I was offered to do a translation job from englsih to my local language and I did. When I was I was waiting to receive my payment of 2000USD I was redirected by the Project Manager to their Payment Manager so I communicated with her and she asked me for my name, account number, country phone and email and I followed her instruction then I thought she would send my payment in a gcash account. But I was informed that my account is not link to their company and was told to pay for account linking. Then they constantly keep on asking me to pay to reach the next step to the next step. So I proceeded and when I reach my limit I told them that I no longer have the amount they are asking for but they keep on telling me not to be skeptical about it. From the beginning I paid 5600php, 10,000php, 10,000php, 10,000php, 35000php, 40000php, 15,000php but something happen here and said it was not process so they asked me to pay 15000php again.
Moving on to the bank I was redirected to the bank person who will assist me for transfer called Sundlan Bank and was asked to open an account. So I asked the payment manager about it and she said to send the proof of payment I did for the account. After that the assister send a link that directed me to a bank called Credit union santus bank however I was not able to submit my information so she helped me instead. After that an email send me my account information such as account number and password, and so I signed in. When it was opened I saw the my payment including the moneys I paid for the account linking and then she guided me to the transfer fund. So I followed her instruction and then put the amount I want to transfer so I did. But in the next step I was asked to request for a VAT Code by going to their bank branches or contacting their support, so I asked the one who is guiding me and she told me to follow it. So I did but they asked me to pay 600USD to get the code and so I payed. Then again in the next step I was asked for a COT code so I asked their costumer support and was told that I need to pay 1000usd to get the code. But where can I get that I already used the money that I have and I even borrowed. So this made me more and more suspicious because it feels like I am being used. I don't know if I am stupid or that I have no idea of what I am doing. So I questioned the her and she told send me a successful transaction that their client had done. I also asked for their location and she sent me one and told me that she is not lying and that she can't get any gain from it. Is this a SCAM I had experience because from the start they made me pay.
