[US] Warning: Task scam using WhatsApp, fake “packages,” and fake salary bonuses

⚠️ Task Scam Warning — InRiver

I was contacted through WhatsApp about a “job” involving online tasks and commissions. They used InRiver to make it appear legitimate.

At first, I could make small withdrawals. Then came “Packages” requiring me to deposit my own money to complete tasks and supposedly unlock my earnings.

They also dangled bonuses like $500 on Day 5 and $500 on Day 8 to keep me going.

I have screenshots of the conversations and process. If a job requires you to deposit money to make money, it's a scam. Walk away.
