I was searching for online part-time job as it is vacation. Iam a student and I want a part-time job .. when I searched in Google. ..when I click on a link .. it opened to WhatsApp and a number..and to message. … I messaged to the number and they said .. there company is named Groupon merchant … It’s a part-time job.. and I can make 3k-8k daily .. my job is virtual marketing affiliate.. and the first step was to make a mall account.. and after making we will get a 60 rupees reward… Then we have to deposit 100 to activate that account . .. and they will give you a mentor in telegram… that mentor will gave you tasks… and she will gave you a telegram group link… that group have a lot of messages… of employees withdrawal successfull … It has 5.7k subscribers .. but there is no information about them… and the messages views also are below 100..and the job is .. they give us tasks.. after we finish that task .. we can withdraw the money we deposited + commission… The task is they will ask us to purchase products according to their orders .. but we have to gave or deposit cash to order that product and ..after every order completed we will get our cash back with commision .. . I completed 2 tasks and I was able to withdraw money along with commission … But the 3rd task was too much difficult for me .. there were 9 orders but each order have 2 or more products … The first 3 orders i done well..but the rate increased very high… It was only 100 -200 rupees in the starting ..but iventually the rate increased to 3k+ … I was really worried .. and I said them that I want to quit the job ..please refund my money ..but they were like .. once you finish your order .. you can withdraw your all money … Then I borrowed money from my friends .. relatives… But then. The next order were too expensive and now I had to deposit more money to complete the task … But there is no way to find any money😔 ..I decided to share all these to my boyfrnd.. and I did so… He was very upset with me because .. he was like … It’s all online spam… And he told me to forget that money .. and move on .. don’t deposit more money to that site… But I trusted them a lot … I argued with my boyfrnd… And atlast he said if I have that much confidence .. he will gave me money to invest… It’s been 2 days since I am not able to deposit any money and I am noticing… That telegram mentor(training instructor) was deleted their account twice.. once a account deleted .. they said it was because .. exceeding of too much people . … And gave me another username… And it was also deleted after that evening… And today morning they gave me another username ..and it is now deleted … I was so scared… And started to search about Groupon merchant company .. and now I realised … It was a fake Groupon company .. I lost 3700 rupees .. I had borrowed about 2100 rupees from friends and relatives… How can I gave it back😣..
