Credila Financial Services — extortion of money worth rs 2,000+ rs 5,900 by a fake company by the name of service recruitment on shine.com

Address:

Not mentioned, Mumbai City, Maharashtra, Not sure

On March 14, 2020 I received a call from a person named 'Anshika Roy' who claimed to be working for a company named Delta Global Services and the mail I received was from the ID, in.[protected]@yahoo.com. Since I had uploaded my resume and contact details on the Shine job portal while applying for a position on LinkedIn, which guided me through Shine, I was forced to share my personal details. The concerned, 'Anshika Roy, ' told me that my resume has been selected for the position in the Accounts Department at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Mumbai and that the mail referred to the initial salary package from Rs 32, 000 to Rs 35, 000 during the 'training period.' The woman further added on call that there would be 3 subsequent rounds, The Written Test, Interview and Document Verification Round to be conducted upon final selection. She forced me to pay an initial sum of Rs 2, 000 as 'Registration.' She told that the deposit has to be made within 30 minutes and a screenshot of the transaction sent to the ID: in.[protected]@yahoo.com. Only upon the payment would I be allowed to give a test. After I fulfilled the first step, I was given an online Math Aptitude questions to which I qualified. The woman by the name Anshika Roy told that now there would be an interview with the HR of 'Indigo Airlines' at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Mumbai, however, she did not inform of any payment while she assured of a direct interview with the HR. She repeatedly insisted that her company, Services Recruitment takes care of contacts with HRs of Airlines and that the candidates are allowed to get in touch via 'their company.' Further on 16 March, 2020 (Monday), the same woman called to ask for a further sum of Rs 5, 900 as security deposit. When I asked her the reason for this, she told that "we take security money which is 'refundable' so that if a candidate nullifies a job offer, a security payment is already made." She told that the money is REFUNDABLE AND THAT IT WOULD BE RETURNED AT THE TIME OF DOCUMENTATION AT THE AIRPORT AFTER I SHOW THE INVOICE COPY. THE FAKE INVOICE PDF DISPLAYED THE LOGO OF 'AIRPORTS AUTHORITY OF INDIA AND DELTA GLOBAL SERVICES. The woman told that this deposit has to be made to Services Recruitment as soon as possible, otherwise, the slot would get over and I would not be able to join the interview process. The payment was made and the sreenshot again sent to '[protected]@gmail.com.' Anshika Roy further connected the call to a person named 'Kartik Roy, ' who claims to be an HR at Indigo Airlines based in Mumbai. The claimed HR asked a couple of questions and later gave a positive reply. After an hour, I received a call from the same woman who told me that I have qualified the interview round and that the company's HR would be calling the next day to discuss the pay package, joining date, etc. The next day, I was connected to a person by the name of Neha who called herself HR and she asked for another payment, this time of Rs 13, 900 for medical examination, resume modification and document clearance. The woman told that security amount of Rs 13, 900 would have to be deposited again if I have to go for medical examination and document verification at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. They kept on claiming that upon reaching the Airport next week, I would get in touch with the HR of Indigo Airlines whose name and contact number would be mentioned in the offer letter which I would get only after payment of Rs 13, 900. It was then that I found the company suspicious and fake and so, I dialed up Indigo Corporate Office's number at Bangalore. They said that they as such, never charge any recruitment fee from the candidate who applies directly. When I further asked Anshika Roy to stall the process then and there and refund the amount, she told that the process would take time and I will have to drop an email stating why am I not able to pay Rs 13, 900 and the reasons for withdrawal. I dropped an email immediately to the same ID, stating that I do not wish to continue the process and requested them to refund the amount. (Rs 2, 000+Rs 5, 900). The email clearly mentions the Account Details and the reason for refunding, which I dropped on 17 March, 2020, but as yet, I have not got any response, neither my money has been refunded.
I called on the same number the woman dialed from before, which she did not pick. Upon calling around 2-3 times, they did not pick up the call.
THIS IS A CLEAR CASE OF CHEATING AND FORGERY.
