Scam Alert for Amex Referral ⚠️

[Shash]

Hello fellow technofino community members,
Be cautious of DMs promising Amazon Gift Vouchers for Amex approval via referral. I fell victim to a scam like this by @Martius (Sahil). I have screenshots for the whole conversation.

One should always be cautious with such deals. There are always chances of people taking back their commitment.

One is lucky if they are dealing with genuine person.

Whole Story is this guy @Martius posted in a thread that he is giving amazon pay voucher if we apply amex card from his referal link and card gets approved too. I expressed my interest in the thread. (These posts are deleted by moderators as this was not allowed so I dont have proof for this but have all chats screenshots in dm one). Then this guy dmed me asking if I am interested and he'll provide 4k voucher for 1 card approval , 8k for 2 cards and 10k for trifecta.
I asked him is he seriously giving this much amount to which he said yes. I confimed twice and he said he'll give 4k voucher of any brand for amex card approval using his referral link after I send the approval screenshot. Reason he gave for high amount - "Only thing is I am only looking for 48000 MR points since i am planning to use it for Taj hotel booking in the near future so I already have got 2 people who’ve applied so i will only be taking in 4 more applications where i can provide the Gift cards so whenever you decide to apply just ping me!!". I got convinced and I said yes to this and applied through his referral link on 10th. My application got approved on 12th afternoon and I pinged him screenshot in the evening but he has ghosted me .
There is a similar case with @the_dark_knight where he has encountered the same chats and same scam by @Martius .

just think why will someone give 3k voucher when they only get 8k points which are worth max 2k in vouchers....

8k mr points are 3.5k amazon vouchers i guess. But for taj voucher it is quite more
