This is cybercriminal.in. I'm 19. No hoodie, no dark room. A phone, a Telegram account and your DMs. Here are four messages I send, and how it ends for people like me.
Four messages. The blue line is what stops each one.

Hi! Part-time work from home. Rate 3 hotels, earn ₹150. Paid in 5 minutes.
Paid 🎉 Next level: deposit ₹1,000 and get ₹1,300 back.
I really do pay the first ₹150. That's what makes you trust me. After that, the deposits only go one way.
# stops me: a real job never asks you to pay to get paid.

Bro, need a bank account for 2 days. ₹5,000 for you, zero work.
Stolen money runs through your name. When the police trace it, they knock on your door, not mine.
# stops me: never lend your account, SIM or UPI ID to anyone, for any amount.
Instagram DM
Bro urgent, I'm stuck. Send 2k on this UPI? Will return tonight.
I took over your friend's account an hour ago. I'm sending this to everyone they know.
# stops me: call your friend before you pay. A real friend picks up.
Instagram DM, then a video call
Hey 😊 you seem fun. Video call?
I recorded everything. ₹20,000 or your followers see it.
If you pay, I ask again. It never stops at one payment.
# stops me: don't pay. Block, keep screenshots, call 1930, and tell someone you trust.
