Starkrockproject 

Very bad company to work with, full of scammers and manipulators. If someone has been scammed by individuals claiming to work for this company, please get in touch with me. I got scammed and I lost more than 8000$ for freelancing work with this company, and I'm starting a legal suit against them

I landed what I thought was a good retyping job with them. After retyping a booklet from PDF to word, the so called "project manager" refered me to their "accountant" a certain""Mr Dawood Azami" who asked me to pay 100$ for the release of my "fee". I asked him to pay the "project manager" so that she would pay me as I wasn't part of any team or project which he duly refused. This is a scam or some guys taking advantage of us to do their donkey work for free.

I did a job sent to by Stephanie Hernandez @Stehernandez on telegram and she agreed to pay me $3000 upon completion she gave me a number +44 7349 840320 who is supposed to be a payment manager. Only for him to ask for $100 to link my details to the company payment system. When I told this guy I can't pay $100 for a link(you never pay for a link, it's free)he said I have never gone to school, that's why I don't understand.

This company is a scam. Don't ever respond to them they let me do some 100 pages of translation. Upon completion of it, I just had some feeling that something wasn't quite right as the person who emailed me, Wallace Jackson (I am quite sure is not his real name) told me 5 working days and I miscalculated it as I included Christmas day as business day and he just agreed with that date I said. Upon completion I checked trustpilot website and saw all the other reviews and then I went to check on their company address which does not exist. When I checked on the postcode they gave it, it is Buckingham Palace! I messaged them and they knew they couldn't lie anymore so showed their true face and was being unprofessional about it.

I had a very concerning experience with this company. They initially agreed to pay for a translation job, but after completing 150 pages of work, they asked for my personal data and demanded I pay them $200 upfront before they would release the payment. This is a clear scam tactic.

I strongly advise anyone considering working with them to be extremely cautious. They did not honor their payment commitment and attempted to take advantage of me by asking for money and sensitive information.

Please avoid this company at all costs.

Beware of this scam! It starts on Facebook with a username Anumkhan, who redirects you to a Telegram account under the name @SteveSevenPROJECT, claiming to be a "Project Manager." They offer simple tasks like converting PDFs to Word, typing, or translation, often with a deadline. Once you complete the task, they send you to a "Money Manager" on Telegram with the username @PAYROLL_OFFICER.

The "Money Manager" then provides a link to a bank called Stergona and asks you to create an account. After setting up the account, they request your account number and personal information. Once everything is complete, they demand money from you. If you refuse to pay, they block you and never release any payment for the work you’ve done.

This entire operation, run under the name StarkRock Project, is a fraud. It’s a deceptive scheme to steal personal information and money.

scammer, but a very lazy one.

Thats a scum, they will give u a easy tasks then let u create a weird account on bank portals then u have to pay for that and after payment u will never see your money.

scam!!! They are scammers, trust me, they ask for money when they should be paying you for work done.

Recently I got this offer by a person on fivver,
he asked my email though it already on the web
but i still give my email
they sent me an assignment, translation project
within 4 days
after I finished,
i haven't got any reply yet,
later after 4 or 5 days i got an email that my assignment have been submitted and success
and they told me to chat the payment manager on telegram which i obey
but suddenly they need to linked my bank account with $80 feels strange for me

SCAM!

Watch out for Jonathan Underhill on Facebook who says he also works for this company.

You get your project, sign the same contract that this company offers and set up a Telegram account, then once you hand in the project, they set you up with Great City Commercial Bank. Then you get asked to pay for a VAT Code, then you have to pay for KYC (Know Your Customer) fee, then a BOT Code (US Dollars)!

You never see the money they promised!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE!!!!

SCAM, I didn't go so far as my colleagues in the previous reviews but the clues where quite evident: asking for many personal info but getting rude when I was asking about them; their website has fake address and telephone number.

On FB they told me: "Kindly contact the project manager via telegram for more information about work details and to get started [link to telegram]
Telegram Contact: @julie_maddy"

But they wouldn't share any info about their company.

On telegram their "manager" was avoiding any question regarding their company, plus trying to manipulate by putting pressure "are you here for work??"

