The scammers with the name Andy, Brady and Gurley Preston initially provided simple tasks through Telegram groups, offering small payments to build trust. Once trust was established, they introduced investment tasks, claiming that completing these tasks will increase your credit score. They promised that once your credit score reaches 100, you can withdraw all your funds with a substantial profit. The website even displayed my credit score, which gives the illusion of progress. However, the score never actually reached 100. When confronted, they asked me to pay more for a recovery of account. I’ve spent around PKR 700000 already and the final tasks demanding around PKR 600000 more.
