A job applicant applied for a position at Realtingpro.com through a listing on Facebook. The applicant joined a virtual chat with individuals believed to be other job applicants and employees of Realtingpro.com. Realtingpro.com paid the applicant $200 via a Cash App to post hotel ratings within the Realtingpro.com platform. The applicant was then prompted to transfer crypto to Realtingpro.com on more than one occasion. Such funds were to be used as a downpayment towards becoming a deluxe rater, which promised higher returns for each future hotel rating. The applicant was never paid for additional hotel ratings nor able to recover their downpayment.
