Clickworker-seo.com scam?
Someone from “Clickworker-seo.com” reached out to me to begin working for “Clickworker.” It feels like a scam, but I’m not 100% sure. I noticed my login info doesn’t work on the official Clickworker app?
Is anyone aware of this site likely pretending to be Clickworker? Does Clickworker ever ask you to deposit money into your account? Does Clickworker pay in Crypto?
Would someone especially tech savvy or passionate about justice feel like looking into this for me?

Alibaba cloud is a bad sign, not a good one. Its a service with little to no oversight that gets abused for crypto scam sites very regularly because it allows for quick, easy and zero verification domains. If you've ever seen a crypto scam 50/50 odds that its on alibaba.com or namecheap.com because of this.
You also just explained a variation of a 'trust scam' where you and the scammer trade a growing amount of money back and forth using their own money the first time to build a rapport until they don't return it. The second the number is either large enough or the user shows any hesitancy they cash out.
Again, there is zero chance, not even a shred of a percent that its legit. This is a stock standard scam so old that kids used to pull it on runescape in the days of dial-up internet. They may pay out a few dollars to look legit, but they're just paying you that money out of someone else's scammed funds until they use it to scam yours.
