Task & Social Media Engagement Scams

Task scams are often promoted as simple “like, follow, subscribe” jobs or online engagement work. At first, victims receive small payments for completing tasks. Later, they are pushed to deposit their own money to reach “higher levels” or “VIP tasks”, and end up losing everything they put in.

How this scam typically works
  • You are contacted on social media or messaging apps about an easy task job.
  • You are asked to join a group or platform to complete simple tasks (likes, follows, ratings).
  • You receive small rewards or see your “balance” increase on the platform.
  • Later, you are told that to unlock bigger commissions you must deposit your own money.
  • Each time you pay, new “requirements” appear, and withdrawal is always delayed.
  • When you stop paying or start asking questions, you may be blocked or removed.
Common red flags
  • Job is advertised as “no skills needed, high daily income, only a few clicks”.
  • All communication takes place inside private channels or chat groups.
  • You are pressured to invite friends and build “teams” to earn more.
  • The platform shows large balances but asks for extra fees before withdrawal.
  • Support staff refuse to give proper company details or registration information.
  • You are told not to tell your bank or family what you are doing.

What you should do right now
  1. Stop depositing any more money into the platform or sending payments to group admins.
  2. Take screenshots of your balance, transaction history, chat messages and group information.
  3. If you paid using a bank card or transfer, contact your bank and explain the situation.
  4. Leave the scam groups and block the people who are pressuring you to pay more.
  5. Report the scam to your local police or relevant fraud / cybercrime channel.
  6. Reach out to SafeHaven Solution for help reviewing your options and next steps.

Why task scams are particularly harmful

Task scams play on trust and urgency, making people feel that they are “just one payment away” from a big payout. Victims may borrow money, sell belongings or involve friends and family, which increases both the financial and emotional impact. Public embarrassment or shame can also stop people from asking for help early.

Quick tips
  • Be suspicious of jobs that mix “tasks” with “investments” or “top ups”.
  • If you cannot withdraw small amounts easily, treat it as a warning sign.
  • Never let strangers pressure you to borrow money or sell assets for a platform.
  • Talk to someone you trust if you feel trapped or ashamed — you are not alone.

If a task or social media job has turned into constant payment requests, act now — delaying usually makes the loss worse.
