I am writing to report that I have been the victim of a scam on the global chat platform Telegram channel. The incident began when I received a message on WhatsApp inviting me to participate in an online part-time job that involved liking videos for a payment of 50 rupees per like. I completed this task for one day, after which I was transferred to a Telegram channel. Upon joining, I was introduced to a receptionist who directed me to a group where I received tasks. Subsequently, the receptionist introduced me to a tutor who assigned tasks for me to complete.
To participate in this online job, I was instructed to invest 5,000 INR initially, followed by 20,000 INR, 60,000 INR, and then 1,20,000 INR. I completed all the tasks as instructed, but I was then asked to submit an additional 2,00,000 INR due to my low credit rating. Despite completing all the tasks and investing a significant amount of money, the group is now refusing to release my earnings.
I have all the screenshots of the conversations and transactions, but these individuals are using only Telegram IDs, making it challenging to identify and locate them. Unfortunately, I have lost 2,10,000 INR due to this scam, and I am seeking your assistance in resolving this issue.
For reference, the Telegram IDs of the receptionist and the tutor are @Nalile and @Teaghue respectively.
I would appreciate it if you could investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that these scammers are brought to justice. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Jibinkumar
