Fake Work From Home Jobs: Telegram and Data Entry Scams
A student sees a Telegram message: “Earn Rs 3,000 daily from home. No experience. Simple tasks.” A homemaker gets a WhatsApp message from a “HR manager”. An unemployed youth is told to pay Rs 799 for registration and then start data entry work.
At first it feels harmless. Then the scam grows. The victim pays for tasks, pays for salary release, pays for GST, pays for verification, or gives a bank account for “company transactions”.
Quick Reply: A real work from home job does not ask you to pay money to unlock salary, complete prepaid tasks, rent your bank account, or deposit tax to a private UPI ID. If you lost money, call 1930 quickly, report at cybercrime.gov.in, inform your bank, and preserve chats, UPI IDs, phone numbers, links, and payment proof.
