Answer #5

You seem to be a victim of misrepresentation and were induced to invest in a likely illegal MLM scheme. If the true nature of the business was hidden and you were later forced to sign an unfair agreement, it may amount to cheating under Section 420 IPC. Clauses penalizing you for complaining are likely void under the Indian Contract Act. Gather all proof like payment receipts, chats, and agreements, and file a police complaint or FIR. You may also approach the Cyber Crime Cell or Consumer Forum. Legal action is possible even after the refund period if fraud is proven.
