Paying the subscription fee to register on browsing sites is impermissible. The transaction is فاسدة (corrupt/invalid) and must be annulled. You must return what your friend paid you, and there is no harm in accepting his voluntary waiver of a portion of the amount. You are entitled to claim back from the owners of the fictitious company what you paid them, and what you received from them is part of your right. You are also entitled to a fair wage (أجرة المثل) for the period you worked.
