A close relative of mine was approached on WhatsApp for a work from home Job which involved a small task of saving locations on Google maps.
She got continuous monetary returns for the job she performed and all of this looked legit.
Slowly the task changes to investing into stock via a website “cmce6165.com”. My friend sets up her account and starts investing.
All instructions of the task are shared in a telegram group. Slowly the amount of money deposited increased exponentially.
Once our funds were exhausted, we asked them to return our principal investment, no profits required. They denied the return savagely stating we were at fault because we chose the “wrong client name” when booking the trade from their website. Now to so called fix this, we have to invest more money for the “repair task”.
At this moment, my friend realised her plight and started begging them to return her hard earned savings. The gang totally ignored her and blamed her for the mistake. They say all her money is safely invested with them. We were able to look at it too but unable to do anything with it. Blocked totally.
Now comes the twist where they supposedly want to help my friend so they offer a new job. This involves receiving funds probably dollars into your account. Then transfer them to other people,”clients
Account” and receive a commission. This sounded more scary and fraudulent.
At this point my friend informed her family and reported the fraud to cyber crime.We submitted all details of the bank transfers and UPI payments to the authorities.
Waiting for further update from Cyber Crime, i request people to be more vigilant and careful of the brutal world around. Best Regards.
