[India] Telegram scam alert- fake google review earning

I recently came across a Telegram-based work-from-home scam and wanted to share it here to warn others.

How It Starts:

• You’re randomly added to a Telegram group called “lunoreview group’’with thousand of members.

• A person claiming to be “HR” offers “easy part-time work” posting fake 5-star Google reviews for hotels/restaurants.

• They promise a ₹200 welcome bonus for completing your first review to build trust.

The Setup:

•After the first task, they send a small ₹200 payment to make it feel real.

• Then you’re added to a larger group with a task-based earning chart, like:

Tasks 01-04 → ₹100
Tasks 05-08 → ₹1480
Tasks 09-12 → ₹3880 + ₹5000 bonus
Tasks 13-16 → ₹9900
Tasks 17-20 → ₹800
Tasks 21-24 → ₹600 + ₹10,000 bonus

Even The chat is filled with fake take complete screenshots and messages from “members” claiming they got paid with fake payment screenshots

How they Trap?

• After several tasks, they introduce “bonus tasks” requiring advance deposits. • Example: “Deposit ₹1000 to unlock ₹1,480 payout.” • They share QR codes for personal accounts and flood the chat with more fake proof to pressure you.

Key Red Flags:

*Random Telegram group invite. *Unrealistic pay (₹9,000+ per day). * Fake social proof from supposed “members.” *Requests for advance payments to personal QR codes.

Takeaway:

This is a typical advance-payment scam disguised as online “review work.” 🚫 Never trust unsolicited Telegram job offers or send deposits upfront.
