A man shared his unfortunate encounter with a “woman” he met on Carousell who turns out to be a scammer.
Here is a rough translation of what the man said:
I get to know a woman through Facebook and she asked for my Whatsapp, we chatted and thought that she can have a good relationship with me and she said that she has a high income.
In my spare time, I usually do a part-time job selling on the carousell platform. Based on 5% commission. Then she recommended carousell platform “customer service” to me. The customer service first gave me a $100 order. I did it, and it gave me 100 commissions, a total of $110. I won’t get back if I do it again.
The man’s story is a bit confusing, but from the screenshot, it appears he paid $680 in order to get back $110.
Original text: 在Facebook有缘找对象。然后对方要了我的WhatsApp。聊天,聊着觉得和我关系可以,就说她收入很高。平时空闲都在做兼职carousell平台的刷销量。按5%的佣金计算。然后她就推荐carousell平台客服给我。客服最开始给我一个100元的单。我做了,它把100佣金一起给我了,共110元。后来我再做就不退我了。
