        I have encountered a person who have messaged me in the WhatsApp.
        He told me that if you give 5 * Google reviews to this hotel. I will give you 200 rupees.

        I did that and send him my upi number. He has sent 200 rs to my main account.
        Now they told to download telegram and join one group where I will get task like earlier and bring opportunity of earning money.

        I told them I will join then I later realises that this way my bank account can be freeze.

        Yes I did mistake ๐Ÿ˜” by giving upi number of my main account.
        Not sure what I should do.

          You saved yourself from big telegram scam. Don’t worry. Remove yourself from WhatsApp &: Telegram groups and don’t proceed further. Otherwise, they will ask for advance deposit – where the scam begins.

                    These scams start with unsolicited Telegram messages offering easy money for simple online tasks (likes, reviews, subscriptions). Say, โ‚น50 or โ‚น100 โ€“ for performing a simple online task, like liking a social media post, subscribing to a YouTube channel, or leaving a positive review. They build trust with small initial payouts and then add you to large groups with fake success stories. The scam escalates when they introduce “prepaid” or “VIP” tasks requiring you to send them money for higher returns. You’ll see messages like “Just earned โ‚น5,000 in a day! Thanks to this amazing platform!”. They use fake screenshots and pressure tactics to get larger investments, and then they disappear once they’ve taken a significant amount, leaving you with a financial loss and a harsh lesson learned.

                      Curious. How did they manage to freeze your account?

                          These are scams, they ask other people to send money to some random person which in case here is op. Thus any accounts linked with the scam get frozen despite having only credit or debits

                              >These are scams, they ask other people to send money to some random person which in case here is op.

                              But How does it benefit the scammer ?

                              This does not make sense.

                                  See, it’s a cycle. Lets assume there are 4 people

                                  A- Scammer
                                  B- 1st Victim
                                  C-2nd Victim
                                  D- 3rd Victim.

                                  A will ask B to transfer X amount of funds to D’s a/c. Then A and his accomplices will ask D to transfer X minus some amount (for making D believe he earned something) to C’s a/c. Then this cycle continues. After this, A will manipulate B, C and D into thinking that they are transferring money to random people and earning commission. A might show some sort of website that shows some profits of the value they’ve transferred to each other. Usually in such scams there are only 1 or 2 victims and 5-6 accomplices in telegram groups hidden as normal people.

                                  You can watch videos to get more clarity. This is only a situation that I’ve mentioned above, of which I’ve shown how much I remember. There are multiple other scams like these on telegram

                              Since the money has already been credited in your account, there is nothing you can do on your part. If anyone complains, and the scammer’s account gets scrutinized, and they get your account in trails, then mostly they freeze the amount only. Very rarely they put the complete debit freeze. So, the best you can do is to move your money into another account, and route further payments to another account too, for next 5-6 months. If nothing happens by that time, then most probably will not happen any further too.

                                  You mean they will freeze only 200 rupees

                                      In most cases, yes. They only freeze the disputed amount. But in some cases, they put the entire Debit freeze. It’s totally upto authorities.

                                        But if they find any other suspicious activities they might freeze the a/c for debit
