It all started on whatsapp. The lady messaged me with offer of Part Time Job where I’ll get 8000rs per day. And for that I don’t have to pay single rupee. She gave me first task by asking to review some hotels and restaurants nearby Mumbai location. Then she send a verification code and asked to connect with receptionist on telegram named Aarushi Rishi (@officialarushi46). After completion of some reviews for restaurants i got paid an amount of 150rs. Then they convinced me to deposit 501 rs to a merchant account and i will be getting the amount back in 10 to 15 mins. After I had transferred the said amount to the account, I was asked to register on a link of online trading (https://ig2019.com/h5/#/) and asked me to sign in. Thereafter I was asked to contact a mentor named Asha on telegram (@Asha789644). Talking to her, she asked me to update the details on the platform with account number and Ifsc. Asked me to trade the amount which i had paid which was showing in the platform already. Soon after i was paid back with the profit which is 150rs plus bonus of 100rs. Then i was asked to continue with the task and to complete all 12 tasks to get more profit. The task was to review 5 more restaurants again around Mumbai. 12th task was called a prepaid mission on which I had to pay an amount of 1000 and get a cashback of 1300. I was told that i could get the return within 10 to 20 mins. After transferring the 1000, she said that i had to go through one more pre payment and pay 5000 to get a cashback and it is only merchant decision to how tasks are planned.
After spending that 6000 in total, I was paid 8000 within 2 hours. The next day, I was added to a group asking me to do a group task. The starting amount was 6881rs, which after long conversations was convinced to choose. Again for a second task, I was asked to transfer another 18880 to save my 6881 I sent beforeand get more in return. Then they came up with another task linked and asked me to transfer another 84000 the next day which I had to inorder to not lose all these 6881, 18880. Then there came 4th task in group, where all group members were so convincing to do complete the task. 4th task was to transfer an amount of 208888 inr. I was confused as if to leave it or to send it to save all the money i have already sent. I had to find ways to send them as divisions and to complete it within next day morning. After all this, I was asked to visit the trading platform to trade on a specific name as they pointed out, which was different from what has been traded for previous transactions. After trading, she pointed out that i had traded on a different account and money cannot be withrawed. She then came up with a repair plan where I had to transfer an amount of 400000 in sum to a merchant account and to withdraw all this together plus commission. I said i don’t have that kind of money now and to kindly help. She said she can’t help personally but with get me a loan from the company for 150000. Rest 250000 ill have to arrange which I must to get my 318657 back. I somehow lending money from my friends arranged that 250000 and sent to the merchant accounts provided. All this time I could see the balance in the trading platform rising. It is showing 718646inr now.( spent amount is 568657inr). She then tells me to go ahead and make the withdrawal with the option available on the platform and the amount will then be transferred to my personal account. Trying this, I couldn’t do the withdrawal as the error popped up stating that I don’t have enough credit score on the platform. Asking with her, so called teacher, she said that the credit score is low because of the time taken for the transactions and because I lend money 150000 from the trading company. So inorder to make my credit score reach from 88 to 90, I will have to transfer another 10000 to a merchant account as this will help me improve my score and finally withdraw. By lending money from my friends and family, I then transferred that 100000 in total by 25.04.2023 8.15 pm. Notified her of the transaction. By 9.00, this was confirmed and I was told to withdraw the amount. As shown in the website. The website showed 968646inr. After I clicked on withdrawal tab, she said ill have wait for another 20 to 30 mins and all will be transferred to my personal account. So I waited all night. As the money wasn’t credited I kept on messaging her on telegram about the issue. Finally I got the reply from her stating that she just came to know from the merchant that inorder to transfer this big money, ill have to activate a ‘VIP large withdrawal channel’. For this ill be needed to transfer 400000 in sum. I am still in contact with the so called ‘teacher’. She keeps on insisting that she can get me all the money I have spend plus that commission and everything. And 1400000 in total as returns once I send that 400000 to the account. I can still see the 968646 in the trading platform. But there is no way I can withdraw the amount.
