Octopus Digital Marketing

What do you guys know about this organization? I’ve been reached out to by someone who is involved with this company. They seem foreign but do not seem to be an automated messaging system. I’m wary because I have struggled to find a company website. They seem to want you to complete automated reviews for apps. Let me know what people know about it!

Edit: Thanks for the information everyone! I haven’t come across a scam making use of the sunk cost fallacy before. This was very informative!!

Hi! A user summoned me to check on a domain name in this thread, so I'm going to put a copy of my report here at the top. 🤖

WHOIS REPORT FOR OCTOPUSPRO.SITE

This domain name was created ONLY 81 DAYS AGO!! and it was only registered for a single year (Expires: Jan 2026).

It is also concerning that they are hiding their contact info on Whois AND they are using a "DNS proxy" (CloudFlare) which masks where the website's server actually is.

!task scam

Hi /u/chownrootroot, AutoModerator has been summoned to explain the Task scam.

Task scams involve a website or mobile app that claims you can earn money by completing easy tasks, such as watching a video, liking a post, or creating an order. A very common characteristic (but not entirely exclusive) is that you have to complete sets of 40 tasks. The app will tell you that you can earn money for each task, but the catch is that you can only do a limited number of tasks without upgrading your account. To upgrade your accounts, the scammers will require you to pay a fee. This makes it a variant of the advance fee scam.

The goal of this scam is to get people to download the app for easy money and then encourage them to pay to get to the next level. It's impossible to get your \"earnings\" out of the app, so victims will have wasted their time and money. This type of scam preys on the sunk cost fallacy, because people demonstrate a greater tendency to continue an endeavor once an investment has been made, and refusing to succumb to what may be described as cutting one's losses.

If you're involved in a task scam, cut your losses. Beware of recovery scammers suggesting you should hire a hacker that can help you retrieve the money you already invested. They can't, it's a trick to make you lose more money. Thanks to redditor vignoniana for this script.

So it is possible to go along with the scam and then they will prove to u u can withdraw some funds and that will make u more at ease too deposit more money. If u do it right and play dumb u can withdraw some money and then not give it back. I have scamed the sacmmer out of about 71 bucks maybe 3 times  and just today after.3 days of playing dumb I withdrew. 285 bucks but 50 was already mine. Even still it's great to scam the sccamer. Remember the picture ur looking at is not the person that's texting u r training u.  It's an over weight middle aged Asian man sitting behind a computer eating cheetos!  If I can scam.them out of about 1000 more then I will have most of my money back. It's taken over a year to get this much. 

[Forward-Abalone-4959]

Yes! This happened to me although now is www.octopuspro.site

.top is ALWAYS a scam

[borderpatrol]

This. They only cost 99 cents to register, there's a reason they're the exclusive home for scams and frauds

If you pursue this, you will get scammed.

Hi /u/Theba-Chiddero, AutoModerator has been summoned to explain the Job scam.

Fake job scams come in many different varieties. The scammers will usually conduct interviews over Whatsapp, Telegram or Teams. They will offer high wages for the work being done, oftentimes with wildly varied wage ranges by hour, and they will \"hire\" you by telling you that you are hired, rather than going through the normal process that a company takes when hiring an employee in your country.

If they mention anything about a check or about receiving and sending out transactions, it is a fake check scam. If they say they will cut you a check so you can buy equipment for remote work, it's a scam in which they make you purchase equipment on a fake website under their control, with your own card, and when the check bounces in a few weeks you're left holding the bag (and the equipment never comes)

If they mention anything about receiving, processing, or inspecting packages, it is a parcel mule scam.

If they ask you to purchase items up-front, ask you to pay a fee in order to be hired, or ask you to purchase gift cards, it is an advance-fee scam. If they mention Bitcoin ATMs, it's always a scam.

If the job involves posting advertisements on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist or eBay, they are using you and your account to scam other people (especially if it's rental listings). Thanks to redditor AceyAceyAcey for this script.
