4. After that the tutour said that you need to buy 80,000 Credits to get the data. The payment was made to merchant name, M/s Dastane Traders holding Account No 252905000753 in ICICI Bank on 17th April 23. The tutor asked me to do the transactions and share the screenshots with him.
During the Course, the tutour did not give the exacts amount details to be filled for trading and I happened to enter full amount. On his advice I was asked to buy another 80,000 credits in order to repair the data. This time the payment was made to merchant name: M/s Madani Designer Boutique Account Number: 23300500458, IFSC Code: ICICI0000359, Branch : ICICI Bank Bangalore Avenue Road.
After that the receptionist told me to pay another 50,000 Rs for Data retention policy. He gave me time till 18th April 23 till 12 noon for applying data retention policy in system. The merchant replied that the lost funds have been applied to return to your account , please click on assets to view. The tutor Lakshmi replied that “the application for data retention is till 19 April 23 18:00 hrs, once the payment is complete you can apply for full withdrawl”. I made payment of another 80,000 Rs using my Axis Bank Credit Card.
Once the verification was competed the tutor Lakshmi said that the system verified that you are applying for relief fund for the first time and the company will apply for 50% of the relief funds to assist you in completing the current restoration of data. Hence you need to apply for 200000 rescue funds. After that you need to buy 180000 points.

He then explained to me that due an operation error you have no way to apply for a full withdrawl.

On his behalf I paid Rs 180000 to the merchant and after verification he said that now its time to fix the data and no payment is required. Please be patient. Then the merchant replied on 22 April 23 that the the rescue funds needs to be returned to the merchant, after the return is complete you can apply for full withdrwal.
7. He then explained to me that the merchant has given you advance money to pay and earn commission, and the merchant has asked you to return his money by 25th April 23 before 12:00 noon. Then after making payment to the merchant of Rs 1,00,000 by NEFT to Mr.Sakhet Jana and other 1,00,000 by UPI to M/s Shiv Om Exports having Accounts in Punjab National Bank the tutor then replied that he has submitted my application to Finance department for withdrawl.
