I was told I could not withdraw my earnings unless I funded another crypto task

I responded to what looked like a job opportunity and was told I could earn commission by viewing ads and completing crypto-contract tasks. I received a small payment at first, which made the arrangement seem legitimate.

The issue started when I was required to deposit money to complete "node tasks." I paid $116, but the final task required another $890. I was told that if I did not pay, I could not receive a withdrawal code or access the $1,212 shown as earnings. I stopped because I could not afford to keep depositing money.
