It was 2018 that Jonas saw an attractive job advertisement on social media.
A free job was promised where you could decide the times yourself and could work from home.
- I studied and needed a little extra money so it sounded interesting, he says.
- I thought it's stupid guys hanging around here, that I can not decide what to do with their money.
But it always felt a little silly, it was understood that it was about cheating people for money, he continues.
Police: May be illegal
According to Jan Olsson, crime commissioner at the National IT Crime Center, the scheme could violate the law.
- It is not unlikely that it would be classified as fraud.
In that case, the deception would be that it is not the woman the victim pays to chat with.
In that case, it would apply to the employer in the first place, but employees can also be suspected if it is possible to prove an intention to mislead.
Supervised by "coaches"
Jonas is actually called something else and wants to remain anonymous because he experienced the supervisors as aggressive and threatening.
SVT Nyheter has as far as possible checked that the information Jonas has provided is correct.
The site where you are looking for the job matches his description and the coaches' Skype accounts are registered on the platform according to the screenshots he has sent.
