The receptionist added me to a group in telegram and the tasks starts from morning 10 am. There were 30+ people like me to perform tasks. We were given a list of tasks to perform and we get money for every 3 tasks. (Screenshot of the earning list attached #3).
The twist comes in at task 9, where they will ask you to put in Rs.1000 and in return they will send you Rs.1200 which is 20% profit, also the promised amount of Rs.240 for Task 7-9. I got alert and started to send private message to the group members that this is a scam and to save their money. To my surprise, I was removed from the group (I guess the few members of the group who I assumed to be like me were scammers themselves). My part in the scam was OVER.
I learnt this from research that these scammers use pump and dump strategy on illiquid crypto currencies and make big money. The scammers are the initial investors of the crypto and the victims money are used to pump up the price. They sell it on high price, making huge profit, while the victims end up losing all their money.
