Text of Complaint by Ankamma Rao:

Hii, actually i got scammed 2 times, I’ll explain you all what happened.
First on March 7th I’ve received a message in WhatsApp from an unknown number. But i ingnored it for 2 days, after that, i messaged, them what do and all.
She said, it’s a partime job, where i can earn minimum 8000 per days by complete simpl tasks.
So i just asked them, do i need to pay anything. They said no need.
So i asked them what to do.
They’ve send one YouTube video and asked me to like and subscribe the channel and send the screenshot.
So i did the same. They said that, i got a salary of 150 rupees, and asked me contact to a contact a receptionist in telegram.
Her name was Asha.
So I’ve texted and she asked some of my details and my dank details and provided that 150.
After that same, she’ll give 3 tasks as a bundle and provide the 150 rupees for that each bundle.
So in 2nd bandle, last task, she said it’s a prepaid task of 1000. If i pay that amount, I’ll receive it back, after sometime with commission.
First thought for some time, and later I’ve send the money, to a unknown UPI. After that, she asked me to contact a another person name as Thekkar, who is a teacher.
He’ll guide to complete the task. After that, I’ve contacted him, he send me a crypto website link and asked me to create a account in it. So I’ve created, after that he asked me put that 1000 on Bitcoin UP for 180s time.
So placed the order same and received the commission, and receptionist helped me to withdraw that amount.
After that one more YouTube task set has done.
In 3rd bundle task again she said paid task came with min amount of 3000.
So i thought sometime and send the amount.
After that again i contacted the teacher, he said that it’s a group task so he created a group and added me in that.
(In all the groups, the group members were paid artists they were thier people only).
So I’ve entered the amount same again as Bitcoin UP. And got commission.
After this, teacher said that there was a subtask in it which they received from a marchent of 3000 again.
They next he told about this additional task everyone saying that, ok we’ll deposit the amount.
But i thought sometime and deposited the amount. After that we did the same thing again.
And in sub task 2 the task has closed, group has disbanded. And receptionist helped me to withdraw all that amount. I’ve received successfully.
Now again after one bundle of YouTube task, in next bundle again she said that, there was paid task with min of 5000.
So i thought that, just 5000 only right, so I’ve transferred that amount.
Again, I’ve contacted the teacher, he created a group and added me in that group.
Next I’ve followed him and placed the order and won the order. After this he said that, he obtained another task from marchent which is 20000. I thought till evening and send them the money.
I’ve successfully faced the order and won the order. After this again, he said that, there was another order of 65000.
(When the movement he said that amount everybody in the group started giving thier money because they were thier people only), but i took one day of time..
And told them i had only 35000, so they asked me give that amount. So I’ve transferred them.
After that here they confused me, and guided me wrongly, so i placed the order wrongly and lost all the amount.
After this the teacher said that, this was my mistake, to get back all the amount i need to pay 1 lakh. I got shocked.
I’ve requested them soo much, after 2 days I’ve send them 23000+11000 which is 34000.
Now everything was fine, this time I placed the order and the order successful.
So now total amount in that, website i have 340000 or something, to withdraw that amount i need to pay 20% tax which is 68000 otherwise, i don’t allow to withdraw that amount.
After this requested them soo much, but they didn’t replied anything.
After this i stopped chatting with them.
I know even though after i send that 68000 of tax amount, they’ll the money which the helped me (this i got to know with my 2nd case experience) of 66000+35000, after this they’ll block me.

My 2nd case was happened recently on April 8th.
Again I’ve received the message from them, I’ve replied the same, and the process again till 1st paid task which is 1000.
I thought that in 2nd paid 3000+3000 only they’ll ask, so I’ll deposit that amount and I’ll receive my commission. But here it happened differently.
In 2nd paid task (in my 1st case 3000+3000 they have asked),
But here first they asked 3000, later they asked 5000 and again they asked 20000 in the same task.
I had paid 5000, after that they said 20000, so i took 1 day of time and given them 5000 + 5000 2 times. And remaining 10000 they said that they’ll help me.
After this everything was fine and my order successful.
For withdrawing this amount, they are asking that i need to return thier 10000 which they helped me.
1st they’ll say that, they’ll help us, after withdrawal of that amount we need to return them.
But they’ll ask thier money before withdrawing that money only.
So here i stopped chatting with them and also they blocked me.
