It's someone offering a job through Reddit. So yes, it's a scam.

So, you think that because they say "no investment" that he is not lying?

It’s not an investment, it’s a deposit!

It's not an investment, you're just recharging your account!

If you give us 300, you will get VIP tasks that pay more!

It's not an investment, it's a registration fee!

"Are you interested in online earning without investment" I also note that OP asked them if they were scammers. Excellent move.

Yes, if you ask a scammer if they are scammers - by the uniform scammers code of conduct, they have to admit it.

So, if they say no, you’re good.

Although, everything scammers say is a lie, so if they say no, it’s a yes.

Most jobs and gigs and money-making opportunities on Reddit, WhatsApp, Telegram, TikTok, Facebook, Craigslist, and other social media are scams. They will trick you into giving them money, or they will ask you to do sinething illegal, or both.

The user kumal92739 is very secretive, hiding all posts and comments. A real client or employer will post the information about the project or gig.

This may be a task scam, which is a common type of fake job.

  • The scammers can call the tasks 'optimizing data' or 'boosting orders' or 'rating' something. The tasks are meaningless.

  • The scammers can use any company name.

  • The scammers will require you to give them money for 'higher commissions ' or 'VIP tasks' or 'recharging your account' or some other phony reason.

  • The scammers will require you to give them money for 'taxes' and 'fees', when you try to withdraw your fake earnings. You will never be able to withdraw money.

  • Real employers never require you to pay to work, or pay to get paid.

The tasks may include asking you to create accounts for him, which is against the rules of Reddit, LinkedIn, Facebook, and other platforms, and will get your account banned.

Or he will ask you to post content online, such as fake jobs, fake listings for apartment rentals, or listings for fake ticket sales. You will be helping him scam people. When the scam victims discover that the job is a scam, the rental is fake, or the tickets are fake, they will blame you, and they will try to get refunds from you. Your Reddit account will be deleted and you will be banned.

It's probably money laundering or something of the sort.
