I all started with a Whatsapp messsage (from 62051022803 named Chunnu K Umar) proposing for a daily earning with minimum time investment where the investor has to like and review the movies and videos on IMDb app and get paid on every task. This was going fine for few days where they were providing 50 to 100 rupees on every task completed.

Then this person mentioned to connect with receptionist (Smitha Adarsh with telegram ID https://t.me/m/MWKMA2O_Yjlk ) who will assign tasks on daily basis in the telegram working group (7402 CME Task Group) where i joined initially. I saw that other members of the group are completing the tasks and sending profits screenshots on daily basis which i also earned from 50 to 100 on every 1 min tasks. The lady mentioned that to increase the earnings on every task i need to complete the economy tasks where some prepaid amount will be paid by the investors and profits of 30-40% is gained. I also got return on small investments of 2000 with 40% returns instantly credited to my google pay account.

Going further, the receptionist send telegram ID of the Tutor Riya Kappor with telegram ID https://t.me/riyamamg4848 ) who will teach to execute the economy tasks ( it was proposed to get few selected members into separate telegram group of 4-5 members where economy tasks of 2-3 orders will be prepaid by the investors to gain 30-40% returns instantly. First order was for 5000 where return was 6500 reflected in their stock trading app called Mint , then second order for 32,000 (which seemed high amount and finally decided to pay) and reflected return of 48000 on the proposed economy tasks sheet. After that the 3rd order was starting with 125000 as the first option which i refused to pay since it was very high amount to manage and pay.

But the tutor mentioned that all the overall profits can be withdrawn only after executing the 3rd order which is system generated and denying to this order will lead to loss of all previous orders and profits. This was very troublesome for me to manage and pay but there was no option to with draw at the 2nd order. I took lots of time to decide and arrange the high amounts and couldn’t pay the same day. I noticed that other members of the group earned as expected and sent the overall profit screenshots in the smaller group. Somehow i could pay only 49000 through IMPS transaction on that day. Next day morning, the tutor texted me personally to check if rest of the funds are arranged else i would lead to loss of all invested amounts and hence the profits. I took lot of time to arrange money and paid the rest amounts 50000 through IMPS and 26000 through UPI transactions summing all to 125000.

When i asked the tutor to start the withdrawal process, surprisingly she said that I have done some mistake while executing the order and my amounts are frozen in the Mint app. She mentioned that she will try to resolve the issue and came up with some socking solution. She mentioned that i have to repair order of 280000 to unfreeze the balance and withdraw the whole amounts failing which all the invested amount will be lost. I denied to pay further since it was not possible to manage.

Finally on multiple discussions i concluded that it is a major scam and logged this incident to the cyber crime department in Bangalore on 7th Sept, 2025. Kindly help in resolving this matter and getting me justice to get the amount refunded with or without any profits as it has created critical and huge financial crisis to me personally. This is also reported to the nearest Kadugodi police incident on the next day morning on 8th Sept, 2025.
