I saw an investment plan on a Telegram channel that promised to double the money. I contacted the person and sent ₹2,000 as per the plan, which stated that I would receive ₹10,000 in return. After 45 minutes, I waited for over an hour. Then he said that my profit was ₹15,840 and that I needed to pay ₹5,840 as GST to get the amount. I told him I didn’t have ₹5,000 and requested a refund of my ₹2,000. He said it would take over 8 hours. Now he is seeing my messages but not replying.
