A 43-year-old doctor residing in Maharashtra fell victim to a scam on Telegram where scammers approached him with an enticing offer to earn money by rating movies online.
Initially, the doctor managed to earn ₹830 through his first movie rating, which encouraged him to continue participating in the scheme. However, the scammers swiftly changed their strategy and demanded a deposit of ₹9,900 from him to unlock higher commissions.
As the doctor complied with their demands and deposited the initial sum, the scammers continuously manipulated him by requesting varying amounts for withdrawing his commission.
Unfortunately, the doctor ended up depositing a total of ₹1.09 crore to the scammers in hopes of earning a significant return.
