WhatsApp scam messages have become too common and unfortunately, many fall victim to these tricks. Scammers promise work from home jobs or quick cash in exchange for simple tasks, often leading to financial losses. However, a Reddit user recently shared a hilarious chat with a fraudster when they received a suspicious money making opportunity.
The conversation began with the scammer providing a simple review task, for which the user earned Rs 1500. After completing six tasks, the scammer got too comfortable with the potential victim and started sending more tasks promising additional money. But this time, the user turned the tables by demanding payment for the upcoming tasks and even threatened the scammer to do black magic on them.
According to the post, after receiving payment, the scammer requested the user to continue and allegedly asked for Rs 3000 for further tasks. However, the individual responded, “Sorry ma’am, don’t have 3000 right now. Will receive my payment from company tomorrow will definitely participate. Till then I want to keep doing review task.” Despite this, the fraudster insisted, “Sir first you complete this task and then you continue next task.” The redditor remained firm and requested payment for upcoming tasks. In response, the scammer explained, “When you complete 12th task then you get this money. I already inform you in one day 21 tasks and 3 paid trading task.”
The Reddit user then hilariously wrote, “Doing black magic on you, ma’am. Money for task 7-12 otherwise doing black magic for you to become ganjaa taklu (Bald). Might consider black magic for you to turn into Lizard too. Black magic done. You’ll start losing your hair right now. Just check and see.”

Reacting to the post, a user wrote, “I hope you used a secondary bank account, usually any bank account that had any transactions with these scammers bank accounts get frozen.”
Another shared, “I bet he checked his hair and will be paranoid if he feels a few hair fall.”
“Please teach me some black magic thing. I got scammed and I want vengeance on the scammer,” a comment read.
Another wrote, “I earned 1100 by doing free task using the same tactic once. They got frustrated and blocked me.”
An individual jokingly asked, “How to enroll in your black magic program master?”
One more added, “I appreciate the hustle but this is stolen money circulating.”
When someone inquired if the scammer actually paid him Rs 1500 for the first task, the user clarified that he first invested Rs 1000 and received Rs 1500 in return. They further explained that the victim initially wins some money, later they encourage them to invest larger amounts later, only to block them afterward. The user also mentioned they already received Rs 300 earlier for a Google review task and his total earnings was Rs 800.
