I got scammed

I work as a promotional content creator. A few days ago, someone called me claiming to be from Protouch. They offered me a collaboration for a hair dryer. They told me that I had to place the order by paying for the product first, and that the amount would be refunded within 15 minutes. They also promised me a commission of ₹4,600. Since I had done similar collaborations before, I agreed without thinking much. However, when it was time to make the payment, they sent me a normal message containing a payment link. I used that link to pay for the product. As soon as I shared the payment screenshot with them, they immediately blocked me. Now, whenever I try calling that number, it says the phone is switched off.

    This is a common 'collaboration scam' doing the rounds these days. Never make a payment after clicking an unknown link, especially when they promise an immediate refund or a huge commission.
