There’s this thing called Shopify mall of task distribution, earning commission on each and every task you complete.. I fell for it and my money is still in their platform(App) that I deposited..I don’t know of they can’t access it or what. Shopify please confirm if it’s legit
or a Scam.

Hi, We just got scammed by the same “Company” . The tasks became so expensive but we kept re charging the account and managed to complete all the tasks. We could then do the withdrawal, only to be told the next day the withdrawal cant be processed until we pay more money in for Income Tax. So at this point we new we are being scammed and refused to pay anymore funds into the random accounts. I have contacted the banks and they froze those accounts so the scammers cant withdraw there funds from them anymore and we opened a case with the police. Dont think we will get our money back but hopefully this post can help others. @Victoria_13 I think Shopify also need to take steps as the scammers are bluntly advertising they are Shopify… The so called Finance team of the scammers email is Shopify@dmc.chat .
Appreciate the heads up, @Souly1984

Firstly that’s not the original link, I think you’ve been scammed. Online links are very dangerous especially if you enter the wrong website, you can encounter issues like the one you’ve experienced so let’s be careful next time & stop falling for scams.
Good day, I have also just fell victim to this same scam of a shopify scam and involving a mall account and getting commission on the tasks you submit.
I have also reported this to the financial institutions and also want to go to SAPS. Maybe we can join cases and share all evidence and information obtained to have these people caught?
