Details of the Incident:
On [02/09/2025], I came across a link on the Testbook Telegram channel that claimed to “double the money.”
The link redirected me to another Telegram channel where different offers were displayed, such as “Invest ₹3,000 and get ₹12,000” or “Invest ₹5,000 and get ₹20,000.”
From there, I was asked to contact a WhatsApp number 9783279665(fraudster’s number). This is still ACTIVE. I am still contact with him in WhatsApp. He send his Aadhar and PAN to make trust.
The fraudster asked me to invest ₹3,000, instructing me to first pay ₹2,000 and then ₹1,000. Later he claimed the slot was full and told me to pay another ₹2,000 for a ₹5,000 slot.
After the payments, he claimed my profit was ₹36975.02, but demanded an additional GST payment to release it. I said I have no money, then he said arrange it and you will get the profit in 1 min on call. I paid ₹6,687.02(as he gives a screen short of GST amount) via UPI.
He later claimed the “transaction failed” but increased the profit to ₹56465.02, and again demanded ₹12,646.2 as a withdrawal fee.
Till now, I have paid TOTAL of ₹11687.02 in total through UPI transactions, but I have not received any profit or refund.
The fraudster continues to demand more money and threatens that I will lose my investment if I do not pay further.