Thanks for the previous reviews, they were helpful

They contacted me through Fiverr. I am an Architect and 3D modeler, they asked me to design a home, they gave me a program of needs in a pdf that made me doubt the professionalism of the "company" but I decided to go ahead because they promised a sum of 5,000 usd and the deadline to complete it. The work was 4 days. I decided to take the risk. Send 2 files, a skp and a dwg. Then they told me that I had to create an account on a website, a "virtual bank account" called ELITE COMMERCE ASSETS, they deposit money there, you see the payment reflected but you cannot withdraw it because they ask for a VAT code and this is so that They ask you for 200 USD to a bank account in Argentina, my place of origin. It appears that they are professional SCAMMERS.

To any freelancers who “Stark Rock” contacts: stay away from them. I received an inquiry via freelancermap and proceeded to exchange emails with an alleged project manager. However, the information and responses he had for me were all so vage, I knew it had to be a scam.

A closer look on their website “starkrockprojects” made me even more suspicious, as I doubt their phone number is +100000000 and their address 123 Business Centre or something.

Lastly, you can literally not find any information on them, their company, their team or their projects on Google, which is just very unusual. And the other reviews here on trustpilot confirmed my doubts.

Unfortunately, I have to give at least a star, but I’d rather give 0.

Very negative experience!! It is scam even if they use formal language and try to convince you to pay a fee in order to receive your payment. Avoid them!!!!

Total scam. They hire you as freelancer just to take your 80$.
Here is how:

1- Find a newly-started freelancer on fiverr Contact them for a project and use formal language, like "We need a translator who can work with tight schedules."

They will be convinced by the professional tone, making them think the job offer is legitimate.

2- Give them a Telegram username for further contact.

This method takes the communication off-platform, reducing Fiverr’s ability to track or intervene in the conversation.

3- Change your persona on Telegram and act as a female project manager.

They shift their identity to seem more trustworthy or relatable, playing on the psychology of the freelancer.

4- Give them a book or some document to translate from English into their native language, and offer an unusually generous amount of money.

This attractive offer is bait to lure the freelancer into believing this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

5- Set a short deadline, but make the timeline absurdly flexible.

The deadline creates urgency, but by being lenient, they make it seem like they are very understanding, further building trust.

6- Use the website starkrockproject as a reference (this is the most important part) because it looks somewhat professional, even though it doesn’t have a proper phone number (it shows something like 123 00000).

The website adds a veneer of professionalism, tricking the freelancer into believing the scam is a legitimate operation.

7- If the person contacts the website to verify whether the Telegram contact is actually their project manager, “Assure them that she is indeed the project manager!”

They've already prepared for potential verification checks, reinforcing the scam's legitimacy with this step.

8- Wait for them to finish the job.

The freelancer works hard on the project, believing they will be paid generously for their work.

9- Shortly after, like 40 minutes later, review the translation and say, "Congratulations, you are approved."

This swift approval creates excitement and relief, as the freelancer believes they have successfully secured the deal.

10- Then, forward them to another contact (again on Telegram).

Introducing new "staff members" adds complexity, making it harder to pinpoint who is responsible for payment issues.

11- Impersonate an accountant to handle the payment.

They use this new identity to further legitimize the transaction process.

12- Ask for their bank account or any type of account where the money can be transferred.

At this point, they pretend to initiate the payment, making the freelancer feel reassured that the funds are on their way.

13- I gave them an Iyzico account, and they agreed to it. However, Iyzico doesn’t actually offer such a service!

This shows they are flexible and willing to work around different payment methods, but in reality, they are setting up the freelancer for a scam.

14- Then I gave them my bank account, and they sent me the payment, including a receipt with a wet signature!!!

The fake receipt is meant to give the freelancer a false sense of security, tricking them into believing the transaction is legitimate.

15- But after six days, there was no activity in my bank account, so I contacted them again.

The delay is part of the scam, as they hope the freelancer will either give up or not pursue the matter further.

16- They forwarded me to yet another person (allegedly from a "payment server service").

The introduction of a fake "payment service" is just another layer of deception designed to prolong the scam.

17- Finally, they asked for $85 for some vague reason.

This is where the scam becomes obvious, as they request money instead of making any actual payments to the freelancer.

At this point, it was clear they were scammers (I had already learned their technique online), so I heavily cursed them and gave them a piece of my mind, then I shared with you.
