I got an Unexpected Surprise on New Year's Eve... (INR 23,347)

I got 2 inbounds on Instagram after 1 month of putting hard effort...

I was so excited, we talked and closed the deal...

They seemed nice but who knew that they were faking around...

After completing the projects with honesty & sincerity, they said....

"We've initiated the transfer but since you live in a different country, we have to link the bank"

They were sending my payment from UK to CA, so they asked me to pay the bank linking fee of $70.

I was angry at first but paid it hoping to get my payment on time...

(And yeah I asked them in the beginning to transfer through Wise, PayPal, etc. but they rejected it)

Then they delayed it for 5 days, in between...

They asked me to pay OTP generation fee ($90) and Bank Subscription fee ($220)...

I knew that they were scamming me but in the corner of my heart, I thought let's give it a try...

I paid them again and thankfully they did not receive the payment of $220...

I ran towards my bank and asked them to cancel this transfer immediately...

And I got my $220 back (sigh)

My bank really did not let me panic and refunded the rest of my money $160...

From then on, I decided to never take any project without taking 50% in advance...

P.S : From there, Wise app started making my life terrible by making my bank acc negative :[

I used Wise for the first time, just for making those transfers to the scammers...
