Fraudulent hiring for Godrej and Boyce

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.

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 🤡

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.

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 am a victim of this Fraud. They called me and shared me a Data Analyst opportunity details and took my telephonic screening round. Then there was a technical test as well. Post that next day there was video interview. Everything went well then 2 days later they shared a manager feedback and call me saying that I have been selected. But my technical score is low so i have to finish a course before onboarding. They shared the offer letter as well on the same day. And asked me shared all the documents and shared the course enrolment link which was of 17k. They also mentioned that my money will be refunded with my 1st salary credit. When I investigated further and checked with other HR by messaging them on Linkedin, I got to know that it was a SCAM. As I am actively searching for a data analyst opportunity. Please help me with the referrals. And beware of such frauds. It was really heartbreaking for me.

My friend just landed a job at a well-known MNC. However, the recruiter is requesting payment for their efforts in securing the position for my friend. How can we handle this situation tactfully?

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.
