What happened

Someone had shared a link in a group, and the group name was “IIT Delhi Linked with this Company.” They claimed that this company was providing internships through IIT Delhi. As soon as I joined the group, they mentioned a stipend and asked for a registration fee of ₹1000.They were repeatedly mentioning my college name, saying that 5–6 students from my college had already joined and that many students from my college were participating, so I could join too and would receive a stipend. But it has been 3–4 days now. I paid ₹1000 four days ago, and since then I haven’t received any email or call from them. I have been trying to contact them, but they are not responding at all.

Why it seemed suspicious

They asked me to make a payment request of ₹1000 as a registration fee for the internship.
