Telegram Scam Alert!

So, this one is being called as “Telegram Prepaid Scam” or I would like to call it as “Telegram Task Scam”
This is how it works:
Day 1:
You will get a text message in Whatsapp from some foreign number asking if you are interested to earn money through part-time job. Most of the people will figure out this to be a scam and block, but I wanted to know what this is and I continued the conversation. I asked the person what is the job and how do I get paid. She gave me 3 tasks, first two to subscribe 2 Youtube channels which I did and the third to download Telegram and send “hi” to an ID (referred as Receptionist).which she gives. That’s it.
To my surprise I was credited with Rs.150 to my UPI ID. REAL MONEY
