They contacted via telegram and offered investment scheme with high returns with less or no risk. They will ask you to recharge on their platform, the payment for which, goes to a random third-party UPI (pretty sure it’s a stolen account). Hence, each time you top-up, the amount goes to a different UPI account. (screenshot attached of payments made)
Initially, Rs. 100 was the said deposit, they gave 1 order task and after the task completion, Rs.170 was credited to my bank account, they gave support administrator id her name is Vanita (telegram-@faic555). First contact was made by Whatsapp and then Telegram:
1. Whatsapp +212776142981, telegram Id – @faic555
2. Whatsapp +918095846621, telegram Id – @Mazikeen_101
They give orders to complete the job and promise high commissions – i did as they advised at every step.
After the withdrawal of Rs. 170, they asked me to recharge for extra 500 and promised a return 20%-30% of every order amount. I did and they told me need to complete 20 orders in website, i started with the 500 and saw that the orders were ranging around 500 and i was getting the promised commission added onto the wallet on the platform. However, the catch here is that you cannot withdraw any of the funds until the orders are completed.(That’s what they said.)
After 7 orders completed, they said I need to recharge for Rs.1,301 and in 9th order again need to recharge Rs.4,719 and 12th order recharged as Rs.10,553 and 14th order with Rs. 31,466 and then for the final order again they said that i need to recharge Rs.61,554.
I did as told because i was under the illusion that i can recover the lost funds.
By now, i have exhausted all the funds from my account and had no money left.
They didn’t let me withdraw, stating that the orders have not been completed.
To complete the order and proceed with withdrawal, they are now asking for Rs. 66,518 more.
Below are some of the messages sent by them.

The order is randomly matched by the system, and you only need to pay to complete it. Of course, the larger the order, the greater your profit. Some customers complete vip2 tasks directly and withdraw money directly. The order is completed to increase the sales of the merchant’s product, the merchant will not ship to you, and the merchant’s product will get better ratings and exposure. The market value of the Indian market will also increase, so the company is willing to pay us commission, or the biggest winner, so you can understand? I guarantee that every customer is the same, complete the vip task and can withdraw all the funds.

You have not completed the activation order, your data is not activated, and the system cannot review your withdrawal.
If you have no money now. I can apply for you to extend the task time, you have enough time to arrange money to complete the task. Withdraw all the money in the account after completing the task.

Borrow money from friends and share the account commission with them after withdrawing cash. Ask a friend to complete the order with you.
The total amount I lost in this scam is Rs.1,09,593
Amount including commission shown on the platform is Rs. 1,52,974
