Patreon Chat Ltd. Online scam
Yesterday morning (25/09/2023), I received a message on WhatsApp claiming daily income of 2000 to 2700 rupees without any upfront investment. Before proceeding, they sent me 3 videos, offering 50 rupees per video. After watching the videos, I was supposed to receive 150 rupees. They instructed me to contact their staff member on Telegram to receive the payment. Upon contacting them, I was asked for my bank details, which I provided. They then transferred 150 rupees to my account. Subsequently, I was asked to complete 22 tasks, divided into sections like 1-5, 6-10, 11-16, and 17-22. They promised to refund money in between the tasks and also offered special tasks like paying 1000 rupees to receive 1300 rupees.
Initially, I paid 1000 rupees, and then they encouraged me to continue. I chose the 0 rupees option, and they sent me 250 rupees (50*5) plus 1300 rupees. I gained confidence in the process. However, I faced difficulty in completing tasks 11-16 and got stuck on task 15. At this point, I invested 3000 rupees for the first mission. I invested 3500 rupees for the second mission. For the next mission i invested 25000. After that they asked me to invest 65000. Unfortunately, the option for 0 rupees was not available. I expressed my inability to invest more money and requested a refund. Despite my request, they persuaded me, offering a 24-hour window to make the payment in order to receive a code for the promised amount. However, I became skeptical and realized I was making a mistake. I decided not to proceed further.
I am now seeking assistance to recover the total amount I invested (31500rupees + interest 9450 rupees, totaling 40950 rupees) and requesting a refund. I have uploaded the documents they provided. This situation has caused me significant stress, and I appreciate your help. Thank you.
