I was offered a part-time job at a Meesho Flagship store. The girl who contacted me on WhatsApp was some Neha Patenjiku named. The daily job is to buy the goods that merchants publish on their platform. After the purchase is successful, the merchant will virtually ship the goods. The member will not receive the goods. After the task is completed, the merchant will settle member funds and commissions to member account”.
As the job seems to be simple, I chose it and had to pay a simple one time refundable fee of 100. As the amount was cheaper, I did not worry about its authenticity. I was then advised to contact a person named Anushka with some telegram link who will assign me daily task. Firstly , I was assigned a simple task, to purchase the items in the task assigned , For the first task I was provided with small order with less value , which contains three items totally, total cost of the order was less than 1000. To purchase those items, I had to recharge the wallet for 150 , I recharged for INR 150 and purchased them and as per my instructor, I have to grab all the orders for the assigned task and items present in it. Repeating the same I made multiple payments worth INR6000. After completing those orders, I was provided commission for each item I grabbed. Then amount I spend on purchased along with commission will be present in a wallet of the portal. After a while, the fund in my wallet has gone to frozen state. Then after some time the frozen fund will be active for withdrawal. I could not see the value of the items in orders before I grab the order. Initially it started with 5000 and ended with 300000, to purchase those items I needed to recharge the portal with QR code provided. sometime some QR codes were not working, Then I had to approach the instructor for guidance then she provided a UPI code using that I can recharge wallet portal. Many a times ,UPI id provided also failed , in that case they provided Account detail to transfer. Then I recharged wallet account from my own bank account. There was a restriction that one cannot withdraw his fund before completing the order.
As I was already half way through and I already recharged the wallet with more than 6K I did not want to lose that 6K, in order to complete the Order , I arranged funds from my friends and recharged the wallet in the portal. Like many QR codes, UPI IDs provided by the portal were not working properly, The only way to recharge the wallet is through IMPS transfer to bank account. They provided some random bank details to transfer. After transferring the amount to the specified bank account, I must provide them the Transaction id , They will update my wallet after confirming the transaction. After a while, when I ran out of money I asked my instructor to at least pay me the present amount, she stopped replying me and said I have to pay more and that she cannot help it.
