In this earlier article, I elaborated clearly how can you will be cheated of lakhs by combining whatsapp and telegram scam and that article receives a grest boost and people like that article and that provides me of immense pleasure to write down another similar scam but this time they are not doing through internet banking methods but they do through UPI payments and OTP frauds.
This scam consists of two phases and I will, be posting both whatsapp and telegram conversations in order to warn the readers to know about this scam and should not just flow with the tide and should be alerted about this. First in the following I will be providing details of Whatsapp conversations and just try to understand how these scamsters work. At first they provide the 3 task and here task means they will provide the link of a website and you just to browse the website and then take the screenshot of it as the prove of visiting the website and then send to them and they call these as tasks and they say that they will provide us with three tasks and the exact conversations with them I provided below to alert users about this..
They said that they will pay rs 114 for three tasks and in the beginning there will be no mention of telegram use as they will convince you to work through Whatsapp. They will provide you Task 1 and Task 2 in whatsapp and then for the Task-3 they will provide you with one username opf Telegram and ask you whether you have telegram username and if you provide that then they will provide you with a username to follow and alsdo ask you ti send the screenshot of joining that telegram number. As you will have to in order to complete task 3 and the lure of getting rs 114 for three task completed. So, for this fraudster compel you to move to Telegram from Whatsapp.
Better be safe than sorry:
In order to transfer money from you to them this time they will provide you one UPI id such as here they provide increase amount such as if you gave them rs 1111 to them through UPI payment they they say that they will provide you with rs 1444 and which is false and do not become rey to their tactics and stay out of these traps by these fraudsters and if you go through all of these Whatsapp and Telegram conversation then you will know how these fraudsters work and tricks as they bring you from Whatsapp to Telegram so that they can hide their identities. It is important to learn the way fraudsters work and do not fall prey as once you give them money then all of a sudden everything will be depeted and you will not find any trace of their presence as their all the profiles and whatsapp will be deleted forever and you could lose all of yours money forever so it is important to be better safe than sorry and be alert.
