Akt Enterprises — company threatening me through calls, messages and emails mentioning legal action for not completing the work in time.

Address:Aurangabad, Maharashtra, Aurangabad, Maharashtra

My name is sudheer kumar. Last week i was searching for a job regarding work from home and came across an ad posted on quikr of akt enterprises. I applied for the same. Later i got a call from one of their representative and she explained that the job was of typing 7000 captchas in seven days with payment of rs.4 per captcha with 90 percent accuracy and will get salary of rs.28, 000 from which they will deduct their registration amount which was 5100. Later she asked me to sign a contract which asked for my picture, my identity proof and signature. I didn't manually sign my contract.
Later when the day my work was about to begin on 6pm i tried to login but i couldn't when i asked the lady who had explained me about the job, she asked me to talk to the helpline number but when i tried to reach the helpline number their number was off. I tried login several times finally it happened lately. The application was so slow working and slow processing that i couldn't work on it properly because the app used to get closed on it's own. Inspite of doing the work, my captcha wasn't being counted properly the numbers were less than i did and no payment amount was showing. I tried to reach the helpline number but again it was off. So i started with my work the app i received was not working and they told me that my session will start at 6 pm. But the session started after very lately thus one day wasted. And the number of captcha work showing zero and thus no payment made was showing. Then i suspected it as fraud as helpline number was also not working, i searched about this company on internet and found numerous negative feedbacks and complaints so i left their work. Now they are threatening and blackmailing me to pay penalty charges through their calls, messages and emails mentioning legal action. Please help me. I am not in a position to pay any amount. They told me about their work is very easy and will not be any fee for joining. They told me that they will provide every assistance in completing the work and when first salary will come they will deduct their joining fee amount. They did not provide any help in case of difficulty of the work carryout, helpline was not working and now they are demanding money. I am attaching some communication and other details screenshots also. Please help me out of this torture.

In the afternoon I got a call from a person naming himself deepak[protected] to withdraw the complaint and that registration fee of 5100 rupees company will pay me. Then I told him that I have not paid any registration fee and the company rule was to deduct from my first salary. And he was asking my debit card number then I told him that I don't want any money, only that harassment calls and case should not come. Then call get disconnected. I tried by my side but no reply.
Again in the evening around 4 pm, I got a call from a lady who told me that she was speaking from consumer helpline and told me to pay the company 5100×11 rupees and several other charges for settlement of the case as it was my fault. Her number was [protected].But I suspected that she was from Akt Enterprises and trying to blackmail me.
How can it happen that various people who posted their complaints faced exactly what I faced and did not pay anything later and got their case resolved and in my case I have to pay 5200 rupees and that too by today.
And I am getting regular blackmailing calls from the legal department of Akt Enterprise having phone number[protected] to pay 5200 rupees to settle the case and I do not even have 1000 rupees but I told them to give me one week time to pay that 5200 rupees but they are telling me to pay by today otherwise have to face the legal proceedings or that amount will increase.

Please tell me anybody who paid any amount of money to settle down the case of Akt Enterprise after posting the complaint on this consumer forum. This company seems to be a big fraud. Work was to complete filling of 7000 captcha in 7 days with 90 percent of accuracy. The given app did not login first day and it opened and logged in on the second day and that too at very late night. The app do not work 24 hours. Perhaps the app timing was after 6pm every day. There is given only a helpline number on the app interface in case of any work difficulties, no email was given for that. And that helpline number was not working. And when I suspected that it is a fraud company, I searched on the Internet and found various complaints of this Akt Enterprise so I left the work only informing the person who firstly contacted me for this work. And when the 7 days time lapsed various threatening calls, emails and messages are coming mentioning penalty charges and legal proceedings. And when I told them all the problems of logging in and app crashes. They are saying why I have not emailed the company. Why should I email the company whose email address was not prominently mentioned every where. The only prominently mentioned was the helpline number which was not working which made me believe that it was a fraud company. The police action should be taken against this company against whom large number of people are complaining on this forum or Internet.
