Text of Complaint by Sreerag:

I am writing to formally report a case of online fraud that I recently fell victim to. I believe this incident requires immediate attention and investigation by your esteemed organization, the National Crime Records Bureau of India. My name is Sreerag and I am working in Dubai as an accountant. This fraud happened to me using my social media and bank accounts based in India.

Here are the details of my case:

I received an unsolicited message on the messaging on Telegram app from a user with the username @Priya98789, who claimed to be a receptionist for a company called Keka.

@Priya98789 offered me a seemingly legitimate opportunity to earn money by completing simple tasks, such as saving or marking locations on Google Maps as favorites, with the promise of a bonus of Rs. 150. Everyday for a week I started making small amounts like these which they transferred to my bank account.

Over time, I was coerced into investing money in online trading activities, with the assurance of guaranteed returns. The person behind @Priya98789 requested various sums of money to be transferred to different accounts and UPI IDs.

The fraudulent activities escalated, and I was assigned to a person with the Telegram username @Bhagirath9889, who instructed me to engage in trading on a specific website. I was required to invest significant sums of money to participate in these rounds of trading.

When I expressed my desire to withdraw the money I had invested, I was informed that I could only do so after completing multiple rounds of investment. This situation forced me to invest more funds in the hope of recovering my initial investment.

The final demand for a significant sum of Rs. 89,900 was made, with the promise that it would be the last round of investment necessary to withdraw my funds.

I am writing to request a thorough investigation into these fraudulent activities and to seek assistance in recovering the funds that I have lost as a result of this scam.
