Yesterday, I clicked on a Facebook ad for an Amazon part time online job. I was then redirected to a Whataspp profile 90066 01645 who claimed to be Jez Margaret, an Amazon Partner Recruiting Manager. She took my basic details and made me create an online profile on amafipkart.com and asked me to recharge with a few rupees and do certain shopping tasks which would give me good commissions and I could withdraw anytime.
I was then redirected by her to my mentor/tutor: a Telegram profile of Jason (@Jason1961) who also asked me to recharge and do online tasks. After the initial task, I got some money back which gave me the confidence to go ahead.
The recharge money kept increasing in the middle of the task and I was told by Jason that till I don’t finish the entire task (consisting of 6 mini shopping tasks), I could not withdraw the money that I has already recharged.
He kept assuring me that I will get a good commission by the end of it and to not worry about it. I was scared and I kept sending money via GPay, AmazonPay and through my ICICI account to 2 different accounts in HDFC and ICICI based in Delhi and Bihar. When I finished the task and asked for withdrawal, I was asked to pay additional 20% tax, after which I would get my earnings back. When I refused, he sent me a certificated stating its valid only for 24 hrs and if I don’t pay, all my money will be gone. And I could go to the police or sue them.
I ended up losing almost Rs. 1000 which was almost all my savings. I have blocked my bank accounts.
PLEASE HELP!
