When I was looking for a part time job online, I contacted a company called groupon mall on whatsapp number 9759680050 and inquired about the online job. He sent the link https://grouafu.com?invite=vujwg#/register on WhatsApp. Through that, he asked to register the application called groupon mall. Then he sent a QR code to recharge ₹100. Through that I did ₹100 transaction and sent him the screenshot. Then he sent a telegram link https://t.me/Mary0351 and asked to join it. The telegram page said teacher Mary. When contacted he advised what to do next. Then he asked to withdraw the amount in the wallet. That amount of ₹220 came to my bank account. Then they send like this message, The following part-time assignments are now available:
1. 【500Rs task】Recharge ₹500 and earn 20%-30% of the order amount
2. 【1000Rs task】Recharge ₹1000 and earn 20%-30% of the order amount

I chose 500 Rs. He told me to recharge that amount in the wallet. I recharged. Again I followed his instructions and completed the orders. Then I withdrew. The amount also reached my bank account. Then again on August 3rd they send like this message.
1. 【500Rs task】Recharge ₹500 and earn 20%-30% of the order amount

I again chose 500Rs. He sent another telegram link https://t.me/mary665 and asked to join it. Then he made a guide from it. There were a total of 9 orders and for each order 5-6 items had to be completed. He said you can get your money back only if you complete it completely. Even though I have already given the money, I took a loan from my friends to complete it somehow and completed it with great difficulty. The amount I borrowed for this is ₹4,50,000/-. Then asked to withdraw. I withdrew the amount of ₹5,65,800/- from my wallet page at the time of withdraw ore. After that, if this amount is to come to my bank account, I have to submit 15% of this amount to the income tax department. He said that only then will it reach your bank account. I also pledged my jewelery on 7th August and withdrew by paying an amount of ₹84,870/-. Then he said that The merchant is still negotiating with the bank manager, it seems that there is a problem with this payment. After that on August 10, The court supervisory committee notified the bank to freeze this fund, because they found out that you have not had such a large amount of funds in or out of this collection account in the past year, so they are suspicious of your sudden transfer of such a large amount of funds. He said that you don’t believe that you can go to the bank to obtain the PDF file of your collection account for more than one year, and then bring your ID card and bank passbook to the court supervisory committee for inquiries. Then my amount has been frozen by SEBI to know whether I am a money fraudster, and if I want to unfreeze it, I have to pay 30% of the amount of ₹5,65,800/-, so far they are delaying my money back. I humbly request you to take appropriate action against them and recover my original amount.
