I got a message from one of the HR, Saveeta Kumari (+91-7676587832) from Leo Burnett Media Group on 18th March to ask me if I was looking for a job. On replying, she told me about the Leo Burnett company and further briefed me about the role which is to visit the Google pages they provide and rate the pages. She sent me the link of the Leela Palace, Delhi as Task 1 and on doing so, I received Rs 150. Further, she referred me to the Telegram and add one of the contacts by the name of Preeya- https://t.me/Receptionist_Preeya234. They gave daily 24 tasks in which 20 tasks is to give a review to the places and 4 tasks are prepaid tasks that we need to pay some amount and on that amount, we will get some additional benefits. They told without prepaid tasks we can’t work here. The prepaid tasks were related to cryptocurrency and the URL of the website was pro.gdfs44.one. For prepaid tasks, we were added to another Telegram group created by the task teacher, Mr Pardeep Narayan. The first amount that was taken was Rs 2000 for which I received Rs 2800 and then their whole trap began when they told me that their prepaid task was divided into sub-prepaid tasks. Almost 10.80 lakhs have been taken by the company from me; some by the name of the prepaid task, some for scoring low credit score, some for tax as the refunded amount was more than 5 lac (which was mentioned to be refundable) and a few for large account access verification. The person with whom I was talking was Shweta and it was told to me she was handling all the finance part. Later, it was told to me that the account in which the transferred the last amount has been frozen and in order to get the money back, I need to transfer another sum of money to another account. The pressure they created was so much that no choice was left. I spoke to the other people who were a part of the prepaid task force group and when they told me that they have received money, I gained some confidence and arranged the money once again. Also, I was left with no choice as the pressure to get back my money was high. I transferred the sum to another 3 separate accounts as instructed to me by Shweta. The next day, when I was supposed to receive the entire amount, the accounts got disappeared and I lost all the chats. On talking to other people that were a part of the prepaid task group, I got to know about the other receptionist. Her telegram id is Receptionist_ Anita. I recited the whole issue to her and she told me that the account in which I transferred money has been frozen and the people that were involved in that account have been dismissed from the job. This entire team is now just giving contacts one after the other and they are offering more money to get my money back.
I request you to please do something about it and help me in getting my money back.
