On 15th October 2023, I got message on Telegram about work from home. On providing basic details like city, job, she told me that related person will guide you all the work details.
Next day her agent contacted me and told me that I got your number from our recruitment partner. After that she explained me, the job as follows.
Hopper, Inc. Is a travel booking app and online that sell flight tickets, hotel booking, car renting and etc. We help clients spend less and travel better.
She told me my work as Our job is to complete 20 online quest of hotel packages on the working platform, after login the page you will click on Quest, claim your bonus, swipe to match and click on green face and submit. After that she has given me a website (https://www.hprchannel.com) along with her reference code and told me to register on website. Then she told me to complete the 20 evaluations, after completing it, I earned Rs. 969, out of which I have cash out Rs. 900 which directly deposited in my bank account. In this way, she gave a scope to earn something where I will be little confident and happy that further I am going to earn as an extra income.
Then she invited me to join the membership discussion group, the link of the same https://t.me/+NVI_utHw0Sw3MDE1, I joined the same. After that she told me that we have to complete the 3 rounds of quest everyday (i.e., 20 x 3 = 60 evaluations).
Next day (On 17th October 2023) I have been told to recharge minimum of Rs. 10000 to renew your working account to become a privileged member. I recharged that day and after completing 60 evaluations, I cash out total amount of Rs. 21000.
On next day (On 18th October 2023), they have given the daily first deposit bonus, if you deposit 20K, you will get Rs. 2500. I recharged for 20k and cash out total amount of Rs. 51000.
On next day (On 19th October 2023), they have given the Anniversary bonus, if you deposit 50K, you will get Rs. 50k as bonus. I recharged for 50k and got bonus of 50k in hopper account. Then I started evaluations, but this time I got silver quest and my hopper account showing negative balance of Rs. 76000. Then they told me to deposit this amount then you can start your remaining evaluations and cash out. As my 50k invested already, so I deposited 76k and started my further evaluations, again after some evaluations, I got silver quest, this time the negative amount was Rs. 178518 and the cash out amount that I can withdraw is also increased to around 4.6 lakhs, but it was on hold due to this negative amount. They again told me, if you have to cash out, you need to deposit Rs. 178519, to get my earlier invested money, somehow, I have arranged that amount and deposited. Again, started completing the last few evaluations to cash out my money and this time at the last evaluation they have again given me the silver quest and my account goes in negative amount of Rs. 646640. This is a huge amount for me and I can’t even able to arrange such a huge amount. This time the amount that I can withdraw is showing around 12 lakhs, but again it was on hold due to this negative amount.
So, at this point I understand that it was a trap and now I completely trapped in it. They told me that you have to complete this quest within upcoming 6 hours, otherwise management can deduct a 20% on withdrawable amount.
Today on 25th October 2023, also the hopper account status was same like before, they did not have deducted any money. From today evening there website (https://www.hprchannel.com) is also not accessible.
Please find attached all the available proofs.
