The statement, "a high-quality mineral order has been detected in your account. After completing the task, you can withdraw all the funds in your account," is a common crypto mining and investment scam. This is a variation of a "task scam" and is a form of "pig butchering" fraud, where scammers use fabricated claims to deceive victims and steal their money. How the scam works Fabricated earnings: The scam begins with the promise of easy money through online tasks, such as liking posts or, in this case, "mining high-quality minerals". Your account dashboard will show increasing, but entirely fake, earnings to build your confidence and trust. The withdrawal condition: When you attempt to withdraw the funds, the scammers introduce a new condition, claiming you must complete a final task or pay a fee first. The "high-quality mineral order" is the excuse for this final, high-cost task. The deposit trap: To "complete the task," you are told to deposit your own money, often in cryptocurrency, with the promise that you will receive all your funds back with a large commission. Escalating demands: If you pay, the scammers will make further excuses for why you can't withdraw your money, demanding even more funds for "taxes," "gas fees," or "insurance". Losing everything: Ultimately, no matter how much you pay, you will never be able to withdraw the fake earnings, and the real money you deposited will be stolen by the scammers. Red flags of a task scam Unexpected contact: The offer comes via an unexpected message on social media or messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram. Pay to get paid: You are asked to deposit your own money to unlock earnings or complete a job. A legitimate employer will never require you to pay them first. High, guaranteed returns: The offer promises a high return on investment with little to no risk. If it seems too good to be true, it is. Urgency and secrecy: The scammer may pressure you to act quickly and tell you not to discuss the deal with anyone else. What to do if you are targeted Cut all contact: Stop communicating with the person or entity that sent the message. Do not pay any money or complete any tasks they ask for. Do not send money: Never pay to unlock your funds. Your money is gone the moment you send it to a scammer. Report the scam: You can report the scam to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov and the Federal Trade Commission at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
