On Dec 21, 2023 I got a part-time job offer. They approached me via WhatsApp. They told that we are from Edelman company and we offer part time jobs. Initially I denied but when they share the procedure of job description it was simple. They told that we will pay if you review or comment or vote on the website we will share with you. Initially they gave job on rating and reviewing hotels & restaurants. It was a test task. I did it as they required and I got money of RS600 of test task.
After that they asked me to install telegram app where we have group of people to work with. They guided the whole procedure and I did it. After installing the app, they shared the invitation link of a person to connect with on telegram. Further, the person you connected on telegram will guide you more. And they disconnected on WhatsApp. Now the person added me to the voting group and shared the tasks list and it’s time duration. There was 24 tasks a day in which 20 were simple tasks (voting tasks) and 4 were welfare tasks (invest money) tasks. First, I attempted some voting task and each task was of RS 200. I got money back after completing 3 consecutive tasks. Then I attempted the welfare task which was of 7000 and I got 9800 back. After that I attempted another welfare task and this time I invested 18000 and returns was 25200. After sending money of 18000 they told that you have qualified for advanced tasks. Advance tasks means more returns on each investment. They immediately removed me from the voting group and added me to the advanced tasks group. They share the rules of tasks that anybody leave the group in halfway of task they will not refund. There will be maximum of 4 tasks and you must do each task within the given time. There were 4 to 6 of other people in the group and we all agreed on rules. The group admin named ‘Kevin’ shared the link of C-FINANCE website “https://da1as.top/” where you can view your balance and credit score. I opened the link and created account. And there was an updated balance of RS 27000 (I transferred the amount of 18000 and the returns were 9000). Now, he shared the 1st task that was of multiple options of multiple amounts to send money and returns was different for each option. I choose 1 option which was of 43000. I transferred the money on given account number and my balance and credit score was updated on the website accordingly. He told that we will release the salary on completion of the tasks. He asked there is another task of multiple amounts and returns. I choose 1 option which was of 72000. I was insufficient funds in my account to transfer the money. The time was up and I couldn’t transferred the money on time. I asked the Kevin can I send the money little late and can I get returns? He said yes and I anyhow managed and transferred the 72000. There was no other task and I completed all the tasks. I checked the website and the balance was updated. But unfortunately my credit score was 90. I shared the screen shot to him and he said let me check. After that he told that that was because of late payment and if you did not reach to 100 credit score we will not refund your balance. He shared another task to complete and get your credit score to 100. That task was of 138000 as I already out of balance in my account so I couldn’t complete the task to get the credit score of 100. So I gave up and I lost 133000 (18000 + 43000 + 72000). This all happened in 2 hours on Dec 22, 2023.
I can still access the website and can see my balance of 197350 (returns are included in this) but can’t withdraw the amount because of insufficient credit score.
Please note that I’ve all the information regarding account numbers, titles and banks where I transferred the money. And some of the phone numbers from where I get the money.
I please request you to help me in this regard.
