The sequence of fraud happens like this.

Initially, the victim receives a message that would like to earn 2k to 5k a day by doing a part time job. Once, he shows the interest, the fraudster sends a link to the victim’s mobile phone.
Whenever the victim opens that link, it leads to what’s app where fraudster says Hi, and when victim responds, the fraudster calls him and explains him that he would give a Job of reviewing a website or watching a YouTube video for which victim will be given money.
Then, fraudster sends a link to victim tells him that if he reviews it send a receipt to him, and he would be given money. Thereafter, when victim clicks the link, it leads to a fake website or YouTube and after reviewing it, a reference number and receipt will be generated. Later, when victim send the receipt to fraudster through what’s app, he calls and inform the victim that he would be given money by his receptionist and ask him to contact her through a link send by him.
When such link is opened, he will be taken to a telegram app and a lady calls victim, and ask for reference number and his bank account details. When victim sends reference number and his account details, she sends money ranging from Rs. 150 to 500. Likewise, victim will be given some money and his confidence be gained by the fraudsters.
Thereafter, real story starts. After gaining confidence of a victim, the fraudster asked him into invest in prepaid tasks. Thereafter, victims will register themself in the websites created with Chinese domains and will be given a task to perform, where the victim’s amount has continuously been showing as profits, but he won't be given withdrawal option. Indeed, there never be a profit as shown on the website. It’s just a digital deception to con the victims. When victim insists for withdrawal of profits, they start asking him to pay more money on the pretext of profit tax, dividend tax, etc and siphon off all money sent by the victims.

Thereafter, all fake websites, what’s app, and other communications will disappear. Apart from this modus operandi, the victims are duped in another way. He will be given PREPAID TASK and will be added to a group of– OKX DATA TASK (https://t.me/+QmJclUtbBYc1NjFk) on Telegram and ask victim to finish prepaid task initially with Rs 1000 and after viewing some websites and videos, they will deposit money genuinely. Later, again with more tasks, ask to deposit more money, as and when victim deposit more money, it shows the money was added to his account, but he can’t withdraw. To get back his profit amount, he will be asked to deposit more money in the name of tax, or unfreeze charges etc. ultimately, by the time victim realizes that he was duped, all of them vanished and the links they send disappear.

The victim usually believes the fraudsters that the amount being paid to them through account to different current accounts of Indian entities. However, all these account holders never know the crime, it’s perpetrators and they are just money mules and provide their accounts on commission basis through third parties. The actual cyber criminals usually Chinese sit in Cambodia and other south East Asia countries, crate these deceptive websites and design the crime and looting crores of rupees from gullible public. As and when money is sent accounts of money mules, they immediately withdraw it and converted into Crypto and leave no trace.
