If someone has reached out to you offering a part-time job with “ipullrankwork” or “ipullrankstart” (or any other similar name) paying a few thousand dollars a month for completing a list of daily “tasks,” please stop and read this before you send anyone another dollar.
It’s not us.
We recently heard from people who had been told they could earn a steady income doing simple online tasks under our name, only to end up victims of a scam.
We want you to hear directly from us: this was not iPullRank, and we’re sorry if you were put through it.
This Is What Happened
The scammer stole our company name, logo and content to make their websites look creditable (www.ipullrankwork.com for example, though we’ve found others with similar names and more might be popping up), but there are additional banners on top that are not ours and all the links lead you to a login page that we do not maintain.
If you’ve been asked to pay any kind of fee, tax, or “verification” cost to release money you supposedly earned, you are being scammed. We would never ask employees or contractors for money.
Learn to See the Signs
This scam follows a pattern that shows up across dozens of fake “task job” schemes, not just the ones using our name. A few signs to watch for:
- The job found you. Legitimate roles at iPullRank don’t arrive as unsolicited messages promising a fixed daily payout for repetitive clicking or “tasks.” We hire through a real process with several interviews with various people on our team.
- You’re asked to pay to earn. Any job that requires you to deposit your own money to unlock commissions, tiers, or withdrawals is not a job.
- Withdrawals require more deposits. No legitimate platform asks you to pay a “verification fee,” “tax,” or “unlock fee” before releasing money that’s supposedly already yours.
- The link looks close enough to real, but isn’t. Scammers register domains that resemble a real company’s name, closely enough to pass a quick glance. If you’re ever unsure whether a link or contact is really from us, come to our actual website directly and check, rather than trusting the link you were sent.
None of this works without real financial pressure behind it. Scammers targeting part-time job seekers are going after students, people between jobs, or people desperate to cover their bills. Remember, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Be Especially Careful With AI in the Mix
This isn’t just a “watch out for shady texts” problem anymore. The tools scammers use to build these operations have gotten sharper, faster, and more convincing than they were even a couple of years ago thanks to AI.
AI can quickly create a polished-looking landing page, generate a believable company backstory, write customer support scripts, and even hold a semi-natural conversation as a “mentor” or recruiter. A scam website can now borrow a real company’s name, logo, and tone convincingly enough that a quick glance won’t tell you anything’s wrong.
Verify through channels you control, not the ones provided by the scammer. Go to a company’s actual website by typing the address yourself, call a published phone number, search for the company plus the word “scam” and see what comes up, and treat any job that asks you to pay to work, or pay to withdraw, as a scam.
We're Sorry to Anyone This Has Happened To
If you’ve been targeted by someone using our name, we’re genuinely sorry. It’s an awful position to be in to realize that money you needed, and maybe money you borrowed, went to people who never had any intention of paying you back. That’s not a small thing so we won’t minimize it.
We are not affiliated with any part-time task job, any platform requiring deposits, or any “mentor” reaching out about work on our behalf. If you’re ever unsure whether an offer, email, or message claiming to be from iPullRank is real, reach out to us directly through our official site and ask (or find one of us on LinkedIn). We’d rather answer that question a hundred times than have one more person lose money to someone pretending to be us.
If you’ve already sent money and are trying to figure out next steps, consider filing a report with the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (ic3.gov), and loop in your bank or payment provider as soon as possible.
We’ve alerted the authorities and our legal team and we’re doing all we can to put an end to this scam. In the meantime, please be careful and vigilant.
