Support Mychale and Family After Job Scam

Donation protected
Hello my name is Mychale. I am raising funds to support my family and current circumstances. After an unexpected job loss in April, I have been actively looking for work. I have had some luck here and there regarding interviews but more than enough hardships along this journey. Given my current circumstances of being soley responsible for caring after my 2 year old daughter at home, and no current transportation when Esquire Invests Inc reached out about an employment opportunity I was intrigued. The role was described as a fully remote customer service role, processing orders and answering chat questions for a digital payment processing company. So to begin we did a phone interview, followed by a questionnaire prior to them making an offer. I completed both of those steps and an offer was made. There was an offer letter, followed by emails with links for me to start training. Since I was going to be starting off processing orders only until after my probation period, training was only 1 day. October 24th, to train me there was a detailed process for me to read and then setup, which included me reporting the orders that were being accepted or declined and upon success from that, the offer became official on October 25th followed with a w4 form as well as an employment agreement. So I signed these documents and began working. Now I did do some research and had some concerns, so I was still open to doing interviews as I wasn't completely sure about the company. Plus a little back story I have worked completely remote for other companies also, so that is also why this process didn't completely seem foreign to me. Getting back to the story, so in the employment agreement it was stated that after completion of 80hrs of work, compensation would be released, through bitcoin at a 1:1 ratio meaning it can be converted into the tangible money that we use everyday. Now I know enough to know that crypto is a real thing, and there are companies that process these digital transactions. I also have some background in the financial arena as well so I thought this could be legit and it might be, that I was being hyper paranoid and I wanted to be wrong but I wasn't. So fast forward to the time I'm supposed to get paid, because of my financial situation, I was doing overtime, I was almost racing to get to 80hrs to speed up and end my current worries. The Friday of, my "manager" states that he is going to handle some medical issues and that I didn't need to worry because I would get my compensation. At that moment, I knew that I was scammed. That didn't make any sense to me whatsoever. So, I began to ask questions, mind you we've only been communicating via chat. He goes offline and advised that he would return on Wednesday. So that entire weekend I was sad and panicking because I am not going to get paid, so I gave my time for nothing and then it hit me that I'm also not sure exactly what I unintentionally helped these people even do. Fast forward to that Wednesday, he comes back on the chat, but I haven't been able to access the website since that Monday after he advised he would be handling medical issues. So, I let him know about the website and he advised me only to try another web browser, but this site wasn't working on 2 separate laptops. He then proceeds to send me a paystub, since I was also questioning about my money. Sends me this addition website with some vague instructions for me to do the conversion of getting my "paycheck". So, I attempt to do the conversion and then there is a bunch of supposed restrictions for safety, advising for me to take $400 of my "check" to send to a bank account or debit card to verify my identity and then they would lift the restrictions and release the rest of "my check". SO since I was this deep into the situation I became more curious, so I tried a smaller amount of money $100 to see, if I was going to get a payout, especially since for those folks familiar with digital funds and conversions know there are a ton of fees associated with this process which can also eat your money up quickly. Needless to say that wouldn't work, I questioned it and was referred to "support", they stated it had to be $400 specifically. I tried to call my "manager" got no answer of course. So, I just cried because I was being teased essentially by being able to see my earnings in some BTC account, but can't access the money because of these scammers! Facing eviction this isn't what I need to be dealing with right now. I am a mother of two and a hard worker, but this was beyond wild and quite crafty. So that is why I created this for anyone who like to donate to help us, I would be very grateful. But also, in addition to that, anyone looking for work, please, please, please, be careful, because the scams are getting better unfortunately, and lastly to ANYONE, that was scammed on the digital side of things, I do ask for forgiveness. I would not ever do something like this to anyone. If you've made it this far, thank you for reading this, and I do intend on doing a YouTube about this, to show what some documents and the process looked like. Thank you.
