Text of Complaint by Pranab Sahoo:

Started on WhatsApp on 13th September 2023. The gentleman messaged me with an offer Part-time job reviews via Google Maps. And for that, I don’t have to pay single supper. He gave me the first task by sharing a link on Google Maps which I reviewed and completed the first task. Then he shared another link for the second task which was also completed via telegram through the receptionist with a code and paid me 210 INR. Then he asked me to connect in telegram with the receptionist for the daily task. I saw some 600+ unknown people were part of the common window chat. The task was all reviews for the cafe and restaurants.
Receptionist named Nisha Thakur on telegram channel. Receptionist asked me to send the personal detail like name. Gender.age occupation and WhatsApp no.
Then I got certified and then receptionist shared another Google map reviewes link as third task to complete.I subscribed and completed the third task after that she asked my bank details for processing the payment.
I thought this is genuine job then then asked me to join their telegram channel where they give daily 25 task to complete and get the payment. In which prepaid task also was there wich I was not aware about. Because at the first place I was told that no kinds of investment is needed.
I got first prepaid task to do where again I
Completed and then came to the merchant task where payment was to be given I joined by paying 1000, 3000, 28000 and 65000 INR.
The receptionist gave another link and separate chat was….@ VIP work group with some code and we had to exist the common large group to keep the privacy of the merchant.
He demand more money for the withdrawal. I told my money refund me than he told complete your task than only u get refund otherwise all your paid money will be lost.
After listening her threatening I guess this must be a scammer and I stopped paying and they hold my money.
Kindly help me by refund my money and punish that fraud scammer so that other people aware of it.
