Most of us looking for ways to make easy money. The shortest route looks lucrative but has its own repercussions. In the market right now, there are various financial frauds taking place.
Imagine investing your hard-earned money and watch it vanish overnight.
There are multiple apps and portals live to invest in India and all over. But, how do you really gain the trust of all these firms? Some fraudsters have begun utilizing global brand names and wooed potential investors.
Despite watching several financial scam web series on Netflix, now I’m a victim myself. In the recent past, I did manage to dodge such malicious attempts via the digital space but succumbed to one recently.
If your trusted friend advises you to invest in a reliable firm, before giving a deep thought, you would actually go ahead. When you see the ‘Amazon’ brand in the title, you wouldn’t hesitate to back out.
I’m talking about this new scam — Order Grabbing.
How it works:
1. Download the app or visit the portal — abc.cncweb.vip
2. Register using your mobile number
3. Invest a certain amount mentioned on the app/portal — INR 1000; 5000; 15,000; 30,000; 50,000; 1,00,000;
4. Recharge your account.
5. Example: Invest INR 1000, recharge INR 100 to start order grabbing; INR 500 for 5000, and so on.
Following this investment, the mobile app will allow you to grab 30 orders a day. For every order placed, you will earn a minimum of .70 % of the value.
INR 1000 = INR 72 avg/30 orders
My investment: IBR 15000 = INR 485/30 orders. Within seven days, I had placed 210 orders and earned 1470$. The earnings look great on the dashboard but unable to withdraw them into my bank account.
Continued to grab orders every day, but unable to take the money out of the portal.
What next? A friend called and said, CNC is facing some technical difficulties and the withdrawal process would take a few days.
In the meantime, I referred another friend. He invested INR 1000 — the base fee. Even he was unable to get the money back.
So, how is this not monitored by Cyber Crime and SEBI? How come there’s nothing in the news regarding this scam.
When I dug deep into this, there were hundreds who’ve been duped by CNC.
Meanwhile, reached out to an Amazon team member. Now, I’m waiting for updates.
