There are multiple groups of scammers on telegram with their fake website Tripadvisor . These scammers search for victims , introduce them with the platform , add them to different groups , show their fake profits to attract the people for prepaid tasks. For prepaid tasks one is required to pay certain amount , complete 30 ratings and withdraw the amount with commission. In my case, In the initial 2 days of my work , everything was going good , as I was able to withdraw the amount with bonus successfully . On the third day I deposited 30000 rupees and started with rating. On the 18th rating I was paused and was asked to pay 70389 to continue . When I asked the senior , who guided me about this platform , he said it was premium task which will give me 5x commission. I deposited 70389 rupees and started 18th rating onward , then on 24th rating I was again paused and asked to pay 171992 rupees. Without depositing these , I could neither withdraw my deposited amount nor I could move on to complete 30 ratings . After some days via Youtube videos I came to know about about this Telegram prepaid scam . I denied to pay them 171992 rupees . Then they removed me from the group and deleted the chats . This is how I lost my 1 lakh rupees . Out of these 1 lakh , about 40000 are those which I received as bonus in the initial two days and remaining 60000 are mine own. And I have recognised many victims who have paid very high amount and not able to withdraw.
