How Revolut files CIFAS markers for task scheme recruitment
Our client was recruited online for what appeared to be a legitimate task-based job — liking videos, completing surveys, and rating content. The scheme escalated to requiring 'top-up payments' through their Revolut account, with promises of higher returns. When the client deposited and forwarded funds as instructed, Revolut flagged the transactions and filed a Misuse of Facility marker. The client had been drawn into a sophisticated task scam that mimics legitimate gig economy work.
