[Resolved]  State Bank of India — To freeze cheater's account

Address:

Ahmedabad, Gujarat

I am a retired personnel looking for a job. I posted my CV to Monster.Com. Within a day I received a post from Suzuki Maruti, Delhi, signed by one Mr. Nakanishi, informing me that my resume has been sort-listed and that for appearing in an interview I am required to deposit Rs.15200/- in SBI A/c No.[protected] in the name of Sitol Das. After getting confirmation on a given Tel No.[protected], I was given authenticity of the mail by a person who was speaking in english with japanese accent. This was also given to understand that they are asking for security deposit of Rs.15200/- which will be refunded at the time of interview and that the remittance will facilitate them in sending air ticket to genuinely interested candidates.

Based on the telephonic conversation, I deposited the amount to the given a/c no. in local SBI. However, after making deposit of Rs.15200/- in Bank I got suspicious as why the amount is collected in a personal account? I immediately visited web site of Suzuki Maruti HR department and to my pain, I found caution message from the HR department depicting the contents of the advertisement posted through Monster.Com. I also found representations from several victims posted on the site.

As per Govt.'s guidelines, every Bank account is bound to be KYC complied. My suggestion is that the State Bank of India must scrutinise the KYC of the account, freeze the account and help the administration to arrest the swindler in public interest.
