The like scam

To build trust, the victims receive a small compensation for the first tasks they do. This initial payment is used to bring credibility and legitimacy to the supposed work.

After receiving the first payment, the victims are added to a group chat with the person publishing the tasks, other victims and bots. The bots simulate real users and publish fake screenshots showing supposed profits.

The tasks become increasingly more complex and offer better rewards. Now, they ask unknown recipients to send them money with the promise of returning it, with a bonus.

The amount of money invested increases gradually until, at a certain point, the promised reimbursement is not paid and all contact with the victim is severed.
