Welcome to all of you, Today I want to share a real-life incident with you guys. In today’s time, social media has become very popular, in a few years, social media has made a lot of progress in the market and is doing so even today.
In today’s time, if someone does not have an account on Social media, then it is not considered to exist, HA HA… as if social media has become your digital identity in a way. If you want to know something about someone or want to find someone, then now you just have to know his social media handle, through which you can talk to him. Now you do not have to take his mobile number to talk to someone like before. You can talk to any person from anywhere in the world without any phone number.
Social crime is increasing with the progress of social media. Today I am going to share the experience of one such real-life incident, that too with real proof.

Crime is such that you transfer your money from your account to another’s account on your own and you will not even know that you are being cheated. Isn’t it interesting? Want to know how? let’s start, These incidents happened with my some of friends.
First, you get WhatsApp messages from fake international numbers like (+84 ), (+62 ), (+1 309), etc.
These people will message you saying that this is HR and they have a job offer for you, some will say part-time job, and some will say freelancing, I have cases of both.

May I tell you about freelancing first, if you are an earning youth, then you will think that what is the harm in side income and you will agree without thinking much, my friend also did the same.
After that, they will tell you that they have a partnership with youtube merchants, so your job is to like youtube vlogs and videos which will earn you money, you don’t need to watch videos Just like them.

After this, if you agree, then they will give you tasks, on completion of which you will get a salary, after knowing all this my friend agreed, then in the task, he got 3 YouTube links, which he had to like and share screenshots. He did share screenshots by liking.

Then gave her the salary code and a telegram link and told her that this is your receptionist, share your salary code with her and she will credit her salary to your account and you will get Rs 150 in your first salary, he did as told.

And guess what? he got Money 🤩. Seeing this, no one can think that all this is fake.

Then, they came into their reality, when the money was credited to the account of the truth my friend was motivated to do the task and he was told that he would like to do more tasks.
Then he said that now you have to do paid tasks. He said that you will get a 30% commission for every prepaid task. So my friend selected the minimum amount of 1000 then gave him the UPI id of an unknown merchant account and said to transfer it and share the screenshot after the transfer, he did the same.

After this step, he was given a link and told to open this link and register and share the registered email address and screenshot. Then gave him the link to another person’s Telegram account and gave him a password, then asked him to share the password and tell her that you have got 1000 prepaid done, these people used to call that person a teacher. That teacher makes you do some steps and will give you a code, you then share that code with the receptionist and the receptionist will put in your refund request, then you are asked for your account details for transfer.

And guess what? Do you think money will come?

Another shocking thing is money will come with a 30% commission.

After that my friend again selected 1000 recharge in the next day’s task then she was told that 1000 was only for newcomers and now select some other amount,

then my friend selected 3000, and now a time limit was set and given the task Now he was given a second UPI id of transfers and told to transfer 3000 in this and share a screenshot in 10 minutes, after this step he was given the code again and then all the steps were repeated.

On the third day, my friend was again asked to select another amount and he selected 7000 and got a recharge done, the code was given and she asked to contact the teacher.

This time teacher made a telegram group with some 4 unknown people and said this is a group task (Unfortunately, I don’t have group chats), after a recharge of 7000, she said that there is a requirement of the merchant that more recharge of Rs.30900 should be done and the complete task should be done within 2 hours. See, again he requested for recharge of Rs.30,900 amount.

everyone raised the question of more recharges!? But everyone did the boot with my friend thinking that it would be refunded along with the commission. But then the teacher said that now there is a requirement of the merchant to recharge 98000 more, seriously! 98000.😱

Approx. 1 lakh is not a normal thing for a common man, that’s why all the people said that this is not right, till now you got individual tasks done and now group task and transfer on transfer in this task too but the teacher said it’s a group task and you all have to complete the tasks according to the requirement otherwise, you’ll not get a refund. Then what was it, no one could give the money, because who knew that suddenly one after the other and then such a huge amount would be required.

And then what was there, you must have understood that you have lost all the money. So in today’s era of modern social media, you can be looted in this way, due to the greed of small victories, you can suffer big losses. So be a little wiser and careful from the web of these frauds.

If you want to know more about such real-life incidents, that too with proof, then definitely give applause, it gives me motivation.
