Scam Alert: Fraudulent Websites and Job Offers Impersonating DesignCoil
These individuals are operating fraudulent websites and contacting people with fake work-from-home opportunities, “product optimization” jobs, “merchant task” jobs, and similar offers. These websites and individuals are not affiliated with DesignCoil in any way.
What the Scam Looks Like

- Text messages
- Telegram
- Social media
They are offered work-from-home opportunities that supposedly involve:
- Optimizing products
- Increasing sales

- Processing online orders
Initially, victims may receive small payments to build trust. Later, they are instructed to deposit money or cryptocurrency to:

- Complete additional tasks
This is a scam.
