I received a Whatsapp message about a Part time work opportunity in which I have to like and subscribe to Youtube videos for a small commission. Initially, it seemed harmless as they had deposited the promised Rs. 280 or Rs. 590 into your account. But later, they ask you to complete high-quality tasks that fetch you more commission. This is when the real scam begins. First, they ask you to deposit Rs. 1000 into an online gaming platform wallet and immediately send it back to you with an additional commission, like Rs 250. Now that they have your trust, another officer will contact you about depositing more money, around Rs. 4800, to begin the task. They will not tell you that in order to get this back, you would have to spend more money on upcoming tasks. As the betting game progresses, you will have to deposit more money like Rs. 9000 and later Rs. 30000 to get you initial deposit back. They make tall claims that you would earn around 40% of commission on your deposit, totaling up to Rs. 59000. We begin with a greed to earn more and later spend more to get back the deposits. By the end of it all... we lose all the money.

They have fake certificates about some guaranteed benefit payment and make it look all legitimate. Moreover, you will be put in a group of other people who claim to join the betting game with you to perform the joint task and that they have received so much money in their previous bouts. They encourage you to spend from your pocket and show screenshots that they have made so much money

The real catch is the secrecy of not informing you the tasks ahead of time. If they would have informed me about these high quality tasks, I would never have taken it up. But they keep you in the dark and play you like robots without revealing the entire game. By the time you realize, you would have already lost money
