I received a message in what’s app claiming that they are not a company which promoted you tube videos and pay the employees for linking the videos. she sent me 3 links of YouTube videos which I liked and then she rewarded me with ₹150 (₹50/video liked). then she gave me a link of telegram. through that link I connected to a receptionist whose name on telegram was Ellen Warner. she sent another link through which I joined a telegram channel. there we were given task to like youtube videos and follow Instagram pages for which we were paid. there were some prepaid tasks for which we needed to deposit money in advance. I started from ₹3000. on the first day, I invested ₹13000 and they returned me ₹17000.
on the next day, I started with ₹12000. but they kept on giving me tasks with increasing amounts. Next task was of ₹40000 which I paid. then they gave another task for which they asked me to deposit ₹2 lac. I have deposited that too. then they another task in which I had to pay ₹5 lac. I refused to pay. then they told me that the task will not be completed and you won’t get your money back with completing. Still I refused. and then I lost ₹252000.
the receptionist used to provide me different bank accounts details for payment each time. the accounts were flagged on Gpay and Phone Pe and the UPI apps were giving warning not to make transaction on those accounts. but still I took risk and lost all my money. please help me recover my money back
