Text of Complaint by Sidharth Pandurangan:

Firstly I get a msg on whatsapp to give a Google review for which I got paid 210 instantly.
Then they told such reviews can fetch side income and paid me for each of the reviews posted.
Then the so called “Receptionist” pitches a prepaid investment for 1k to fetch the money earned thru reviews, they provide links to random accounts to deposit the amount and give a confirmation code.
Then they add u to another group to make trades on a website called swiccatch.com.
They keep asking to deposit more money or the invested money will get lost and can’t be recovered.
It started with 1k, then 3k, then 7k, then again 1k then went upto 25k and then 61k finally and they showed some profits on the whole investment and can be withdrawn easily.
All the members in the group talk in very polished English and talk about investing a higher amount and have made huge profits in the past 3 weeks.
After all the withdrawal code and things are given to the “receptionist” she approves of the total amount confidently and then forwards a msg which says a 30% tax has to be paid(which is way higher than the profit made).
*As per the govt. Rules 30% tax is paid by the person who made profit only on the profits made.
Now they threaten saying money won’t be released unless the taxes are paid and the tax will be refunded after 3 more days of the same game and trades where we’re forced to invest more and more money.
Utterly a scam, they talk roughly at times when the money is spoken off. People please be aware of this scam that’s trending and someone plz help us recover the amount lost like this 🙁
It really hurts to lose hard earned money like this and suffer 🙁
