A Georgia woman lost $30,000 to a task scam posing as a remote job. After receiving a text about a legitimate job, she started training and received payments. Doubts arose about the job's authenticity, but the company credentials seemed convincing. Ultimately, the job turned out to be a scam that required her to pay for supposed errors in her work. Despite reporting to the authorities, she received little help and advises others to thoroughly question and verify job offers.
"I was working. They were giving me back my bonus, and then they start saying, 'You find some errors, you cannot move forward until you send us the money.'"
"I saw the name of the company... all the information matched," said Dorothy, noting that she probably should have done further research.
