New Scam in town? *Jobsurance*

Anybody here checked out Jobsurance? I am seeing a lot of LinkedIn influencers promoting it.(I get skeptical if influencers promote a product). It looks good on papers. Just wanted to know if anyone bought it and what are the costs?

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 work in product for a series A funded startup that just laid off 40% folks in my team. Work environment has become tremendously stressful with top management continuously threatening about every small thing. Although getting job insurance seems like a good idea - still not completely convinced these are reliable I have been applying for a jobs since past 4 months but with no luck - tha market seems too saturated at the moment Anyone here got reviews or first hand experience of the same, please pitch in :)

Just wanted to bring it out so that every one aware. Naukari.com executive calling and saying pay amount which is to unknown person and if you are not selected then money will be refunded in 24 hours. They are also sharing JDs with QR payment I have all the screen shots.

Did Jobsurance actually provide cover for any folks that have been laid off? Or is it useless (or worse - a scam)?

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.

I'll go first: Scaler, Byju’s and MBA chaiwala

Internal source: most vps are around the table these days, and too busy to get goats to sack this week. For Byju's product team, this week is crucial, usual results are out on Friday. ( product, design and media) 45% -50% cut from each team. There won’t be any news about Byjus from now on, my wife was the source, and she got laid off today.

Its funny how some Site Relaibility Eng like aditya who has never worked in Maang is selling dreams to Tier 3/4 folks to get placed in Maang in 90 days. Coming to pratik kapasi who was an L4 with 10 years of exp in google with low SI rating. Literally everyone with 2 years of exp are doing better than him.
