Start your free case assessmentHow job & task scam works
Job and 'task' scams advertise easy remote work — rating products, 'optimising' apps, completing task sets — that appears to earn commission. To 'unlock' a withdrawal you must top up your own balance, and the demands escalate until you stop.
Warning signs
- Being paid to do trivial 'tasks'
- Needing to deposit your own money to continue
- A 'mentor' in a chat group urging top-ups
- Withdrawals blocked behind a bigger deposit
- Recruitment via an unsolicited message
The recovery framework in Serbia
In Serbia, the bodies and rules most relevant to your case are:
| Financial regulator | National Bank of Serbia (NBS) |
|---|---|
| Dispute resolution / ombudsman | NBS — Financial Consumer Protection Department (no standalone ombudsman) |
| Currency | RSD |
| SEPA zone | yes |
Visa/Mastercard chargebacks under scheme rules. Serbia joined SEPA schemes (geographic scope May 2025; banks operational from 2026), reducing euro-transfer costs. NBS supervises banks/payments and enforces consumer protection.
If you paid a bank in Serbia — for example Banca Intesa Beograd, OTP banka Srbija or Raiffeisen banka Beograd — contact its fraud team as soon as possible, as a recall is far more likely while the money is still there.
Can you get your money back?
For job & task scam cases in Serbia, the primary route is usually crypto tracing & recovery. Crypto tracing follows funds across the blockchain from your wallet, through intermediary addresses, to the exchange or service where they are cashed out — producing an evidenced trail for that exchange and law enforcement.
Where the facts allow, we also pursue wire / swift recovery as a secondary route.
Top-ups are usually crypto, so blockchain tracing to the cash-out point is the main route, supported by a regulator report. Prompt evidence preservation is essential.
Evidence to gather now
The stronger your evidence, the better your prospects. For job & task scam, gather:
- The platform/app and the group chats
- All top-up transactions (often crypto)
- Screenshots of your 'earnings' balance
- Recruiter and 'mentor' contacts
- Any contract or onboarding messages
The recovery process
- Free assessment. We review how, when and to whom the funds were sent.
- Evidence pack. We assemble transaction records, communications and platform details.
- Action. We initiate the relevant route — crypto tracing & recovery or wire / swift recovery — and engage the bank, provider or exchange.
- Escalation. Where needed, we escalate to NBS — Financial Consumer Protection Department (no standalone ombudsman) or National Bank of Serbia (NBS).
Why acting fast matters
Tracing is possible at any time, but freezes and exchange cooperation are easier before funds are withdrawn or laundered. Recovery prospects fall sharply once funds are withdrawn or moved across borders, so the sooner you start, the stronger your position. Even older cases can be worth assessing — but do not wait to find out.
