They pinged on Whatsapp first asking if Id be interested in a part time social media job. When I said yes, they asked me download telegram and added me to groups. Once that was done they gave tasks to follow Social media profiles. And then they said there are tasks that are prepaid. First they asked for 1k. They gave back 1400 after task compeltetion. Once that was done another set of social media links . Then for another task, they asked for 7 k. I gave and when it was the task, they said I made a mistake. So for that they made me pay 24K if I wanted my money back. I gave them that also. They said the task was in 2 stage prepaid so I had to pay another 63k. Being an idiot. I gave them that by gathering the amount from my friends. Now after all that they are saying that I have to pay another 2.4 lakh as a withdrawal amount. When i denied and fought they kept on urging to pay the amount. I have lost quite the amount of money because of my idiocy. I hope to get that back my some means

Even I faceed the problem. I stopped after paying 7K. Next they asked for 38k. I stopped and threaten them of filing police case. They are well prepared. I got reply from there receptionist. Just go thru this.
Receiptionist reply;-
Now is the rule of law society. Be reasonable everywhere. You come to us to pick up the task. We also promise to pay back immediately after the task is completed. Now you are not done. It’s not our fault that we didn’t refund the money in time when you were done. Even if you submit it to the legal department for verification, you are not cooperating with us. You’d think we’ve been in this business for so long. If there were lies, we would be accused early on. If you can’t get paid for completing tasks, you can always call the police, dare I say it!
I have faced the same issue. Now they are asking me to pay 1 lakh. Is there any way to recover the money?
No idea what to do recover our money .
No way. You can’t get single penny also.
I just faced lost around 8 laks in total…. To talk devastated, They are still asking topay 6.5 laks
First they contacted me, about the part time job so i enquire and they provided a demo to follow some particular Instagram account then they paid me 210 rs for this immediately, then they added me in a group and give prepaid task and i deposited 7k, but during task they said that i made mistake and then need to pay 36k so i paid again they said that one more step to withdrawal and need to pay 98k and again i paid because task was doing in group of 4 and other guise are paying so i trusted other member but agin said that this is last step and have to pay 264000 and other 3 guies paid but i dint paid, they urges me for long time to pay and withdraw the amount of 544110 …so i asked from other guies they sent me receipt that they got the money so i also paid 264000 anyway by taking loans from bank.. and completed the pending task as given from them ..but when i said about the money than they said yes its processed. And after sometime they said your money stuck in account and need to do security risk verification and need to pay 4 lac of amount. They have looted me completely and ruined my life, i dont have enough money left do do FIR or any action , lot of EMI burden
Yea I also took loans and kept wife jewelery .how to recover our capital money any suggestions. Reply me
I have lost 80000. These people are asking me to pay 250000 to withdraw with profit. These people are frauds. There is no customer care on the trading websites not an option to withdraw your money. It just shows an option of UPI once u enter the details it will only circle.
Oh my God!!!! Thank god I was saved because of you people. I too got all the same messages same tasks and everything I also invested 1000rs but as soon as transferred the money I had a very bad gut feeling that something is wrong. I just wanted my 1k back. Not even the extra income because I come from a middle-class family. My family depends on me and every rupee counts for me. I did everything they asked me to. While doing that, I browsed the net to learn about the link they provided. And then this appeared. Oh my god, I was so scared that bitch literally tricked me. Extra income ke chakkar me meri toh band wali thi yar… But 1 thing was common in all your testimonies “They cleared the first payment”. So I felt a bit positive and I waited patiently. Luckily I received an amount of 1620 and soon after I received that amount I blocked them and logged out of all the sites and unfollowed all the pages they asked me to follow. LESSON LEARNT INDEED. I’m really very sorry you people didn’t realize it sooner but thank you very much for making me aware of it. I just pray to god that those M*****F*****S get caught and they pay the price for all of your losses. People are investing like crazy in that group. We need to be very wise as to where we invest our money. Never chose a shortcut root to earn money. NEVER!!!
