Udupi, Jul 4: A young student from Udupi lost Rs 2.2 lac to online fraudsters after clicking on a message promising earnings through task completion on WhatsApp.

A student at Manipal, received a ‘Review Job & Prepaid Tasks’ message on WhatsApp on June 23. Out of curiosity, she completed the task and received Rs 205 in her bank account immediately. Later, a stranger sent her a LinkedIn idea 2024 Group 827th link to join a Telegram group.

The fraudsters then asked the victim to deposit Rs 4,600 in prepaid tasks as an investment. She received Rs 5,850 in her bank account immediately afterward. Enticed by the prospect of getting more returns, the victim deposited Rs 2.2 lac into the fraudsters' bank accounts. However, she did not hear from them again.

A case has been filed at the Manipal police station regarding the incident.

    Its a old trick.One should think noone has anything to simply offer.Everyone is back of money.Before one take up the job offer must seriously think why they give and what type of job .First of all they must take info about the person.From where this student had so much money?

    By clicking on the link one will not loose money in this online TRAP. they will make us to deposit money into thier account by giving us small profits, like quick return transfer of rs 1300 for investment of 1k. I lost 25k. they asked me to deposit saying in return i will get 40k as a profit within 15 minutes.

    Agree with you, BT i wonder why common sense did not work during that time. immediately after transferring money I realized i made a blunder mistake but it was too late as she ( they call her as receptionist ) was asking me to deposit another installment of Rs 25k to get my all fund return with good amount of profit.

    yea, by that time i realized that i got myself into a well planned TRAP as she ( calling herself as receptionist of that company) was asking me to transfer another installment of rs 25k to get my money back with good profit. When i asked for my money back she kept saying you need to pay another installment you cannot quit the task in between as this is the rule of task and all. I tried all the way to connect them through internal call it was ringing but ( They use unique international number in Telegram) but no response. after all it was my foolishness & blunder mistake so thought of taking it as a lesson and letting it go as did not had any alternate option either. this had happened one year ago. after that i tried ( at my level) to spread awareness about this onlineTRAP in whats app groups & Facebook. also there have been plenty of awareness in social media about this fraudsters But no use. no of people becoming scapegoat's of this online TRAP have been increasing day by day.

    No regrets! She deserved for her foolishness. By the way how a student would have such a huge amount ready in savings account?

    Just imagine if everyone had jobs—people would be more focused on productive activities instead of wasting time on other pursuits. Countries like Dubai and Bahrain are great examples, where work keeps everyone occupied, leaving little time for anything else except essential breaks. Employment not only fuels economic growth but also reduces the likelihood of social unrest like riots and political rallies. When people are gainfully employed, they contribute positively to their communities and prioritize their responsibilities.

    Empathize with her loss! You can imagine the standard of the institution whichever which has not imparted the most basic and important attributes in life, forget PhD, MDes etc etc, that of "common sense and logic"; appalling indeed!!

    It's actually a time pass activity for most students, getting a big paper degree sans 😁 basics!
