I have received a WhatsApp message on Friday, 26th April from +916371252567.
They Introduced as a HR representative of a company ( I am presently searching for job).
Mentioned that they are promoting some brands for which reviews need to be done on Google map.
There was a payment for each review.
Added me in a telegram group. I have received payments via upi for the reviews done.
Then there was additional payment (these payments were mentioned as salary) by doing tasks.
In a day, 21 tasks were given. Task # 4,9,15 & 19 were called welfare tasks. Other 17 were reviews. To do this, prepayment is required from 2000. 00 to infinite amount. Returns were also there.
After completing these welfare tasks, the salary becomes double for each reviews done(started with 50.00 per task, then 100.00 per task, 200.00 per task, etc)
In each of the welfare task, there will be 3 sub tasks given.
First we have to create an account on a crypto trading website
https://bitbnns.net (now changed to https://Bitbns.net
Sub tasks are :
Step 1: Click TRADE
Step 2: Click buy more (60S)( some time it is Sell)
Step 3: Enter the program amount 3600 (this amount varies as per the task)
Step 4: Click OK
Then there is 2nd task where 3 plans are given. We have to pay additional amount accordingly.
Third task is also similar one where the amount to be paid is more (and return also)
In short, I have made a payment of 2000 and received 2800.
Paid 5000. Received 7000.00
Paid 1000. Received 1400.
Then came the task to pay 9000.00
In this, 1st task was to pay 36000.00, next to pay 138000.00. Then it was withdrawal time.
While withdrawal, 256200.00 was the withdrawal amount as per the website.
(This is the invested amount of 9000+36000+138000 + the returns)
I was able to withdraw 5000. 00
As per the instructions on the group, withdrawal was to be done multiple times).5000 as test withdrawal, then 5000, then 80749, and then the balance amount.
During the next withdrawal, the funds were frozen (message displayed).
When contacted their customer service (another telegram account, no number ), they asked me to deposit 376800.00 (1.5 times the available fund value) to unfreeze the fund. And said that the whole amount of 251200 + 376800 = 628000.00 will be paid back to my account within 10-30 minutes.
Here I stopped making the payment.
I have Collected different bank account details and upi details from them. These Details are available with me .
Also asked them if it can be paid using crypto currency
They responded promptly that they accept Usdt (crypto) and shared some address(crypto address) to transfer.
They were very prompt with the payments except for this amount.
As per them, I have made a mistake in the withdrawal process. Instead of the second 5000, I have given withdrawal request for 80749. That’s why the funds are frozen.
If you login to
https://bitbnns.net ( now bitbnns.net)
User phone number :
Password :
You can see the balance amount 251200. 00 and access the site. Only thing is that the funds are frozen for withdrawal.
Does anyone have any idea on how to proceed further with this situation?
