[Alert] New scam via hiring

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

**News Flash:**

Hi everyone, there is a new WhatsApp stock market scam happening right now. It starts with a random person messaging you, usually with a woman's profile picture, offering free stock market tips. If you agree, they send you a link to join a group. In the group, they conduct two live broadcasts daily, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. They pay you to watch these broadcasts continuously for three days, along with some data pack recharges.

Initially, the broadcasts appear professional, discussing market indices and suggesting stocks. After about a week, they start promoting a "700% wealth surge plan" on your initial investment. They claim that the consulting services you're currently enjoying are worth Rs 50,000 for this quarter. If the 700% gain is achieved, you must pay consulting fees and revenue sharing for two quarters. The fees depend on the information service you choose for the next quarter. If the 700% profit is not achieved, no fees are charged, and future cooperation allows you to choose your desired service level freely.

The stocks they suggest also surge, and people in the group keep posting their profits and praising the "professor" named Hardik. When it comes to the 700% surge plan, they introduce a twist: they ask you to download an app or visit a website to sign up with your Aadhar number. They claim this "Preferred Asset Account" has several advantages:

1. It allows for pre-market trading.
2. It has priority trading rights when purchasing Upper Circuit stocks.
3. The success rate of subscribing to IPOs is higher compared to a regular Demat account.

Believing it to be genuine, you might add your money. Initially, you make good profits, but soon you realize you can't withdraw your money, and eventually, you are blocked by everyone.

The company behind this scam is IEF (International Equity Funds), operated by Meera Patel, Hardik Shah, and Ami Shah from the USA. If you Google them, you won't find any legitimate information. There are also multiple company names associated with this scam, according to my research. Be aware and never fall for these scams with unrealistic profits. Always use trading apps approved by the government, do your research, and be mindful.

I am seeing a lot of growthschool ads lately about two courses. Linkedin and marketing using ai, has anyone paid 299 for this and can walk us through what are the things covered exactly.

I don't mind paying the amount but is this worth it.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Is this scam?

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.?

What's happening with growth school students? I always found that org shady with their super pushy ads everywhere. Now it looks like students are revolting and asking for refunds

Vaibhav and others have disabled tagging on LinkedIn and the course also plays recorded lectures as live classes.

I came to Bangalore 2 weeks ago. this is my first time visit to Bangalore. One fine day I was casually walking to my PG after having a tea at chai house. in the middle of a road a person with his newborn baby and wife approach me with folding hands. He asked me if I speak hindi. I nodded, then he said Iam from Maharashtra and he came here for job, but his master has kicked him out and not given him salary. He has no money for food and to travel back. He asked me to give him 300. I sensed it might be scam but being an emotional guy I thought 300 is not a big deal. I said I don't have cash but I can pay via phonepe. he showed me his qr on mobile. A thought ran in my mind does he has no one who he can call and ask for online money if he has working smart phone. when I started typing the amount 300 he said sir 300 for one person, pls pay for my wife too. I said I only have this much money only. I paid and walked off quickly. I think I'm scammed but it could be a genuine case too. 

tell me guys have you faced/heard this before. this might probably aware someone in future.

Is this a new scam?

I'm tired of people calling everything in edtech a scam, of course the companies don't help themselves by their bs marketing and unattainable placement claims and other bullshit

But I'm genuinely curious as to what grapers/ grapies / viners find to be not a scam in edtech ?

If everything in edtech is a scam, what is not ?

I watched the new Rajnikant film Vettaiyan which has Amitabh, Fahad Fasil and Rana Daggubati. 

The similarities 
1. Rana Daggubati is a very ruthless and ambitious edtech founder named Natarajan and his Ed tech company is called ‘Nat academy’ 
2. He is showing doing a live class in a stadium 
3. The sales team is shown misselling and deliberately avoiding refund calls from parents 
4. Nataraj innovates business model to sell sub standard tablets with content through expensive bank loans 
5. Sales folks are shown eerily doing the same sales pitch as byju sales folks 


Ofcourse the scam is exxaegrated to fit audience sensibilities, but most scenes of Rana and his nat academy are eerily close to the stories reported about byjus!

Is the new Rajnikant film about Byju’s Scam?

I shat my pants when i was learning DSA.
I learnt it the hard way but you don't have to. Here is yet another Losscoder Academy Masterclass that will teach you how to shit that scales, and is cost efficient.

Linkedin influencers promoting losscoder academy courses be like

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.

Google Recruiter impersonation scam on Linkedin

Product Marketing Manager

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
