Karine T.
Alert! Online Scammer!
Hi, I was contacted by WhatsApp with a job offer under the name of Searchbloom to work online doing some tasks, so I would receive a payment per day of work in USDT (Cryptocoins). The job would be on the SearchBloom platform, I would need to complete 40 tasks per day, submitting products for optimization of them as a way of Business to the company and then I would receive it in Credits in USDT on that account and I could send to a Cyptocurrency platform to sell and get the cash back on my Revolut account. For my "training" I added EUR 19.00 and I was able to get EUR 21.46 back after completing the tasks. But then, on my 2nd day of work, when doing the tasks I received a combined products evaluation, which they would call combo products and it would make my balance on the account to go negative, to recover this negative amount I was asked to deposit EUR214.00 to cover the amount that was negative from my account and then be able to finish the tasks and recover the whole amount with the profit + the payment of my 1st 2day set. Then I did the payment of this amount, but again, before I finished my task 26th, my balance got negative in USDT 580.00. Then, as I didn't have this much money to put on it, I added only EUR200.00, then Mireya, who was training me as my guide, said she would add USDT109.00 and ask for help to get the rest of the amount. It was one day before I noticed it was a scam, and until now she hasn't got this help and I didnt put more money on it. This woman who was guiding me asked to communicate via Telegram during the training and all the communication in the last day was done there. There was even a group of around 23, 24ppl in Telegram some of them encouraging us to do the deposits to get the tasks done and then receive the moneu, and some other who were as victims as I was. I do have many prints with the explanation of the scheme and prints of the training and platforms used either to do the tasks or to exchange the money. I also have screenshots of the numbers from the group, so if anyone is falling on the same scheme I advice to do the same and come by here and in Reditt to report them. And alway be careful, I lost around €400.00 in this scam, bu I believe there are people who have lost bigger amounts and I hope this report helps to avoid more people falling on the same scheme. DO Never believe that there is easy money, or that you need to pay to receive from an offered job on WhatsApp or Telegram... I fell for it because I was in a fragile moment of my life... and I hope it does not happen to other people who has the dream of online Work. Keep safe! Thank you for your attention!
Response from SearchbloomJan 14, 2026
Karine, I am very sorry this happened to you, and I appreciate you taking the time to warn others. To be very clear, this was not Searchbloom. We did not contact you, we do not recruit through WhatsApp or Telegram, and we do not offer task based work, crypto payments, deposits, or training fees of any kind. Searchbloom is a legitimate digital marketing agency based in the United States, and we only hire through verified channels on our website and established job platforms. What you experienced is a well known impersonation scam where bad actors misuse real company names to gain trust. Unfortunately, we have seen this happen to other reputable companies as well. We have reported similar incidents in the past and actively work to shut these down when they surface. You can also see our public response on Reddit where we clarified this situation and warned others after becoming aware of it. We are truly sorry that our name was used in this way and that you were harmed financially. No legitimate employer will ever ask someone to send money, deposit funds, or receive payment through cryptocurrency as part of a job. Your warning is important and may help others avoid the same experience. If you are able, we recommend reporting this to your local authorities and relevant fraud reporting agencies so it can be investigated further. If you would like to share any details with us directly, you may contact us through our official website so we can include it in our ongoing reports against these impersonators. Thank you again for speaking up, and I sincerely wish you the best moving forward. Cody Jensen CEO & Founder, Searchbloom
