This platform asks you to pay 400€ for a code you will need to enter in order to transfer your money, but that this money is refundable. This amount of money then appears on your account on this website, leading you to believe that you can indeed get it back. Once you have requested the transfer of your money to your bank or PayPal account, it will keep telling you that it is still pending several hours later. If you ask them why that is the case, they will tell you that you need to pay for a subscription costing at least 650€ in order to be able to withdraw your money, and refuse to deduce this amount from the money in your account on this website.

They hired me as a freelancer through the platform UpWork, communicated with me [removed by editor] and gave me a very short deadline. Once I was done, the person told me to contact their payment manager who asked me to pay for a "freelancer ID card" in order to be paid and then pretended that payment via bank transfer and PayPal wasn't working and asked me to create an account on a platform called metroxtrustspay[removed by editor], on which they transferred my money. I then tried to transfer this money to my PayPal account but was asked to enter a code, which I did not have. They told me I had to pay 400€ in order to get one, but that it was refundable. I did, and the 400€ was then indeed added to the amount of money on my account on this website, and I was given a code. I was able to request to withdraw my money, but after a few hours, the transfer was still pending. I was then told that I had to pay for a subscription costing at least 650€ in order to withdraw my money. The person who hired me and the "payment manager" kept telling me to trust them and to pay. I did not, as I had given them 473€ and had lost any hope of ever getting paid for my work and refused to lose even more than I already did.
