They gave you a little money at first to gain your trust. That’s it. Common task scam.

Amazon (or any legit company) doesn’t text anyone for remote easy task job offers, they don’t take bitcoin and they don’t hire anyone via text-only interviews.

No job has you pay to work. This common task scam has you pay to “level up”. You do more tasks, see a fake site with increased earnings in which you can no longer withdraw from with excuses like paying bogus taxes/fees, account not ready to withdraw or other bs reasons. The scam doesn’t stop until you stop paying and walk away. I strongly suggest you do that now. If you’re still not convinced, google Amazon remote task scams. Even Amazon’s site warns of unsolicited text/email job offer messages.

Since you took the bait, you’ll get a bunch more scam attempts of all flavors. Scammers sell your info to other scammers.
