they also confidently told me "you have to pay $50 first because you recently joined our project."
I am curious. Upon joining their project, did they not show you any terms and conditions? I’m pretty sure you would have to agree before continuing to use the project unless they are so shameless that they hide the conditions of their projects from their customers?
Sorry to hear this but next time before getting in on a new project, verify all aspects first.
all I did was verify starting from the name, country, and what project to choose. after that they will send the job description and ask me to sign. and all I read was an agreement that I, in my name and where I live, was willing to do the work.
but I didn't know that the wallet used to receive payments was Viserbank, not PayPal.
