Fake Job Offers on Telegram & WhatsApp: The Crypto Task Trap

The Anatomy of the Part-Time 'Like & Rate' Fraud

Victims receive unsolicited messages offering IDR 200,000–500,000 per day simply for liking YouTube videos or leaving positive reviews on Google Maps.

How Victims Get Hooked

  1. Initial payouts (IDR 30,000–50,000) are paid promptly to build trust.
  2. Victims are added to Telegram group chats populated with fake testimonials.
  3. 'Prepaid tasks' require depositing funds to unlock supposed 30% commission returns, ending in total forfeiture.
