Don't Fall for this Task App Scam!

Have you seen messages telling about a cool job opportunity? Did it sound too good to be true? This is the Task App scam and in this video I'll tell you how it works and how to avoid it!

If everyone is organised enough with fake IDs, unique email addresses, wallet addresses etc, you could potentially farm these scammers for their $50. Might be worth a try? Nice move for reporting their website.... always great to disrupt these criminals.
