I have also fallen for this scam, luckily I'm only 50 gbp out of pocket before I realised things were too good to be true.
I was also contacted by a mentor on whatsapp telling me he had a freelance job available. I was invited to a whatsapp groupchat with other members. I only deposited 50 to complete my 2 first sets for the day and withdrew the money. I was up around 190 from 50 and most likely with all of us greed got the better of me. I deposited around 150 back onto the platform and of course was hit with a merge order of another 150. Luckily my payment got declined and thus I waited before I did any more deposits.
They operate several different websites that link to legitimate companies that have no ties with the actual data driving platform.
The one I was linked into was talendsenna.com and it uses the exact same layout as the website listed here, it's so blatantly obvious I'm kinda laughing at myself for falling for this scam.
I feel very sorry for all the other users who deposited much higher amounts, more awareness needs to be raised in regards to this scam as it's very elaborate and seem very legitimate compared to other scam methods.
Talendsenna.com IS A SCAM.
I will be actively monitoring this thread to see reply to any other people's experiences and I will also make a new submission regarding the new website Talend.
This comment is copied from the thread regarding www.adverity-uk.com, which uses the exact same template and scam methods.
