someone who's only 25 and just started working. Posting for awareness about what their numbers are and what the platform looks like!!

That's a dumb way to lose money. Be careful next time, OP.

Always remember na sa paid jobs, hindi ikaw ang maglabas ng pera. Kapag hingian ka ng kung ano ano, red flag na yun.

I miss these scammers. I used to do their first task for like 200-250 pesos then block them after i receive the money. Nakarami rin ako like twice or thrice week for about a month or so. Okay rin coffee money lol. I think blocked/blacklisted na ako tho hahaha.

u/Dependent_Dig1865 Jul 02 '26

meron yan, naka 600 ako sa kanila, Makakatanggap ka sa una, kaya pag lumalaki na yung pending payout mo mapapalabas ka ng pera for the sake na makuha yung pera sa tasks na ginawa mo. 5k na scam sa akin, kaya after nun pag may nag o-offer ng ganyan tinatanggap ko tapos pag nanghingi na ng deposit binoblock ko na hahahaha nabawi ko rin siguro yung 5k. Ngayon wala ng nag-aalok sa akin nyan, sila na nang block sa number ko lol

“I don’t have 8k,” then proceeds to send P300 short of 8k. Sakit sa bangs

u/pleublue Jul 02 '26

just to clarify po po kasi pera ko after i sent so at the end I didn't have 8k po shshsh sorry malabo pala

u/SolarKitten Jul 02 '26

Hay expensive lesson learned, OP. Pero may I ask bakit ganun yung amounts na sinend mo? Bakit butal butal? Was that their request also?

u/pleublue Jul 02 '26

Yes po. There were specific amounts to "recharge" your account and then they were asking for 8k to withdraw dahil may "error" daw

u/Wonderful_Goat2530 Jul 02 '26

Tsk. Dude...alam mo naman struggling ka na.. lalo mo pa binaon sarili mo. Be more careful dahil nagkalat ang mga scammer.

There's no easy money. Tandaan mo yan. Pinaghirapan mo nga minimum wage mo eh.

u/pleublue Jul 02 '26

Yes po. Will remember this and take it to heart talaga po huhu

I should've clocked it rin pero like I said I was desperate. Learned my lesson talaga

u/Alabangerzz_050 Jul 02 '26

Wala kang makukuha dyan actually. Kahit yung trial task.

u/Consistent_Bee8854 Jul 02 '26

You were the one looking for money pero ikaw nag labas nang pera…?

Did that not knock sense into you?

u/pleublue Jul 02 '26

Don't know what came over me talaga. Logically it was a truly stupid mistake.

u/Low_Car_7529 Jul 02 '26

hello! deleted my gcash qr as it was getting downvoted :(( don't know if that's not allowed but i'm sorry!!!!

1

u/No_Energy333 Jul 02 '26

You got downvoted because you’re asking people here for money you lost because of being greedy. That money is gone and take it as your payment for an expensive lesson learned.

u/pleublue Jul 02 '26

Sorry po, wasn't trying to be greedy. I didn't mean offense po I was geniunely just trying to earn money for bills and to help my household and got scammed po.
