FMCG folks at IIMs/ISB are the worst scum on this planet. Literally spend so much money and use their intellect selling sugar water

True... I have the least respect for people working in FMCG . I value HR more.

FMCG is the proof that people will stoop to any lows for money. Survival is one thing, but these fuckers are greedy.

Scam is because western funded institutions didn't care to follow rules. What happens if another Indian dies, we so many. They just bribed their way. I have seen finance people at hiring agency who get rules changed to get shit done. And the org is Sp500 company doing great. They clearly says we are law abiding companies

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Okay I know the headlines sounds very gimmicky like a fresh out the boat 18 year old who’s just finished watching Wolf of Wall Street and is trying to sell you his “crappy” pen. 

However I’m only posting this cause I had seen people debating and wondering if they should do an online MBA / global MBA or which uni to do it from? 

I tried helping a few people and I know there’s still a lot of people who are confused so I just wanted to help them out like a guardian angel. 😌😂

Also if there are any other genuine counsellors here who can help people by all means go ahead and let’s just bring back some value to the title “Academic Counsellors” as it’s been really turned into a joke by some.

Looking for a Global online MBA?

Assistant Manager

He scammed 1000s of people and suddenly finding himself in critical situation. Looks like PR teams are running out of Ideas! 

P.S. - Despite all regulators raising flags about 10-day MBA as fraud, the team is still using “the critical illness” opportunity to plug that in. 

No mercy, no sympathies for such fraudsters!!

Okay, so this happened to me last year. I was approached by a college alumni (got my number from college alumni group) who told me he had a side business going on which was leading him to earn more money than his corporate job and that he was going to leave the corporate for his “business”.

I was initially not interested but he was insistent and also I was looking to explore some options (may be my naïveté) that I asked him more and so he setup a call with his senior to explain more about this “business”.

Now this senior gave all sorts of gyaan regarding how to reach financial independence and picking up on the general mindset of how to make more money. They asked to create a list of 10 things that I desired the most at the point of time which could be solved with more money. I complied thinking it was a good exercise (again, I was a big fool). Now I was connected with another senior who gave all sorts of gyaan regarding how I could make more money and lead to financial independence.

Please note, during all this time I was constantly asking what the business idea was and how it would be achieved but got no response on the details and only white washing regarding how I should be prepared to do anything to achieve my dreams.

Now, it was revealed that I would need to put in 5L as investment to get bigger returns. Since I did not have that money in handy, I was suggested to get a personal loan through their agents. Also not to inform this to parents because they won’t understand this stuff and get “worried”. Luckily I did went with their suggestion and informed my parent about it. Thinking it was a startup idea, I got the investment from my father through an OD in my name.

Now we get onto a call two days later, where they reveal the company QNet and makes me purchase 5L of stuff from their website and explained the business model which was to get other people from your knowing to buy products from this company and get commissions on the sale.

Pyramid scheme scam

Does this mean that Stoa MBA is a scam too and should be reported to AICTE?

10 Day MBA

Engagement profiteering and sympathy farming off someone's passing away is just pathetic and shameful.

They will stoop to any level if it gets them a few hundred likes and increases conversion to their actual business.

Stop gathering sympathy using the poor fellow please!

WTF is wrong with these LinkedIn influencers

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

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.

Job Scam - how educated people fall for them?

Founder

Classplus is falling apart. The CTO, CBO and VP-Business have resigned from the company amidst rumours around financial irregularities. Classplus now joins a long list of Indian startups caught amidst fraud/financial irregularities allegations. Classplus was last valued $600Mn in their last funding round and counts Tiger Global, Falcon Edge, Peak XV (formerly Sequoia India) as their investors.

Classplus is going belly up. Big news to come out soon.

Project manager

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

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.

My Experience: Beware of PM scams

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

I have failed my statistics exam in the first trimester.

The reason I failed is because I took the subject very lightly and didn't focus much, also the Placecomm used to trouble us a lot and kept the CV verification around this time itself.

Now I am determined to pass and restart again.

I am guilty and I own it.

MBA Fail

So finally, someone spoke about this fraudulent startup AstroTalk. How they operate and how they take advantage of gullible people, is completely explained in the video. These kinds of startups need to be busted on LinkedIn and other social media platforms so that no one calls prey for such cheap tactics. This is just another BYJUs in the making. The cofounder is an IIT IIM grad. Shows how greed can even pollute the minds of even highly educated people. Really don't understand how the VCs can be so fucking dumb, funding them with 165 Crores!! Shocking but it isn't surprising since the Indian Startup ecosystem is filled with such scam artists.

You can mention current/ex company. Or don't mention. Just say the scam. Let the common things be known.

What's a scam that your company does?

I don’t think they add any value but just keep seeking credit for others work.

How many of you hate MBAs and why?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

The current scenario of MBA grads from non IIM colleges is literally so bad. 

They have to agree on working free of cost for SIPs just to get an experience on their resume. 

Unlike IT engineers they have to go to office 5/6 days a week, in cities like Mumbai. Honestly this is the most jarring part of the life. 


I really hope that you consider this while pursuing for MBA , going abroad is not a bad option in my opinion.

Master’s Union’s false claims of being accredited

Investor

Do you feel companies are using contact information of candidates (from job portals) to spam the hell of out of them, thereby bloating their own lead CRMs with the same?
In my case, recently I've received calls from Pristyn Care, Unacademy, Vodafone, upGrad, other BFSI majors, etc. 
Having said that, I don't discount banks and fintechs as well.
