New Ponzi Scheme Perpetrated Through Telegram App by samonak(m): 5:44pm On Dec 29, 2023 |
There's a new Ponzi scheme carried out on Telegram app by some fraudulent characters and has been used to fleece many Nigerians of their hard earned money. The scheme is very ingenious and done anonymously. These fraudsters masquerade as online affiliate marketers looking for people to carry out online tasks and remote jobs for a fee. The tasks involve giving 5- star reviews of mostly posh and classy eateries and restaurants on google maps. ( You'll be paid #1k for each review. That's the first bait) and purchasing mining robots on : https://a3.oraclesminings.com. In addition to this reviews, You're required to perform commercial orders which involves "investing" your personal funds and in turn you'll be given cash back. Which includes your capital and 30% profit. A summary of these ponzi scheme starts with you being contacted on WhatsApp and being propositioned with the offer of whether you're interested in remote online jobs where you'll be paid a commission for each task done online. If you answer in the affirmative, you'll be assigned a "receptionist" who'll now assign you tasks and pay the commissions into your account. The receptionist also provides recharge accounts where you pay your money into. While carrying out the commercial orders, the receptionist assigns you to a "teacher" who will now instruct you on how to purchase the trading robots on the oracle mining site. Here you will order mining robots equivalent to the amount you want to invest, eg 50k to get a cash back of 65k. Or 100k to get 130k etc. Most times you're are required to make 1 or 2 orders on a work group created on Telegram by the teacher. Other participants ( 5-6 people) are added to perform the tasks which involves paying for robots. This is where the major fraud is perpetrated. For instance, a victim opted for 50k package ( which he paid) and expected to get 65k, instead he was asked to pay 350k since his group was expected to carry out 2 commercial orders. He struggled to pay expecting to make a profit of over 500k. Unfortunately, after shelling out 400k, he was now told that it was 3 commercial orders and not 2, and now he was expected to bring 860k(which was beyond his capacity) in order to get back all his profit. That was how he lost 400k! Many Nigerians have fallen victim to the antics of this fraudsters. Be careful if you come across this scheme on Telegram. Its a big FRAUD. 1 Like

Elbona: Easiest way to con Nigerians these days is to tell them to "invest" in something. Once they hear invest and abnormally high returns they are quick to fall. |

I made 12k from this same kind of stuff. A number messaged me out of blues on WhatsApp asking me if I was interested in an online job, to which I replied in the affirmative. The person referred me to a "receptionist" on telegram who told me how the job worked and then added me to a group with over 10k people in it. The job involves basically dropping reviews of businesses on Google. The first task I did was for 2k. And the money was transferred in less than 30 mins. The subsequent tasks were 1k per review. The next day I decided to make the most of the opportunity. After making the next 5k, the receptionist said that I will need to invest in one of the tasks in order to ensure continued access the paid tasks. The investment ranged from 20k to 1mil. I told her no P. I'll invest. That same day, I made another 5k and bid them farewell. I knew that the whole scenerio was too good to true so I didn't invest a dime. These scammers are getting smart. They are now entering into scamming with enough investment. They're willing to gift you easy money so that you'd let your guard down and the instant you try to invest with them, they'll show you their true color. |

Telegram should disable the ability to lock group thereby preventing members from chatting. If you could speak with other users of the group at anytime, it would be obvious that the whole nonsense was a scam. But telegram will never agree to this. They know that they have a scam problem but are very much unwilling to do anything about it. |
