This is to share my experience but hopefully I’m broke as af, so i can’t deposit too much money, it is too good to be true and their scheme was like this,
One random person will message you on Viber then invites you with intriguing FREE TRIAL just to follow 2 shops in TEMU, in exchange of PHP 120 as initial rewards. Ive done the tasked and received the money. i was tempted to continue
Tasks was consisted of 22 , 17 is to follow shops on TEMU and 5 is to make deposit with many options. i was tempted and obliged to make an initial deposit of 1200 which earned me 1650 in return (so far, so good), then continue to receive my payment of 30 Php per follow of shop.
Unfortunately, they have an unreasonable tasks which obliged you to make another deposit after the initial deposit, for example: initial deposit was 3500 then after you make a trade in crypto, you will be required to make another deposit for additional investment (which blocks you to withdraw your previous earnings)
Making you desperate to earn back what you first deposited and make another deposit immediately, not to lose the money. to cut it short, I’m on that cycle for just 2 days and out of nowhere, from 3500 initial deposit they are asking you for the quintuple times of that for the next commission, which i cant afford…hence losing my PHP 3500 money.
Luckily, i earned about 3450 from their scheme, so technically i just lose 50 PESOS.

Withdrawal has 2 options. Option 1: Withdrawals within a month, u need to deposit P150,000.00, Option 2: Super Fast withdrawal to receive money for 5-30 minutes costs Php200,000.00. If i will not choose an option for withdrawal, my account will be frozen and fund will be not refundable. So, I made a decision to choose Option 1 which is 150K deposit, and i am scheduled for withdrawal today, April 21, 2025. But this day, they said my account has been frozen and need to deposit again 100k to unfreeze the account… Purely scam… 🙁
