I was approached on the WhatsApp to write restaurant reviews and get paid in return through UPI or account no. It is ofcourse unethical as I am writing reviews even though I have not visited it. But is it safe or is it also some kind of fraud. Anyone has received such an offer or anyone doing it?

They might pay you 50-100rs initially and then they'll ask for some money to continue. I have worked with 3-4 such scammers, collected approx. 400rs till now

In past 2 month my friend received 500rs from reviewing 2 restaurant in his prepaid Wallet upi so what's the problem, I know that if after sometime time they will ask for money but why would he pay them so it's a profit for him

That's true but I am a bit scared of the extent these scammers can go to. Don't want to share my personal information.

On the last part of your query or the last question,
people.. or at-least one person.. right here on this forum itself has claimed to have been approached for such work (that too from someone who too was a member here).

And going by the looks of it, the thing worked out for them.

But like I said in the beginning, even arranged marriages with the best of intentions.. 'fail' at times within a short duration and even fluke pair-bonding often lasts decades and decades.

Thusly, no hard and fast rule.
No real way to know if things going to work out. But sometimes they do (as in, one does get paid for Amazon or Yelp ratings too).


about concepts like 'ethical', 'unethical'.. i feel like these are 'make believe' or at-least fluid. Fluid enough to be adjusted against the justifications one convinces themselves with.


I do not know of the merits of the stories our 👵🏻grandmothers👩🏻‍🦳told us.. but in one story.. they described this all encompassing superhero who (as per 👵🏻them👩🏻‍🦳) could do ANYthing and EVERYthing.
i think he was called Govind or Krishn or 998 other names.. as deemed fit by 👵🏻grandma👩🏻‍🦳.

Then there was this time when these other two blokes had some massive tiff or a full blown fight and each of them wanted the other one DEAD.. completely dead.

And both of them, some Arjun and some Ashwatthama, were very accomplished and at the top of their game. Ummm.. well one might have been slightly less than the other in some aspects.. i don't know🤷🏻‍♂.

But both these blokes are not able to take the other own out by conventional means.

So one if them takes out this super weapon of sorts and targets the other.
But guess what🙂.. even the other bloke too has THE EXACT same super weapon. He too targets the other one with this same super weapon.

I think it was called/is called "Brahm'astr".

So yeah.. A to A and reverse A to A.. both be furious and using this Brahmastra thingy on each other.

But the crazy bit about it was.. that at full potential.. even one (single) Brahmastra was (allegedly) eblnough to reduce the whole planet to mush, pulp.

And here they had TWO of them fired!
Word got out, sh¡t just hit the ceiling and everywhere there was panic.

Somehow word reached him and this superhero (the dude with a thousand names) approaches the two warring parties and gives a mix of surprised Pikachu face and highly irritated parent face (both emotions mixed).

So this Govind person tell both these blokes (Arjun and Ashwatthama) to respectively recall the Brahmastra they fired.. to not put rhe whole planet at risk of annihilation.

One of them (i think Arjun) gets convinced and recalls the Brahmastra fired by him.

The other person though, Ashwatthama.. is like.. sorry mate but that day i bunked classed or am unable to recall the lecture on the process to recall the Brahmastra i fired.

Everyone is like okay.. can you deactivate it then.. like neutralise it.
Ashwatthama is like.. i think even that too was in the same lecture. No can deactivate either.

👵🏻Grandma👩🏻‍🦳 told us that everyone panicked, but then someone said that the guidance system could at-least be fed new coordinates and at-least our bruh/ Arjun could be spared.

So Ashwatthama is like.. yeah can do that.. but now this super weapon be directed at ALL of the future generations of Arjun and directed the Brahmastra to the unborn grandchild of Arjun.. along with the epilogue that none would be born thereafter.

i jumped IN .. and interrupted.. 👵🏻grandma 👩🏻‍🦳 so did Ashwatthama succeed?

👵🏻Grandma👩🏻‍🦳 fondly looked at me and gestured me to wait.
She then went on to say as to how partly yes and partly no .. Ashwatthama was semi successful.

Then i was like, oh but isn't it unfair 👵🏻grandma🙇🏻? And if this Govind/Krishn indeed was so powerful as yo yo hold all the strings of EVERYthing.. then was it not unethical for him not to stop everything from 'get go'.
👵🏻Grandma🙇🏻 couldn't 🦚HE🛐 have reconciled them ALL without all the bloodshed, trauma.
All that 👩🏻‍🦳grandma🙇🏻 said is that the larger picture needs to be looked at.
Sometimes some things need to be done.
And it is not for everyone to get the larger picture.
I do not know if 👩🏻‍🦳she🙇🏻 was 'defending' 🦚Govind🛐.. but generally it is clear that whatever 🦚Govind🛐 does or lets happen.. is for a purpose. Also (as per 👵🏻Grandma🙇🏻) this 🦚Govind🛐 is ALWAYS around (by our side, in us, watching over us).. thus one should NEVER propagate falsehoods like 'अब गोविंद ना आएंगे' (that too.. merely to weaponise oneself).
Even I feel like.. it is disrespectful (even insulting) to allege something like that towards (🦚Govind🛐) someone who never left, never leaves us. Govind never leaves us, we desert Govind
