I got hire by Alpha Techs at Freelancer but then when I have finished my task, they should make payment to me but they said that there is pending payment because my PayPal account did not link with their payment server. then they want me to transfer deposit 100$ to their account to release the pending payment. Is that means Alpha Techs is a scammer??

Hello @AinaShazwaniZ,
Welcome to the PayPal Community! I can certainly understand how receiving a payment can be a bit concerning. While I can't say if they are a scammer or not, I can say that sending a deposit to someone to receive money from them is not the norm. You should never have to send money to someone to receive money from them. Here's a few resources you may find useful:
How do I spot a fake, fraudulent, or phishing PayPal email or website?
How do I receive money through PayPal?
Good luck on this and future transactions!

I just recently also worked at their freelance agency, Can I ask what specific task did they let do? For me it was just a simple encoding, it is the same as yours then I think this is a scam

Is anyone able to advise what this company logo looks like? As I have found a few companies trading as Alpha Tech.
Also has anyone been able to solve this issue?

Yes, I was hired by this company as well. Been through the same thing as you guys, they're asking me for a $200 fee. Can we set up a group to discuss this?
