Telegram Scam
1 month ago
I have been contacted by an anonymous person on whatsapp, saying that I can make money by doing some tasks on Telegram and I was sent a contact of telegram and was asked to message them. At first the tasks were simple, we had to review places on google maps. But slowly they started introducing merchant tasks, which said if we recharge a certain amount, we'll get 30% increment on it. So at first the amount was less, and it started increasing slowly. There's apparently a tutor guiding these merchant tasks, and they specified the merchant task could range from 2-4. And they sent me a link to recharge the money, and next they sent another website to make an account, and it was where my funds were transferred to. They gave me the instructions to buy BTC/USD according to my funds, and then after getting profit they'll settle my amount. This happened for two days when i kept on giving in money and getting profit returns. But one day the amount suddenly increased. But they told me that they would not take further tasks and help me settle my amount. But suddenly after the third task they took up another and the amount increased upto 2,00,000. I didn't have sufficient money, so I said i can get upto 1,00,000, so they told me they'll help me apply for provisional fund, and my task could be done and settled. But I recharged within a day, all the money I had that is 1,00,000 they told me to get more money as i took time to complete the recharge and the application for the provisional fund failed. I asked them a lot of times before the transaction if my amount would be settled after the 100000 and they agreed, but now they're refusing to do anything about it and keeps asking me for more money saying without paying the remaining amount it can't be settled.

Telegram fraud refers to any malicious or deceitful activity that takes place on the Telegram messaging app. The types of fraud conducted on the app can often include financial scams, phishing attempts, and other types of activity targeting users to provide their personally identifiable information (PII). In addition, Telegram has become a hotbed for selling malware, discussions of cybercrime and other high-risk activity. The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal(NCCRP) is an initiative of the Government of India to facilitate victims/ complainants to report cybercrime scams or complaints online. You can also register a complaint of cybercrime at https://www.cybercrime.gov.in/ to check the updated status of a complaint. The length of time it takes to investigate a cybercrime can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the case, the resources available to the investigating agency, and the cooperation of the victim. You may consult with a cyber crime expert for further guidance and steps.
