Text of Complaint by Roshini Balakrishnan:

I was scrolling through Instagram and found a post saying if I invest 2k I’ll get 20k in 1 hour from trader_jassu account. I texted and decided to invest 2k. After 1.5 hours he sent me a picture saying I’ve made 82k profit but I need to pay 12500 as commission to withdraw. I was skeptical but I paid it. Then after few mins he sent a image which said I need to pay 22k as GST to withdraw the amount. I didn’t have the amount so I said the same. He said he can apply voucher and make it 14k. I shouldn’t have trusted but I did and paid the 14k. He said I’ll get the amount in 5mins but I didn’t. After 30 mins he sent another screen saying I need to pay the remaining amount to withdraw it. I tried to report and raise a complaint. But I didn’t, then decided i paid the remaining as well. He said I’ll get it but I didn’t get anything. After 2 hours he sent another screen saying I need to pay 18k as ITF. I don’t have any money to give anymore and I’ve been scammed. Please help
