A scam involving the website junglescoutmall.com has been reported, resulting in a loss of $17,513 USD. The victim was contacted via WhatsApp and lured into a fraudulent online job scheme resembling a Jungle Scout platform. The job required completing tasks and depositing money to cover “Lucky Premium Product Bonuses” using USDT cryptocurrency via a wallet opened on KuCoin.
Initially, the victim successfully withdrew a small amount, but subsequent withdrawals were blocked as the scammers demanded unexpected fees after each deposit. This pattern of surprise fees raised suspicion, confirming the scam.
