Here's a detailed story based on the scam process you shared:
*The Allure of Easy Money*
I received a message from Sophia Lucas, claiming to be an HR Manager at Upwork, [removed by editor]. She promised a lucrative online job opportunity with daily earnings of Rs. 6000-9000. The offer seemed too good to be true, but I was desperate for extra income.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sophia asked me to install Telegram and connect with her [removed by editor] and Tony [removed by editor] They guided me through a series of tasks, promising a salary and commissions.<br />
<br />
<br />
*The Hook*<br />
<br />
<br />
I was instructed to register on a suspicious website (urxlia.top) using an invitation code (46932). I received a small payment (Rs. 150) as a "test" payment, which gained my trust.<br />
<br />
<br />
*The Scam Unfolds*<br />
<br />
<br />
Sophia introduced me to Mridatoni (Tony), who explained the "merchant benefits" task. I was asked to recharge an account with Rs. 5000 and promised a 40% commission (Rs. 7000). I deposited the amount into a SadaPay account.<br />
<br />
<br />
*The Upsell*<br />
<br />
<br />
After completing the initial task, Tony presented me with more lucrative options:<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Recharge Rs. 12,000, get 40% commission (Rs. 16,800)<br />
2. Recharge Rs. 30,000, get 40% commission (Rs. 42,000)<br />
3. Recharge Rs. 50,000, get 40% commission (Rs. 70,000)<br />
<br />
<br />
I was convinced to invest more, hoping to earn higher commissions.<br />
<br />
<br />
*The Final Trap*<br />
<br />
<br />
Tony introduced me to a "high-level task" with higher rewards:<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Prepay Rs. 52,000, get 70% commission (Rs. 88,400)<br />
2. Prepay Rs. 86,000, get 80% commission (Rs. 154,800)<br />
3. Prepay Rs. 120,000, get 90% commission (Rs. 228,000)<br />
<br />
<br />
When I questioned the need for further investment, Tony reminded me of the agreement and warned that abandoning the task would result in losing my deposited amount.<br />
<br />
<br />
*The Reality*<br />
<br />
<br />
I realized too late that I had fallen victim to a sophisticated online scam. The scammers had cleverly manipulated me into depositing money into their accounts, with promises of unrealistic returns.<br />
<br />
<br />
*The Lesson*<br />
<br />
<br />
Verify company authenticity, research online, and never share sensitive information. Be cautious of unsolicited offers, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.<br />
<br />
<br />
