In a Freelance Web site, I came across a single-contact ad that was given an email. I wrote the remaining contact email and told me that there was a single purchase fee for their platform of $ 16.59. I paid the amount mentioned. Then they asked me for another $ 24.49. I also paid her . After I sent them information that the payment was successful, I was asked for a third amount of $ 41.08. As a note I had to write RELEASE REFUNDS. I paid her. I was told I had to pay for it to go out for 4 minutes from my account and when I re-enter the three amounts will be in my account and will send me a username and password to access their platform. Having entered my balance was $ 0. Nothing has been restored to me. When I wrote them again, they asked for a fourth $ 41.08, which I could not pay because there was a problem. I have all the mail correspondence. I found information in a forum on the Freelance Web site, where a user posted an email with the same content, but a different PayPal account and a gmail address. I asked for my money back if I dropped the platform if it was for bad reason, but they replied that if I did not pay the last amount, $ 41.08 could not be done. I told them I did not have that stock, adjusting the amount of $ 22. I think this is a scam.  I have an answer that the case is closed by me. I have not refused anything. I'm asking for help! ...

Hello, I'm a beginner freelance. On a platform I got into a project. The application was given only by mail. After I wrote to the email I was told that there is a refundable purchase fee for their platform. I paid the amount. A second sum came out of it. There followed a third, which was the last of them. After the payment they told me to leave my account and in 4 minutes to get in. The money should be in my PayPal account. I did it, but there was no money after I got in. I asked for a fourth amount, which I could not pay through PayPal because of a limitation from my bank. I tried to pay in another way, the money was withdrawn from my account, but the transaction was denied. I received an answer that they will be refunded to my account, but those paid through PayPal do not get back from the account I paid them for. I want to finish the procedure with the last translation. After I told them that I had no money in my bill, they demanded a different amount of money. Please ask for an opinion. It seems to me to be a scam. ... View more
