Long story short, my college got a message from one of the fake internship companies. I blindly fell for it, registered and paid 3500 rupees as mentioned by one of their representatives who called me.

An hour later, I receive a WhatsApp message that this is a scam and to immediately pull out of their WhatsApp groups.

Unfortunately, the damage has already been done and despite everything, they refused to give my money back.

Is there anyway to go legally? I know for 3.5k, it sounds too much, but I got that money after a long time due to the festive season, and to think all of it was lost due to a scam I foolishly fell for, is beyond shocking.

Please help me out. The company’s name is Plasmid, and it was today upon research, that I found out this was a long running scam.
