I started on WhatsApp. The lady messaged me with an offer of Part Time Job, she told me she is from Elsner technology pvt. Sarika Acharya I don’t have to pay a single rupee. She gave me the first task by sharing a link to a YouTube channel to which I have to subscribe and completed the first task. Then she shared another YouTube link for the second task which also I completed. Then she said that for the third task, I need to chat with their receptionist named Kashi Das (telegram channel @Kashi6668). Then I asked the receptionist for the third task and she gave shared with me a link to one website https://c5122.top/User/index for registering. I registered there with my email id. Then she asked me for a prepaid mission where I have to pay 1000 rs and I received back 1300. I gave my UPI id and after 20-30 mins I received 1300rs payment. I thought this is a genuine job. Then they asked me to join their telegram channel where they give daily 25 tasks to complete and get the payment. In prepaid tasks also was there which I was not aware of. I got the first prepaid task to do where 1000rs was the starting prepaid task for fresher people. So I paid 1000rs with the help of the receptionist and then she allocated one teacher named @David (telegram channel id @David798897) who will be guiding us for the trading. Then shared some steps to follow to do trading of Bitcoin on the website https://c5122.top/User/index. I followed the steps and completed that prepaid task and then I got paid 1300rs via the receptionist. Then I kept completing other tasks which got posted in the group in which I got another prepaid task. The second time I again tried to opt for a 1000rs plan which they denied and informed me that I can opt it for once as fresher only. Then they asked me to choose a task of 6000rs or above. I chose 6000rs and paid the amount to the merchant through the receptionist. This time the task needed to be completed in groups where 2-3 people were required. This time teacher made 1 group and asked us to agree on some terms and conditions and then shared the same steps to complete the trading task. Everyone did and then the teacher asked us to wait for another group task and shared some tasks in which we have to choose one amount and need to pay the merchant via receptionist by sharing the code given by the teacher. Then I opt for the lowest amount which was 6800 due to insufficient money whereas other members wanted to opt for the highest amount. As everyone has to select the same option others selected the same which I did. Then we paid the amount and then completed the task by repeating the trading task by following the steps given by the teacher. Then after completing the two-task teacher asked us to wait until he is checking whether there is another task. And after a few moments, the teacher declared there are other tasks that we need to pay more amount after completing the second prepaid task we have to complete 3rd task with an amount of 138900 then I paid that amount the teacher said you will get your previous money when you will complete this task after completing the task teacher again asked us to wait for another task and he allocated fourth task where we need to pay 478900rs amount. Then this time one person from our group said that she needs some time to manage the fund and the same thing I also did. After some time, she and I managed funds and paid the 478900rs amount thinking that this one will be the last task, and completed that third task. After that teacher again asked us to wait for another task and he shared the fourth task saying this one is the last task in which we have to pay a minimum of 998900rs amount. Then I said I’m not able to make such a huge amount they said Retention option we have arranged 9989within in tomorrow and claim your rewards, I thought if I paid reaming task amount, they will transfer my whole settlement so I barrow amount from my husband, friends, and paid that amount. After that teacher said one more where we need 1398900 money after that I said 1 quit and give me my money back, the rule was only for 4 tasks. One thought was like to complete the last task and complete the prepaid task and get the commissions but then I thought what if they didn’t pay me the whole amount with commission? That day I didn’t pay for the last group task. They asked me to arrange the fund and pay the amount till the next day which I still not did. I don’t know what to do now. I have kept off the telegram application since morning and waiting for some solution which I still not got. I request you stop such scams to happen. Such scams are happening mostly on Telegram channel and those need to be stopped. As these people are doing fraud with lots of people and every day so many people are losing their money in such scams.
