Job hunters chasing remote “programming” or task work sometimes land on review hubs such as otzyvovnet.com, where brands like EE Coding (also styled with long corporate-sounding names) look busy and beloved. Critical comments, victims say, simply never appear. That should already raise an eyebrow: open review sites that only publish praise are closer to brochureware than to consumer forums.
The employment story that follows is a classic task or advance-fee job scam. You complete small assignments, a dashboard shows wages building up, then payroll stalls until you remit “income tax”, a verification fee or a balance top-up — often to a personal card or wallet that does not match any company details in the contract. Legitimate employers withhold tax from wages they pay you; they do not ask you to pre-fund the tax office through an unknown private account. Consumer agencies put the rule bluntly: never pay someone so you can get paid.
Verify the company through registers and an official careers page you typed yourself, not through the review portal that recruited you. Refuse any request to send money, buy crypto for “tasks”, or unlock a withdrawal. If you already paid, stop the next transfer, warn your bank, and use Get help. People who then offer to claw the money back for another fee are running Fake recovery.
