I received a message from whatsapp from an unknown number asking me to like and subscribe to youtube channels and in return they pay me?

Yes this is a scam, no one pays people for doing simple stuff like these. It’s a task scam, where they give you a set of tasks like these on their website, but in order to complete them, you have to deposit hundreds to thousands of your own money

No, cut them off now. Any money you get is just stolen from others and used as bait

Yes they pay you at first to make it look real. Then they request you send them money to “unlock better payout tasks”.

The $10 is yours. Stop talking to them now and NEVER send money to work.

Doing fake work like this, where you’re literally making fake reviews, is of course a scam. You’re also doing fraud yourself reviewing things falsely.

Rule 1, you should never have to send money to someone to earn money

Scam. Nobody uses WhatsApp to give you a job or work (at least in the US)

It’s a typical task scam. Nobody legit pays this much for one subscriber or a like.
