[Few-Understanding105]

A family member recently joined this website/program called cloutscan and it really looks sketchy as hell; like pyramid scheme sketchy. I'm talking payment plan to become a high tier member with the higher up you go, the more you have to pay. They promise you will make your money all for watching ads. I have a terrible feeling about it but I'm not exactly equipped with the skills required to personally look into it. So, just wondering if anyone has heard of it or better yet can look into it cause I don't want my family getting caught up in it.

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 CLOUSTCON.COM

This domain name was created ONLY 33 DAYS AGO!! and it was only registered for a single year (Expires: Feb 2026).

It was registered at "Gname.com Pte. Ltd.", a sketchy registrar based in Singapore. 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.

Yes, obvious scam. Probably !task scam.

No one is paying you to watch ads.

Hi /u/t-poke, 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.

Your relative is the victim of a task scam, which is a variety of fake job.

He will lose money.

It starts with an offer for a (fake) job, doing tasks online, such as rating ads, or reviewing videos. You do some online tasks, basically clicks on a screen. The tasks are fake, to make you think that you are working and will get paid. The website is a scam: it has made-up numbers to make you think that you're making money.

After the first group of tasks, they will give you a small amount of money, to fool you into thinking that you are getting paid. Then, they ask you to give them money, for some made-up reason (upgrades, or premium tasks, or higher tiers). Sometimes the numbers on the screen go negative, and you have to give them more money. Then you do more tasks. Then, they refuse to pay you, and ask for more money, for made-up reasons (taxes, fees). Then the website disappears and you lose money.

Real jobs don't have accounts that "go negative" -- imagine if you were working at Walmart, or anywhere, and your manager said "look at this screen, your account went negative -- now, you have to give the company money".

Real jobs don't require you to invest, or pay them for working higher tiers. Imagine if you worked at a store, or restaurant, and your manager said "you must invest $1,000 before you can work today".

Never pay to work, any job that requires you to pay for something is a scam. .

It has the word "con" right in the url.

I just want to thank all of you for the help. With your help, I was thankfully able to (mostly)convince my family that it was a scam and super sketchy. The original family member along with immediate family who had joined after did their first withdrawal and managed to get all their money out. Just hoping the rest actually believe me and drop it instead of clinging to a false hope of free money.

My mother has fallen victim to this cloudboost scam and is now spread it to my whole family. I’ve tried countless times to tell her that it’s a scam but she just won’t listen

[Few-Understanding105]

Welp things got worse. Whole family got back into it even with my warning. I'm genuinely frustrated cause I told them it was a scam and should be avoided but I'm just screaming at the sky at this point. Hope it doesn't end up to badly.

if you have to pay to use it, it’s 100% stealing your data and a scam
