Text of Complaint by Kumar:

Let’s start from the very beginning. A girl messaged me via WhatsApp (+1(530)205-1197, )and said that there is an opportunity to earn extra which will take very less time per day. All I’ve to do is just save some locations in google maps. If i want to join this I’ll receive INR 150. I said yes and provided my information and mode of payment which is direct bank transfer. He forwarded my information to a girl designated as receptionist. Also he gave me her telegram contact (Drishti1993). She then sent me INR 150 in my account, again took my personal information. She then sent me a link of their telegram group which consists nearly of 1200 people. She said that if i join in between 9 to 10 o’clock next day, I’ll get INR 100 as sign in bonus to work and then the work will continue. Next day work started at 9 o’clock. I received my sign in bonus of INR 100. Then she gave me 4 google maps location which i saved and shared the screenshot as a proof. Those were task 1 to task 4. On 5th task she said that it’s a prepaid work. I’ve to pay a certain amount which she gave options of. This amount will be dealt by a TEACHER and I’ll receive a profit amount. I chose 1005 from the three options. I paid the amount. Then she shared a link of their teacher’s telegram (@Aksah554789). He helped me to open a account in their website (https://in.job1155.com/#/login). The amount 1005 was displayed there. Helped me to trade for BTC/USDT. I saw the profit and then helped me withdraw the money. After that he gave me a withdrawal code and said to contact the receptionist. I gave the code to receptionist and she helped me add bank details to their website and subsequently i received a total amount of 1505 in my bank account. I stopped for that day. She informed me earlier that there are 20 such tasks. Next day when i joined, i asked for sign in bonus. She replied, as I’ve not completed 20 tasks yet I’ll not receive sign in bonus. So work started from task 6 till task 9 which is again saving four google maps location and sharing screenshot. After that the prepaid task 20 where i was asked to choose an amount. I chose 5505. And sent her the amount. Then she asked to contact the teacher. I did. Teacher said that it’s a group activity and i need to wait for other participants to join. He created a group with two other girls. Then he said that it’ll be in 2 to 4 stages. One of the girl said that she has already done this three times. Then asked to trade in BTC/USDT using our amount. I did. After that the second payment. I chose 15505 which was lowest. Transferred the amount. Then again asked to trade in BTC/USDT. After every trade we share our screenshots and he would check them. Also we can see the profits in their website. After this he again gave the options to choose the amount from. One girl started objecting as to how many more such task is left because she is running out of money. Teacher replied this is last. Then i chose 69995 which was the lowest amount. Both the girls were always going for the highest amounts. We paid. He asked to trade in BTG/USDT. He then asked for screenshots. I sent them. He checked it in his side and found that there is something wrong. He messaged asking who did this. I said it’s me. Then he said that it’s a wrongful way to work. Their system will not let us withdraw the money as it thinks that i am still money from the system. So we need to do the third stage once again but the amount will change. This time he asked me to choose an amount. I went for the lowest which is 169990. At this point i had no money at all. So i said him that i cannot do it as i have no money. He then said if i do not pay, then the whole group will be stucked in this situation as it’s a group work. After eventually going back and forth, i finally decide to ask the girls in the group to pay my amount and they can take the profit. After this ge replied that a member cannot take money from another member, because if there is any liss then they will suffer and the company will not be responsible. So the girls said no to my request. Then the teacher turned against his own words and asked the girls to finish their side of transaction and withdraw the money. They then did confirmed that they have withdrawn the amount. After again going back and forth for the money, he gave me an option to pay 50000 now and the rest can be paid tomorrow. I said that i can do that. At night i replied that I’ve the money. But he didn’t reply as it was nearly 11 o’clock. The next day i tried searching in google if it’s a scam and yes it was. Then I didn’t pay him anything. He started talking in a rude way. As to you have to pay, there is no other way and such. But I didn’t. I said that you sound like you are forcing me to do this. After that he didn’t message. I have all the payment proofs as the payment was online. Have screenshots of all the chat between me and HR, Receptionist, Teacher. I’ve only attached the photos of my payment here.
