I got scammed 🦤
3 weeks ago
Well, my "new job" turned out to be scams. The good thing is that I didn't completely sacrifice my time, but it was still disappointing not to get paid (for an online microtask job). I had another one before (that did pay), but the system overload caused my earnings to drop.
But it was a shame because I wanted to separate my art from the commercial side of things now. The good thing is that I have followers who never let me starve and always lent me a hand without expecting anything in return, but that's not the idea, since I don't want to depend on others.
I was really looking forward to buying my first graphics tablet (it costs $50) but now I have to postpone the purchase until I sort things out. Anyway, I'm open to a full-body commission to buy the tablet.

I was recently talking to a friend who also got a job for a website doing microtasks. I hope he didn't fall for the same scam!
Can you tell me more about that scam so I could warn him just in case?
