Advance fee scam (generic)

Lost 9000 to an OLX Scam Now, more than anyone else, I am judging myself for taking this decision hastily. Context: Seller puts up an OLX Ad for ASUS TUF Dash F15 for 25000 ( it’s actually too low; but I was too desperate to get this laptop) I initially didn’t believe it but after I got their contact, I texted on WhatsApp Seller first told me it’s out of stock but can get another piece from a different dealer. Seller asks for 3000 advance, I paid it. Paid it through RuPay Credit Card UPI Seller calls again, asking for 6000 more. I was very suspicious but the story till then made sense to me so I ended up sending it to a different UPI ID. Did a UPI transfer I have already filed a cyber complaint and mailed my bank as well to dispute the transaction.

Pay to fix your CV scam I was approached by Cheryl Glas cherylglas740@gmail.com (this should have been my first clue) about a dream job. So she asks for my CV, then says it needs reworking, and for me to contact Nelson Kanayochukwu Didigwu on brandinganalystpro@gmail.com (my second clue) I was too excited by this particular role, and company that I didn't do enough checking. I pay $50 to get my CV polished, and then "Nelson" sends some AI rubbish and no sound from Cheryl. I know they /he/she will continue doing this, but at least someone will be warned about this. And they will have to rebrand.. There were several signs leading up to it, I didn't read into it. - Cheryl was very eager to get me to get my CV done, even messaging over the weekend (which I thought was very unprofessional) but I went ahead anyway. - once Nelson was connected on email, both of them kept on nagging me to get it done SOON. - but once I sent the cash, both are very silent. Please don't fall for this. Big scam. They prey on the desperation of people whore unemployed. Be careful. Look after yourselves!

Beware of Aantik Security Solutions (Director: Pradip Kumar Dey & Subhasree Saha Dey) - CCTV Vendor SCAM Had a really frustrating experience with a vendor we previously trusted, and I wanted to put this out there so other businesses/customer elsewhere don't get burned the same way. We've actually worked with Aantik Security Solutions & Service Private Limited (registered in West Bengal) twice before. Both past orders for CCTV materials went totally smoothly, good communication, timely delivery, no issues at all. Because of that trust when we placed our third order, we paid 100% advance as per their invoice, totaling ₹31,034. That was 150 days ago. We still haven't received a single item nor refund For months, it's just been an endless loop of creative excuses, new promised delivery dates that pass and then total silence. We finally got tired of this and sent a self-drafted legal notice over email and text, which they haven't taken seriously... When we checked reviews and comments in google maps we found few others also have not got their money back or ordered material. The directors, Pradip Kumar Dey and Subhasree Saha Dey, refuse to respond to calls, emails, or messages!!! Just a heads up to anyone sourcing security or CCTV items do not let a couple of smooth orders fool you like it did us total ghosting after taking 100% advance Details: 7908513922 : Prashant Da Cctv J PhonePe 7908513922-2@ibl 9332752445: Surbhi Interprises Asansol 7908400449: Aantik security solution Name : Punjab National Bank, Pandaveswar Account No. : 4736002100001479 IFSC code : PUNB0473600 Account holder's name : AANTIK SECURITY SOLUTIONS AND SERVICE PRIVATE LIMI DIRECTORS Pradip Kumar Dey - DIN 08530680 - Director since 06-08-2019 - listed as CEO/P Kumar on IndiaMart Subhasree Saha Dey - DIN 08530681 - Director since 06-08-2019 - listed as Company CEO "S Dey" on IndiaMart Pinaki Ranjan Dey - property owner (C/O reference), likely family Registered Address (MCA / ROC Official) C/O Pinaki Ranjan Dey, Pandaveswar Bazar, Near Tran Samity, Pandaveswar West, Durgapur, Bardhaman, West Bengal 713346 Physical / Shop Address (JustDial Verified) Pinaki Ranjan House, Bazar Road, Pandaveshwar, Bardhaman 713346 (Near Tran Samity, Baidyanathpur High School) Physical / Shop Address (IndiaMart listing) Pandaveswar, Bazar Para, School Road, Durgapur 713346, Purba Bardhaman, WB Physical Address (aantik.in product page) Bazar Road, N139, Baidyanathpur WB 713346 Second Location / Branch Pandaveswar Area More, Near SNG Honda Showroom, Pandaveswar 713346 (your finding) Third Location Borjora, Bankura, West Bengal 722202 IndiaMart registered city Asansol, Paschim Bardhaman, West Bengal (listed under Asansol on IndiaMart)

