I applied for a Part Time Job in the month of March in Quikr.I got a call from a agent.She explained me about the job details.It was a image to pdf convesion job.She also said there is no processing fee.I agreed to it and started my work from 05-04-2023.They said it was a 12 day work and payment will be done after completing the work for 12 days.I completed the work on 16-04-23 and waited for the payment.The agent said next work will start on 25th and within that payment will be credited.I waited and they asked me to view my quality report and salary and send a screenshot of it I viewed and my salary was given around 46000.I felt it was fishy but sent the screenshot and waited.2 days later on 26-04-2023 I received a call and message from the agent that my salary is released and she gave me username and password and asked me to click on a link and login using the credentials.It was like a payment wallet named RAPIDPAYZ.In the link it asked me to maintain a minimum balance of 2000 Rs approx only the I can get my salary.It sounded fishy and I contacted the agent and enquired about the details.She said that all the money was converted from foreign currency to Indian currency.So it cannot be transferred to account directly.Also she said it can be transferred from wallet to gpay number only then there wont be any issues with banking.And for that I need to pay the minimum balance to the wallet after which I can receive salary and transfer to my account including the minimum balance. I couldn’t believe that so I asked her and how can I believe.She rose against me and asked who asked me to do it and cut the call.She dint even mention about the gateway options earlier.If she had mentioned I wouldn’t have agreed to it Waste of my time..Thank God I understood it before and dint send money.Please online websites stop posting fake jobs.There are lots of people losing money without proper understanding and education.
