March 30, 2025 at 5:46 pmHey everyone,I need some legal advice regarding my 18-year-old friend who is in trouble due to his involvement in an online color prediction gambling platform. He used to work as an agent, earning commissions through referrals.
One of the players under his referral was a girl who had already lost a lot of money to scams and was in significant debt. She kept playing to recover her losses. My friend would provide her with predictions, and at times, she even made good profits.
However, when she tried to withdraw her winnings, the website repeatedly declined her requests, citing various excuses and errors. The customer support asked her to deposit more money to process the withdrawals, and she did. But even after a month, she hasn’t received any withdrawals.
The issue is that she sent the money to my friend’s Mobikwik Pocket UPI, which is not in his name. He then forwarded the money as per the site’s demands. Now, she is accusing him of scamming her and is threatening to file an FIR against him. She also claims to have a friend with connections who is pressuring him.
The only mistake my friend made was accepting her money and helping her play the game. He had no control over the withdrawals, and he wasn’t personally running the site. However, now he’s being blamed for everything.
My friend is scared and doesn’t know what to do. He didn’t personally scam her, but he was involved in the process. How should he handle this situation? Is there any way to resolve this without legal trouble? Any advice on what steps to take would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

March 31, 2025 at 3:25 amLook into this with your POV:The website he used to work on did give withdrawals to the players , this is the reason why he was working on it
She already knew that this games either gives off good money or you go in more debts .
She is telling her : “mai kuch v bolke tumhare upar FIR krdungi “ and the her friend is saying that he will send “scammed money” to his bank account to make things worse.
He did not had any involvement in this process
The website used to give withdrawals thats why he was working on it
The only mistake of his was to take the money in his UPI and deposit to her
it wasnt even like he forced her or manipulated her she did it with her own needs and pressurized him.
