A.Dear Client,
It appears that being allured by the fake advertisement of the online data entry job, you were trapped by the digital fraudsters to extort money from you on either pretext with ulterior motives which is a criminal offense both under I T Act and IPC. So, just ignore their message, text or contact and block the connection. However, on receipt of any demand for money, you should inform the matter to local police station and Cyber Crime cell and serve a legal notice to their referred link and once you report the scam to the Police Station and Cyber Crime Cell, they may immediately block their link to hide their identity from social media to avoid criminal prosecution and legal consequences for the proven scam. Taking advantage of the unemployment crisis, the fake entities engaged them to trap the unemployed youth to extort money in digital platforms with fake identities. So, as explained above, in the given situation, serve a legal notice to the fraud entities before they serve you and bring the scam to the notice of the Police Station and Cyber Crime Cell with all the relevant documents, and sources to enable the investigating authority to find out the fraudsters and take appropriate action against them.

A.Dear client,
This is a clear case of online scam. Immediately complain a case against them to your local police station.
You can file a case under section 420 IPC , for cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property. Section 420 in the Indian Penal Code deals with Cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property.
