Attention to the Public:
We have received reports of fraudulent activities being conducted by individuals who are impersonating our company, Adchemist Digital. They are using the names 'Carmela Amihan' and 'Christine Basilisco' as their aliases, and they are claiming to be part of Adchemist Digital. Please be aware of the following details of their scam:
The scammers pretend to be members of our Human Resources Department and offer part-time or freelance work-from-home jobs, specifically targeting those interested in promoting business content on social media or YouTube. They claim to have obtained contact information from different job search platforms such as LinkedIn, Indeed, and Jobstreet.
Once the targets express interest, the scammers immediately register them and connect them to their 'Task Manager' on Telegram. After receiving a 'registration number,' the targets are asked to message the 'manager' immediately and send a screenshot of the message for 'official records.'
Once connected to the 'manager,' the scammers ask the targets to invest their own money for a task that involves promoting products on Shopee. The targets are promised a 10%-30% commission, but after completing the first task, the amount of orders they are asked to promote keeps increasing until they are forced to pay for it. At that point, the scammers remove the targets from the group, leaving them without their hard-earned money.
We have received screenshots and Gcash numbers from concerned citizens that serve as evidence of these scammers' activities. Please exercise caution and verify the authenticity of anyone who claims to represent our company. Our official representatives will always have proper identification and can be verified through official channels. Protect yourself from fraud by staying alert and vigilant.
