Fraudulent hiring for Godrej & Boyce

Hello all, This incident happened with one of my friend. She is looking for a job change and these people contacted her saying she is selected for interview with Godrej and Boyce. His name is Aniket Archarya His linkedin profile https://www.linkedin.com/in/aniket-acharya-054647108 She passed all the rounds which were only for 15 mins( she appeared for data analyst role). He called her today stating she performed well and but her Power Bi skills are not upto the mark but still the management decided to go ahead with her. He mailed her the offer letter and but there was no joining date mentioned. When inquired he told her that she has to do one certification in order to get onboarded which costed around 17,994 INR. This is the portal of the course http://deep-learning.school Since she found this strange she investigated in linkedin contacted other HRs who have verified badge. They confirmed its a scam. To all out there beware of these frauds masking themselves as HRs

Today i got a call form an company name " Genique management services pvt lmt" , HR was asking to pay Rs. 3600 from me for technical assessment test . She also mentioned that the job location will be Canada / Australia 🤡

I am posting this information to safe gaurd others job seekers and posting after doing my level of research as one of the victim is my close friend. Person named Brahmaiah Shaik, who claimed as currently working as senior HR at Virtusa, Hyderabad has taken money from many unemployed job seekers promising them Jobs in development and testing and help them with fake experience letters and other onboarding activities. He has been promising jobs in Virtusa and Wipro like companies. Almost 38 lakhs has been collected from 21 individuals since Jan 2024 and they are still job less as he is not reachable now. People who has given money became helpless now. Please be aware of these fraudsters. Do not believe anyone who are promising jobs atleast do not pay blindly well before any progress. Build up your skills and try out for jobs or atleast approach a renowned consultants. Please if someone are there from Virtusa..let me know any internal ombuds channel to report this.

So, I am looking for senior level jobs and usually referall /direct connects have worked better. But today I had to upload my resume on shine.com 'cuz the opening on linkedin, redirected me there. Within an hour I got a call from an agency called evolution planner and what seemed like a young boy in an animated voice asking if am looking out etc. What spiked my curiosity was him asking if am looking outside India, which is not usual opening question. Now its usual for consultants to call so it was sll okay till he said there will be a small fees. Now again, I know of senior folks who deploy headhunters and I was like maybe these people have got my profile from somewhere and are looking to source business from me. I wouldn't have paid but I entertained to see where this is going. He said Microsoft, Oracle etc have shortlisted me. Funny given I have worked in startups in marketing ( and not even tech ) so don't knw whats the skillset match. Anyway he told me to create an account and my final red flag was when he said site name like www Dot..lol who says it like that. I cut the call pretending am getting another call and he can call me later. He asked me to confirm since he will have to hold the client for me. Lol It's happened with me for the 1st time and unfortunately searching this company name doesn't throw any negative reviews either. But this is a scam,right ? Also since when did google start recruiting like this. Have you heard of this company? Also have you had such experiences.?

I have tried contacting people who have listed properties on 99acres/housing/no broker and the people who recieved my call(almost 99%) told me that I need to deposit 1000 or 1500 INR(only via online payment), upon receiving which they will create a visiting card for me. Once I have the visiting card, the property manager would be meeting me on the premises. Something seems fishy and leads me to not trust them. Has anyone else encountered a similar situation? Please list your experience.

I was going to join a company in gurgaon. Had 2 rounds of interviews with them and 1 psychrometric test. Both interviews & the test happened on wednesday. On thursday i got email from HR asking details like Aadhar, PAN card and salary slips etc. At First I called the HR to share any offer letter or salary details (neither we negotiated), but she said it will all be after i share the details. Taking it as a win, i shared all of the details. Now on Friday evening i got an email from HR that they cant move further with my candidature. I called the HR to find out, she said it is because i failed the psychrometric test. WTF ? Now i am genuinely concerned if this was scam?

I got scammed by one of the leading corporate giants of Bangalore! I’m from IIM Bangalore, I cracked an offer from Agnity.. placement round me itni life changing baatein ki thi board of management ne ki mujhe laga ab toh college se nikalke seedha life set hai! Ghar gadi sabke sapne dekh liye they, it’s been three months now and idhar data entry ke alawa kuch nahi kara rahe merese.. a few of my friends who got selected for other companies are facing the same! I don’t understand jab hume as subordinates hi use karna hai toh campus placements rakhne ka point hi kya hai?

Recently saw this news: https://www.indiatoday.in/technology/news/story/pune-man-undergoes-full-medical-check-up-before-joining-date-ends-up-losing-rs-24-lakh-2461256-2023-11-10 In March 2023, a man received a call from someone claiming to be a recruitment executive for a global carmaker's India unit. They convinced him he was shortlisted for a senior position but asked for a fee of Rs 1,600 to register. The scammers kept asking for more money over five months, including Rs 28,000 for a uniform, Rs 80,000 for a check-up, and Rs 2.4 lakh as a salary advance. . However, after paying around Rs 24 lakh in around 40 transactions, the man realized that he had been cheated -- How and why people fall for these? Also how they make over 40 transactions? Also a lot more people have fallen for scams than I initially thought. It's only when you tell them a story about other scams they tell their story.
