Telegram merchant task

Requested from NBI by C. Losentes at 01:07 AM on May 09, 2023.
Purpose: Hoping to get my money back and prevent others being scammed
Date of Coverage: 05/04/2023 - 05/06/2023
Tracking no: #NBI-627757760500

Hi! I would like to report these scammers. At first they approached me with this number using whatsapp 09519138450 saying they would offer me a part time job. They sent me an account to follow in instagram then they paid me for it in gcash. After that they let me download telegram because all other tasks will be given there. They will pay you by just giving reviews/rates to tourist attractions or restaurants in google map but they also have tasks where you need to have prepayment for you to get paid. If you will try a small amount they will return your capital with interest

That’s their way of luring you until you try a larger amount. They will remove you to the group chat where all the members are in including the new ones (to prevent reporting) and will join you to another group where they will give instructions however they will give you more than one task to force you to invest a much larger amount so you can withdraw your capital and interest but if you don’t add another amount then they will take your money

Losentes 01:15 AM, May 09, 2023 

That’s what happened to me and to others that reported the same thing I believe. I tried convincing them to let me join to that group chat again to atleast make up the money they took but they won’t! I hope I can still get my money back and this will be resolved. Please help us who were victimized by this and to others who are still not aware of this
