Lost Over ₺20,000 in Shein Dropshipping Scam on Telegram

Hello, my name is Aynur, and I have been scammed online. A company claiming to represent Shein approached me, saying they worked with shopping platforms and allowed users to earn commissions through buying and reselling. Believing it to be like dropshipping, I decided to give it a try since everything seemed legitimate and handled online, including bank transactions.

Initially, I deposited ₺50 and withdrew ₺100 with a commission. Encouraged by this, I proceeded with a second task, depositing ₺700 and withdrawing ₺1,000. On the third task, there were 24 steps. I deposited ₺1,000, and various shopping platforms like Trendyol, Akakçe, and Morhipo appeared on the screen. I was then asked to enter into a contract with one of them.

However, they soon started requesting multiple unexpected payments, labeling them as "prepayments." I felt forced to continue paying to retrieve my initial deposits and commissions. In total, I deposited over ₺20,000. Now, they are demanding an additional ₺30,000, which I refuse to pay. They also have my IBAN and transaction receipts, which I mistakenly shared.

I feel utterly scammed and helpless. I am warning others not to fall into this trap. Shein and Telegram must take responsibility for these fraudulent activities. If anyone else has faced similar issues, please share your story.
