With Shaina's full assurance, I decide to go for it. I complete the booking. And just like Shaina said, I get that extra 10% commission. And I can transfer that money to my bank account, like, right away. And, of course, the customer will be happy. And you're going to be happy also. You're going to congratulate the customer.

Shaina pulled through. The next day, I'd start work again, leaving those reviews while sitting on the couch. But after a few more reviews, that negative number would appear again. I'd be told I have to pay for another booking. Only this time, it was even more expensive. I'd ask Shana, wait, if I deposit this higher amount for this new booking, would that mean I'd get a higher commission?

By this point, I trust Shana. If she says do it, I do it. And eventually, I'd see the negative number again. But now, it's so high, I can't pay it with my own money. I tell Shaina, I don't know what to do. I don't have enough money to unlock my earnings.

Say I need $500, but I can only afford to pay $300.

Wow. Shana was offering to help me pay the deposit out of her own pocket, just so I could unlock my earnings.

But that would never happen. Eventually, when any of Jane's customers tried to get their money out, they couldn't.

The killing day. See, Jane was trained to build trust with her customers, to encourage them to add more and more money. It was all by design. Like pigs before the slaughter, she would fatten them up until the customer had no more money to give, until it was time for the kill. Of course, I'm not proud. I feel embarrassed to myself.

But there'd be punishment too if she didn't scam.
