So a couple of days ago I received a text about a part time job. It didn’t say who it was from it just asked me if I would be interested in a part time job. I am searching for one, online. I am on indeed as well and I have the parameters set up but I never receive the correct ones from them anyway. I have tried to redo them and it doesn’t work. So some of the jobs that I have received are jobs that are not online and out of state, frustrating. But I did receive this random text so I texted back and received information about it through WhatsApp. The last time this happened, I had received something via LinkedIn but I found out later that it was selling vacations to people! This was last year. That job would have been popular before COVID and everything else, but not now. But that’s my opinion. So I received the information through what’s app and followed all of 30 minute training on my phone. Which is extremely convenient! You just have to have a smart phone. So they told me I had to set up my own account so I did but it was very tricky because they send you a code through your email and then you have to enter it in within 30 seconds!! Then it times out! And you have to resend it over and over! Then my Google email has been booting me out quite often lately. I believe their app for gmail isn’t working. So I have to go to the web browser or re-enter my gmail password into the app but I don’t have it memorized. So then I had to google my gmail to get in! Ugh! Finally I got it but then I didn’t see the small terms of service that you have to click on at the bottom! Finally I saw that and clicked that and I finally had my account set up. Then what I had to do was rate products. You have to rate products but new people can only rate two sets of 40 products per day. But since I was in training I had to use the trainers account. So that trainer gets paid ALOT of money to rate products. I did 40 and she got like 400$ for them that a new person doesn’t get to keep, or was it 700$? These products are worth different amounts of money and the commission that you get is .6% for rating each one, 4 stars. It has to be 4 stars and you don’t have to write anything. Easy! There are some that are worth more at 6% not .6%. There is a difference! So in order to rate these you have to have money in your account with them and I got a training pass of 70$ that the company gave me. During the training, when I was using her account, she had a lot of money in there already. And then a product rating worth the 6% came up and I had to contact customer service to receive more money in her account in order to rate the product. So the money was sent into her account and then I rated it. I got done with all 40 products and then she told me that she was taking the money for the products that I rated. Sad! But it didn’t take me long and couldn’t I do that too?! So then I set up my account and started rating products. These products looked like they were the products that you could order out of the back of magazines. Does anyone remember these?? Like the fishing or hunting magazines that my grandfather would always look at, there were and maybe still are things in the back that had small pics and descriptions that you can send off for. Strange and interesting things that I wondered if they were real. Like slippers for old people that they wear shopping. Ugly scarves and special toothbrushes to take hunting. Anyway that’s what these things looked like. So a product came up, right when I was almost done!, that was worth too much for me to rate. She sprung on me that I would have to buy bitcoin in order to rate it! Bitcoin?? I have heard of this currency but it isn’t real, correct?? So then I was supposed to buy bitcoin on an exterior website and send it to my account and then I could rate the item. And then I would get the money and transfer it back to the exterior, bitcoin account. But how many times will that happen? Bitcoin is a product on the stock market that one can invest in right? Isn’t there something bad happening with bitcoin lately?? Maybe I am misunderstanding. Anyway I will buy bitcoin at what the shares are worth right now and then rate my item. Then what if the value of bitcoin plummets while I am rating the product?? Then when I pay back into bitcoin, the same amount that I bought, I will owe bitcoin because the value went down. You buy a certain number worth a certain amount then the value plummets so that same amount that you bought is now worth less. So you have to pay them more money to make up the difference at bitcoin. No, she did not explain this to me or advise me in this. When I was in middle school there were books at the library about how the stock market works and isn’t the same?? No I am not saying that it is so simple a middle schooler could learn it! The stock market has always been around so why shouldn’t I take to time to learn about it? So I asked if I could bypass that item and continue to rate the ones that are worth less. Then I could save up the money in my account for the larger ones later. I also asked if I could just send money day in from my own checking account. She didn’t answer the question but apologized for wasting my time and I couldn’t keep this job. I guess I can’t use my money, it had to be bitcoin. I don’t think that we should have to buy bitcoin in order to have a job. I wondered if the company uses its employees to make money off of bitcoin, right?? When the employee had to buy bitcoin to rate a product for their merchant then the bitcoin is bought under who? Is it my personal name? Is it the company’s name? Then bitcoin receives more value because someone is buying it, but it’s a false currency. I would of had to buy 50$ worth of bitcoin to rate this product. She gave the excuse that many people do this so it’s just fine. Not really!
