A random number reached out to me on whatsapp and told me about an opportunity to earn some income by liking videos etc online. They were called tasks and were released every 30 minutes. There was no me tion of money to be inveated when ine signed up. There was a task that asked to invest 1000 and it would fetch a return or commission of 300 and once the payment was made you got sucked into a viscious cycle of paying more money to complete the task so the money would be transfered back with the commission. The instructions are very vague and wishy washy, intimidating for anyone. But there’s no way out to get your money back unless you recharge or deposit an amount specified by them . The money has to be transfered via upi and online. Most of the upi addresses when entered for transacting open pop ups as having issues with security . The tasks are nit independent and lead into tasks asking for bigger amounts .Once all the money is transfered and you’re unable to pay anymore, they say you didn’t complete the task so all the money you transfered is gone. It is a scam and needs to be shut down immediately. Also, anyone who has lost money should be able to recover it back through the bank system tracing with help from cyber crime team.
