Is starkrockproject.com Legit?

Recently I got this offer by a person on fivver,he asked my email though it already on the webbut i still give my emailthey sent me an assignment, translation project within 4 days after I finished,i haven't got any reply yet,later after 4 or 5 days i got an email that my assignment have been submitted and successand they told me to chat the payment manager on telegram which i obey but suddenly they need to linked my bank account with $80 feels strange for me

SCAM!Watch out for Jonathan Underhill on Facebook who says he also works for this company.You get your project, sign the same contract that this company offers and set up a Telegram account, then once you hand in the project, they set you up with Great City Commercial Bank. Then you get asked to pay for a VAT Code, then you have to pay for KYC (Know Your Customer) fee, then a BOT Code (US Dollars)!You never see the money they promised!STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE!!!!

SCAM, I didn't go so far as my colleagues in the previous reviews but the clues where quite evident: asking for many personal info but getting rude when I was asking about them; their website has fake address and telephone number. On FB they told me: "Kindly contact the project manager via telegram for more information about work details and to get started [link to telegram] Telegram Contact: @julie_maddy"But they wouldn't share any info about their company.On telegram their "manager" was avoiding any question regarding their company, plus trying to manipulate by putting pressure "are you here for work??"Thanks for the previous reviews, they were helpful

They contacted me through Fiverr. I am an Architect and 3D modeler, they asked me to design a home, they gave me a program of needs in a pdf that made me doubt the professionalism of the "company" but I decided to go ahead because they promised a sum of 5,000 usd and the deadline to complete it. The work was 4 days. I decided to take the risk. Send 2 files, a skp and a dwg. Then they told me that I had to create an account on a website, a "virtual bank account" called ELITE COMMERCE ASSETS, they deposit money there, you see the payment reflected but you cannot withdraw it because they ask for a VAT code and this is so that They ask you for 200 USD to a bank account in Argentina, my place of origin. It appears that they are professional SCAMMERS.

To any freelancers who “Stark Rock” contacts: stay away from them. I received an inquiry via freelancermap and proceeded to exchange emails with an alleged project manager. However, the information and responses he had for me were all so vage, I knew it had to be a scam.A closer look on their website “starkrockprojects” made me even more suspicious, as I doubt their phone number is +100000000 and their address 123 Business Centre or something.Lastly, you can literally not find any information on them, their company, their team or their projects on Google, which is just very unusual. And the other reviews here on trustpilot confirmed my doubts.Unfortunately, I have to give at least a star, but I’d rather give 0.

Very negative experience!! It is scam even if they use formal language and try to convince you to pay a fee in order to receive your payment. Avoid them!!!!

Total scam. They hire you as freelancer just to take your 80$.Here is how:1- Find a newly-started freelancer on fiverr Contact them for a project and use formal language, like "We need a translator who can work with tight schedules."They will be convinced by the professional tone, making them think the job offer is legitimate.2- Give them a Telegram username for further contact.This method takes the communication off-platform, reducing Fiverr’s ability to track or intervene in the conversation.3- Change your persona on Telegram and act as a female project manager.They shift their identity to seem more trustworthy or relatable, playing on the psychology of the freelancer.4- Give them a book or some document to translate from English into their native language, and offer an unusually generous amount of money.This attractive offer is bait to lure the freelancer into believing this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.5- Set a short deadline, but make the timeline absurdly flexible.The deadline creates urgency, but by being lenient, they make it seem like they are very understanding, further building trust.6- Use the website starkrockproject as a reference (this is the most important part) because it looks somewhat professional, even though it doesn’t have a proper phone number (it shows something like 123 00000).The website adds a veneer of professionalism, tricking the freelancer into believing the scam is a legitimate operation.7- If the person contacts the website to verify whether the Telegram contact is actually their project manager, “Assure them that she is indeed the project manager!”They've already prepared for potential verification checks, reinforcing the scam's legitimacy with this step.8- Wait for them to finish the job.The freelancer works hard on the project, believing they will be paid generously for their work.9- Shortly after, like 40 minutes later, review the translation and say, "Congratulations, you are approved."This swift approval creates excitement and relief, as the freelancer believes they have successfully secured the deal.10- Then, forward them to another contact (again on Telegram).Introducing new "staff members" adds complexity, making it harder to pinpoint who is responsible for payment issues.11- Impersonate an accountant to handle the payment.They use this new identity to further legitimize the transaction process.12- Ask for their bank account or any type of account where the money can be transferred.At this point, they pretend to initiate the payment, making the freelancer feel reassured that the funds are on their way.13- I gave them an Iyzico account, and they agreed to it. However, Iyzico doesn’t actually offer such a service!This shows they are flexible and willing to work around different payment methods, but in reality, they are setting up the freelancer for a scam.14- Then I gave them my bank account, and they sent me the payment, including a receipt with a wet signature!!!The fake receipt is meant to give the freelancer a false sense of security, tricking them into believing the transaction is legitimate.15- But after six days, there was no activity in my bank account, so I contacted them again.The delay is part of the scam, as they hope the freelancer will either give up or not pursue the matter further.16- They forwarded me to yet another person (allegedly from a "payment server service").The introduction of a fake "payment service" is just another layer of deception designed to prolong the scam.17- Finally, they asked for $85 for some vague reason.This is where the scam becomes obvious, as they request money instead of making any actual payments to the freelancer.At this point, it was clear they were scammers (I had already learned their technique online), so I heavily cursed them and gave them a piece of my mind, then I shared with you.Telegram fake usernames:@Brendabenn@paymentserverfx1
