PayPal Scam

[Scaryscam]

Datart.cz hiring me to edit texts in broken English. Anyone have scamming experience?

Re the datart.cz scam they wanted ne to proofread texts emails etc and so I did and now they want me as a representative since I was such a diligent worker. Stating I have $180 saving to my paypal. So I'm doing further "investigating" into the company which is actually a legitimate company and its an auction website. But the thing i feel is a scam is when they want you to withdraw from your Paypal account and mail out the cash to them. So thats where im skeptical of doing.

That is exactly what happened to me. And as I was reading the "texts", it all sounds really sketchy.. I couldn't get anymore info on then but that they're located in Czech republic. If anybody else gets more info, I would like to know, too. Isn't sending cash illegal anyways?

Hi,

Yeah, I kind of figured it out as I was a "Document Editor".  Here is the text of my last email after I reached the $180 level and refused their offer to become a "Representative".

Hello,

It has now been a month since I completed the task assigned to me.  Earlier you mentioned that your company only pays monthly.  How can I receive my payment?

Do I need to report your company to the Better Business Bureau and/or the Federal Trade Commission?

You mentioned that your company is too large to have a bad report for such a small amount of money, please pay me so we can avoid any further action.

Thank you,

Haven't heard a word since.

I did a little bit of research and I believe that they're from Russia. If you look at the first email that was sending you the "texts", it's a Russian name. And their DATART Security Domain email is actually from Russia. It was definitely a scam. So I deleted all of my information on PayPal, just in case.

This happened to me as well. Earned $180 and waited patiently. Then after not hearing anything from the “support” e-mail, I decided to try to solve it with the Datart.cz Facebook page. I messaged them and they confirmed it was a scam then sent me a link to this. Very disappointed, but most of all perplexed as to why someone is making legitimate looking fake customer service responses.
