Definitely a scam, sorry to say.

I applied online, can't remember the site but the company is registered on companies house

This is like pulling teeth, how did you become aware of the site in question?

I paid the £150 via Coinbase

Oh, so no route of recourse there, then.
That money is lost.
Don't send any more.

kayleabro

Do you know of any organisations that might be able to help get my money back ?

TadleyBaggie

Trying another tack, do you have a copy of the contract you (presumably) signed? I'm guessing the laws are not one of the UK regions?

kayleabro

The T&C's do say the company is covered by UK law

TadleyBaggie

Pretty sure UK law doesn't exist, it would have to England/Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, as each region makes their own laws.

Saw something similar on one of the scam baiting YT channels. (Think it was Kitboga)

They draw in you by paying a small amount for fake reviews (which they do actually pay out) but this then leads to you paying for acess to bigger/better paying “opportunities” which either don’t exist or are impossible to complete.

OP - can you reveal who the “employer” is and the exact nature of the work

Jim Browning had one a couple of weeks ago - https://youtu.be/AC6Bar_DxaM?si=jYOnxI3EUHnZKozp

As has already been said, unfortunately this looks like a certain scam, do not be tempted to send more money to try to get the original amount back.  Very annoying to lose any amount to scammers, but be grateful it isn’t a much larger figure.