Guys beware and be careful It's an important post. In r/HardwareIndia sub, i made the post to buy a gpu (rtx 3060 12gb) and this guy approached me, and we had the basic discussions. The tests were fine and everything was normal, eventually when it came to payment, at first he said that he and i would settle at 50% but later told me he is a graphics designer and he needs to buy a 5070 and needs the payment and to send more and eventually by 16th of july, i made the full payment of 17.5k. After the payment he kept delaying the delivery, for which he told me he's doing some visa work and is unable to schedule the delivery which seemed a bit sus to me cause how are you not able to schedule simple delivery on a sunday or any other time. I was waiting for the delivery but sadly, my father passed away and i had to sell my pc to pay for the funeral services. So on the 5th of Aug, i told him there's no point of getting the gpu and return the money, he said he will. I asked him for a specific date and he said "Once i have taken care of my visa thing" and continued to delay it. After a while i got fed up and thought I asked him again he said that now he's in surgery, and bear with him. And now my suspension was way too high. I called on the phone no, he gave it to me and it turned out to be a phone no of a random post office. (ik it's dumb of me to not check the phone no the moment i got it but i was too excited to buy the gpu and didn't verify it) And then i realised that I've definitely gotten scammed, then i checked his profile and saw a ps5 listing, and there the comments proved that this guy his a scammer. So please everyone if you see him approaching be careful. I have screenshots of the whole Conversation and payment transaction. I also have his voter id if that's something that can help me, and his upi id. His name is Sudhanshu Chauhan it's the same guy who scammed u/dipeshlakh Also i did make a complaint against him and his acc has been on hold as he claims but it still requires him consent to return the payment so that sucks, ig my 17.5k is gone .

I think I may have fallen victim to a fake e-commerce / romance scam involving a platform called “THE OUTNET CN”. I met someone online who introduced me to this platform and encouraged me to open a store. At first everything looked legitimate, and I was able to see profits and balances inside the account. But when I tried to withdraw my funds, the platform demanded a $5000 “security deposit” because I requested emergency store closure before 90 days. The platform claims: the deposit is refundable after 14 days I cannot withdraw anything until it’s paid if I don’t pay, my account balance may be frozen or donated They also use TRC20 wallet addresses for deposits and communicate mostly through chat. Some red flags: constant pressure and urgency refusal to provide proper company registration threats about freezing funds no successful withdrawals suspicious domains connected to “THE OUTNET CN” One wallet they provided: TQNXxjveegfsw5ReftA4tzCtdJDsCkwFju

“Mr. Boaz” discord SCAM This is your warning for a Fake PrizePicks VIP Discord / Telegram scam - see pics in comments below I want to warn others about a scam involving a Discord server that promotes PrizePicks and advertises a nonexistent “VIP” channel. The scammers first charge you a fee to access the VIP Discord. After you pay, they direct you to another person on Telegram. That person then tells you that you need to pay to create a “Gamer ID” and asks for personal information and a photo. After the Gamer ID is created, they direct you to **another person on Telegram**, who then attempts to get you to send even more money to supposedly **stake/bet funds for you**. At this point, it appears to be a series of escalating payments, with each person directing you to another person who claims you need to pay for another service. Please be careful if you encounter a Discord group claiming to offer a PrizePicks VIP service. After you pay for monthly access, they reveal you need to pay for this “Gamer ID.” They request a picture with plans to hack your PrizePicks account. Do not send them money or provide personal information or photos.
