Scam on telegram
1 month ago
I contacted a call girl service provider through telegram. And transferred 499 out of 3500 to there UPI account as an booking amount. Then they give me the hotel location and told me to wait outside the hotel once reached. After reaching at the location they asked for 3100 which i transferred after that they send me an otp with a message on telegram saying that as i am there first time user i have to pay 9777 as an security deposit which will get refunded after the service. Which i payed. But then i again received a message saying that i have to pay 9777 again as an security deposit for her as well which i didn't payed. Then i asked for a refund and they are saying you have to pay the remaining amount first for processing the refund. We can not process refund without it. Should i file a complaint in cyber cell. Will i get charged for the same as well. Will my get to know what i did.
