| Scam contents | I was approached on whatsapp by a person that calls himself James. he run me through a website and how to use a crypto wallet, he put a small amount of money in my litslink-apptimizer profile and then that i used to "optimise data" to receive a commission. the first few optimizations were all good and they put money into my crypto wallet, which was slowly growing and then used to put back into the litslink-apptimizer, then after 5 days they credited my account with a "salary" 500 USDT then when the data optimization started the data package got bigger and I was required to put more money in my wallet to unlock the data to receive the commission, the first one was small then they increased in size quickly |
| Comment / Review | This scam is very elaborate, I was weary at first and checked a few details out and what I could tell they seemed to be legitimate. There is even a registered business certificate on their website from the state of California with a link to what I could tell is a government website. I even googled Litslink apptimiser scam and had no hits on identifying it as a scam.

I got the same scam. Same method, but they pretended to represent "Admiral Media" and to offer a job as "Data Provider User". Their site was http://ca-admiralmedia.com

I have the same experience, same name called "James" approached me, the upline, +61489-959-866. The catch is on packet data, you dealt with the first one, and you got hit again on a second one which had a growing amount up to 3000 and could go higher, nobody in your WhatsApp group could tell you the maximum limit. Your upline will not help you. Those earning 10 to 20 thousands balance are cash rich. If you are not one of them, don't play optimisation with them.
The incorporation certificate can easily be retrieved from the government website. If litslink setup this up, the domain name shall be apptimizer.litslink.com instead. Something to ponder.

so to understand well, you can pretend to work with them until day 5 or until it seems that the money they gave you at first doesn't cover right ?

Add another one to the list I had the same experience. Only lost about $2.5K though and then I figured things didn't add up so I didn't keep sending the advance amounts. The trick is that they try to get you confident in the process by paying you out a few hundred dollars over the first week, then you are likely to invest more. Then you will get the "special data package" which is "great because you can triple your earnings" except the catch is that you have to send a large advance to release the package. Then the package will likely have several data sets within it and the price doubles, or more, the total amount of all previous advances. In my example I only started with $100 for the day and it quickly went to around $6000 (USDT) awing in advances to "release the package". If you read the terms and conditions there is no limit to the amount they can ask you to advance and if you cant advance that amount then you can not get any of the money you have advanced up to that point.
Its quite a well configured scam and I can certainly see how people could lose huge amounts of money after building false trust for the system.
100% DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY! You will end up losing it and as the process is all via crypto, and you are the one who initiates the transaction so the banks will not refund your money.

I second this as a scam. They will contact you via WhattsApp, they will even join you into a chat group of other users which is all part of the scam. Basically they will build trust to try to get you to deposit money with the promise of big returns but then they will hit you with a very large "advance" amount, could be $50-60K or more, that you will likely not be able to pay and they say that you cannot get your previously invested money until you make the advance, but the catch is that there is no limit to the value which the advance can be so it could be $100K or more. Anyway, its a pretty elaborate and well resourced scam, presumably because they are making lots of money and can afford to invest lots of people hours, so it comes across as promising and I can see how people could easily lose big.
DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY!!

Recent update. They acted like giving me a loan of $18k then I had to deposit $18k so I completeled my set thinking I can withdraw but they won’t let me withdraw even I completed. Now my money $50k stuck there when I said I will
Complained to police and Advil them I complained they disappeared. Now no where you can find litslink work bench all that “let’s get done “ what’s app page phone numbers now using different scammers. They done a runner. Please people complaint to Australia NSW police. When it’s a bigger complaint lot police will act faster if not they wouldn’t care much.

I am currently having this issue. So far they have gotten me for $2200. I had a combo task at the end of my set yesterday that required another $3000 deposit of which I do not have.
This company however, uses telegram to message and gives you a bigger bonus for each day you log in. So yesterday I got an additional $500 but I can't withdraw anything until I complete all the tasks. (Which I can't do)
My first red flag was having to deposit, but when I got to cash out I thought it would be ok. My 2nd red flag was during yesterday's process, the website address changed and my mentor had to send me a new address.

It's not a real company - these are task scams and they're very common. The scammer controls the website and runs the sunk cost fallacy on their victims. None of the commissions are real. Only what you send to the scammer is real. Please stop and cut your losses.
