Digital one India review

Is Digital One India a scam? I have heard about it a lot. I wanted to try it, but I am very sceptical about getting scammed. Has anyone tried it and made money for real? Please share your experience and digital one India review here.

Recruitment scam and spam

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.?

My Experience: Beware of PM scams

Hi community, Recently I have been mugged by the hero vired of my hard earned INR 12k. I enrolled in one of their courses some time back paying a registration fee of 12k. As I was not super interested at the beginning, sales guys started pursuing me very hard by giving discounts/scholarships (for already overpriced courses). When I was still not getting convinced, they offered the program director and alumni connect to help me make the decision but only if I pay the registration fee which they made refundable (which was on paper non-refundable) This is an INSEAD course and the conversation was done on a recorded line so I didn't take it as a red flag, only to find out later that they have blatantly refused to refund the money. They even refused that the fee was refundable and said that there was no phone call even after I showed the proofs of the call. I had a month long discussion with them where they conducted a completely bullshit audit and their senior management (including CEO) also didn't respond on escalation. Recently, I was informed by the INSEAD panel that they have changed the management in Hero Vired and asked me to join now as I won't get a bad experience again. While I refused to join them, I thought I'll let the community know of the deep rooted culture of disservice at Hero Vired and warn you against joining their cohorts. Don't get into their FOMO sales pitches and sweet promises, they won't comply with you as soon as you pay them. I am not the first one with such experience. Check their google reviews.
