SCAM ALERT: Fraudulent Job Offers Misusing Our Company Name
Updated 2025-04-21
We have been alerted to an online scam in which individuals impersonate Uplink Laboratories (sometimes called "Uplink Labs" or "Uplink Lab" in the scammer's messages) and offer fake remote job opportunities involving cryptocurrency and so-called “AI computing power” work.
Uplink Laboratories does not offer jobs of any kind.
Our company is a small private LLC used solely for independent contracting work. We are not hiring, we do not offer remote work to the public, and we have no connection whatsoever to cryptocurrency, AI training, or blockchain projects.
If you were contacted via LinkedIn, WhatsApp, SMS, or email with:
- Job offers from “Olivia” or similar contacts
- Promises of high earnings for “computing power work”
- Links to websites like
uplinkrate.top - Instructions to send money in crypto (e.g., USDC) to unlock tasks or receive payment
You are being targeted by a scam.
We strongly recommend:
- Do not send money or cryptocurrency to anyone claiming to represent us.
- Cease all communication with the scammer.
- Report the incident to the FTC at https://reportfraud.ftc.gov, and your local authorities if funds were lost.
- If crypto was transferred, contact your wallet provider or exchange immediately to report fraud.
For clarity:
- ✅ We do not hire.
- ✅ We have no job application system.
- ✅ We are not involved in AI or crypto.
- ✅ We are not affiliated with
uplinkrate.topor any similarly named website.
Please stay safe and skeptical — and feel free to refer others to this notice if they ask.
