PTC with a twist - STAY AWAY, it’s a SCAM!
SCAM, PTC with a twist.
I was threatened by Advanz101 CS that if I post anything negative, their company will sue me.
- Starts of by receiving a text message stating they have some remote work opportunity. Most of the time the text message is from someone in your contact list (trying to make it look real).
- next you receive a what’s app message from one of their trainer to train you for work
- The trainer will train on their private account
- The trainer will transfer funds from their own account to your account so that you’re VIP1 level
- Now to prove the legitimacy of the site the trainer will transfer these funds to your bank account (they have won your trust). I was given $73 CAD and $1US was charged as transaction fees. The trainer doesn’t mention anything about the fees, one has to find out on their own.
- Now that I have received the money, the trainer will ask to deposit US $100 into your Advanz101 account to retain the VIP1 status. Again $1 US is charged for transaction fees. Now, if you have transferred exactly US $100, because of the transaction fees you’re short and you are NOT a VIP1 which is a requirement. The trainer will ask you to deposit another US$15 (minimum deposit requirement) and again US$1 will be deducted for transaction fees.
- Fun starts here, as a VIP1 you’re clicking advertisements on Advanz101 platform. You will receive a little over what you deposited.
- Your trainer will ask you to transfer all the funds to a trading platform called bitget (US $1 transaction fees applied again)
- Now transfer the money from Bitget back to Advanz101 (US $1 fees again!) to gain back your VIP1 status
- Now more fun, the trainer will make you go through this a few times.
- Once he thinks that you’re into it, you will be hit by a surprise. Your account will be negative meaning you’re no longer a VIP1 status and without having it restored you can not click further. Now the trainer will start the sweet talk about how lucky you have been that you got a negative amount because when you add more money to retain your VIP1 status, you will be able to withdraw three times more.
This is a PTC with a twist. You receive US $80 which they recover by asking to pay US $100 for VIP1 status, after that, in the name of training the trainer moves YOUR money back and forth between a trading platform and Advanz101 until your account goes in negative and then if you add more, you’re trapped! With each transaction US $1 is deducted from YOUR money.
