Online Job Cyber Crime: Internet has become such an important part of our life that it is almost impossible to get rid of it. Be it WhatsApp, Facebook or any other social media app, through these we stay connected with our loved ones, but at the same time we get connected with the web of cybercrime which has spoiled the lives of many people. On the other hand, if precautions are not taken, then the same will continue to happen in the future. Actually, we are talking about a new type of cyber fraud, in which it is claimed that money will be transferred to your account just by liking some videos. This method of earning money sitting at home will look tempting, but it is a big scam and nothing else. Many people have lost lakhs by getting trapped in this fraud and have even embraced death after losing.
The shocking revelation of this online fraud has been revealed in the investigation of ABP Live. Foreign numbers are being used in this new method of online fraud, which you need to be careful about. Let us know how this fraud is carried out and how people are trapped.
This is the method of online fraud in the name of giving job sitting at home-
First of all, a message will come on your WhatsApp from a foreign number, in which time will be asked to talk to you. When you reply, this reply will come from there- ‘Thankyou for replying My name is Makayla Alayah (any other name) from Sundaram Finance Company (any other company). I have an offer for you, you will just LIKE the youtube video and get a salary of 50 rs per video and earn 3000 rs to 5000 rs everyday. Do you want to try it YES OR NO?’ That is, a person will offer you a job by telling himself that he is an employee of a company. He will tell you that you will get Rs 50 for liking a YouTube video. Through this you can earn 3 thousand to 5 thousand rupees in a day. If you want to try it, then you have to answer yes or no.
These three tasks will be given to complete
If you said yes then your age will be asked (Ok dear, before we start, how old are you?). You will be asked whether you have a Telegram account or not. In this too, if you answered yes, then you will get a job offer, in which some YouTube links will be sent to you. By liking those links, you will be asked to send its screenshot. You will be claimed to be given 50 rupees on every screenshot. The message will come something like this-
+1 (351) 344-2253: Great! To show you how we work, I will send youtube links. You just need to Click “LIKE” when done send me a screenshot and you will be paid 150rs.

5000 will be given after 150 rupees
If you have done this, then this message will come from there – ‘Congratulations, you have completed the first task, for this you will get a salary of Rs.150. After getting 150 rupees, you can complete further tasks to earn 5000 thousand rupees. Welcome to the company. (Congratulations! You finish the first task you will get your 150 rupees salary for this one. After you receive your 150rupees salary you can proceed for more task for you to earn up to 3000rupees to 5000rupees daily. OK? WELCOME TO THE COMPANY!! )
After this you will be asked to talk to the payment officer. It will be written in the message- ‘Great, please wait reply then messege payment officer’s and follow her the instruction to earn more. Have a nice day!
Fraud will continue on Telegram after WhatsApp
After this the talk will shift to Telegram. Then the cycle of verification code, screenshot and photo will start again. A link to Telegram will come in the message. For example https://t.me/Neha55878 (This link has now been closed). Along with this, you will have to give your full name, age, position in the current job and bank details. Talking to the alleged payment officer, he will be asked to send his screenshot back to WhatsApp. Then it will be claimed that salary will come in your account in 30 minutes.
These details will be asked for sending to the Finance Department
Apart from WhatsApp, now the matter will go on Telegram. It is worth noting that the code that will be given to you will be the last five digits of your own phone number. You will get this message after sending the code on Telegram. After giving all the information, you will again be given a link and asked to join the channel. Then the person sitting on the other side of the number will ask you to fill the name, bank account number, name in the bank account, IFSC, to send to the finance department and then you will get the money.
After this, you must have understood that money will not come in the account, but the money kept will definitely be grabbed. The thing to note is that earning money can never be so easy and if someone is making such a claim, then it is a lie, in which you do not have to fall for it. In the process of earning easy money, your hard earned money can completely fly away. The same happened with a family from Madhya Pradesh.
This family of Madhya Pradesh became victim of this fraud
In the suicide note that was received by the police from the house of the deceased Bhupendra Vishwakarma, it is written that it is not understood what to do. Don’t know whose eyes fell on our lovely family. We want to apologize to our family members with folded hands. Everyone associated with us got very upset because of me. We were living happily with our family, but in April I received a WhatsApp message on my phone regarding an online job. Then offered again on Telegram. Agreed to do extra work to earn some extra money. Didn’t even have to spend much time for this. Initially there was some benefit, but gradually it started sinking into a quagmire and if I had got even a little time, I would have started doing that work. The work load was so much that I could not calculate the money spent in this work along with my work. Couldn’t even use this money at home.
Even before that, the pressure of work started increasing on me. When I ran out of all the money, the company people started asking for loan and agreement. I refused because my CIBIL was bad. When I tried at the behest of the company’s people, I got the loan immediately, which kept pouring in the company like water. Before starting this work, I checked the website which is the best e-commerce company and gets the work done for TRP. The company was from Colombia, in which it started work after Corona, but did not know that it would stand at this juncture that we would not see any way out.
After being a victim of online job, I felt that as soon as I get the money, I will clear everyone’s loan and leave it all. But I could not understand that all this would happen. The people doing online jobs made me so much in debt that even I myself kept on getting surprised. I understand that I have been cheated. Went to cyber crime office to give all the information about it, but due to non-availability of officer there and due to holiday, it was postponed. Today the time has come to leave the job as well. I can’t see my future and my family’s future. I am no longer fit to show my face to anyone. How will I be able to see my family? I cannot leave my family in trouble, so I am taking my wife and children along with me.
