He wanted to get a report about 30,000 words on Women's Health Agenda translated into Urdu. He sent me pdf of project along with guidelines. When I finished the project and sent him they appreciate me and gave me an email [email protected] and told me to send at this. I sent the project to the email provided, then they sent me a link www.oakmadok.org and told me to create an account on given website then contact any Mr. David James https://t.me/Davidj1231 on telegram, after creating an account I contact Mr. David they debited amount on oakmadok quickly.
But the real game begins here. When I tried to withdraw money, I found out that it was a fake website. When I clicked on withdraw asked to provide IBT code, I contacted David for the code they asked me $250 for this. I tried for wire transfer there is first and mandatory dropdown ‘select the bank’ but that list is empty.
The purpose of this detailed discussion is that scammers have now started targeting freelancers, so we all need to be careful. ▲ Collapse

No NDA, a very strange contract form.
Sent the translation, and got an email from Inkwell:

Dear, Cesar
We are pleased to provide you with access to our payment portal. Kindly click on the link below and create a wallet on the portal. This will enable us to initiate the payment to your wallet, which can then be withdrawn to your local bank account.
Oakmadokholdings.org
Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this process, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Our team is readily available to provide any assistance you may require.
Best regards
Inkwell Press Publications
Then I got asked contact David James on telegram to receive help to create a "Wallet" in Oakmadokholdings.org
I did, and this David, asks me if I have recieved payment, "if so, you can directly withdraw the money"
But it turns out, you have to buy an IBT Code for 250USD that is needed to transfer the money to a real bank account. They will be reinbursed he says...
I am pretty sure this is a SCAM, and I will never see payment.
But has anyone gone through the entire process? ▲ Collapse
