► it was a job offer. i applied as an online assistant. they told me to finish the task they assigned which required me to recharge some amount to them in order to finish the task. after finishing the task i would get some commission and after finishing all the tast then only i could withdraw the money. i finished all task and applied for withdrawal, they froze my withdrawal and stopped responding to me.
i found this scam through Instagram which directed me to a WhatsApp number and then they gave me a telegram account which acted as a guide or mentor throughout the job process.
what can i do now? i have filed a complaint in cyber crime and also my bank for unauthorized payment

Dear Sir,
Since you already filed a Cyber Crime complaint — track it
Use your complaint number to track the status.
If needed, call the cyber helpline 1930 again and request escalation.
Inform your bank in writing (if not already done fully)
Ask your bank to:
Flag the transaction as fraudulent
Try to recall/reverse the payment (possible if it’s within few days)
Block further UPI transfers to that fraudulent account
Issue you a written acknowledgment of your complaint.
