At the outset, let me state that Aspire Placement Services operating out of Somajiguda, Hyderabad is a Fraud Enterprise and has been extremely effective in defrauding prospective employees of their hard earned moneys. The company operates through their website http://www.aspireplacement.com/
I am a Chartered Accountant from India and also hold a CPA Degree from Australia. I was approached by a representative of the company by name Kiran during the month of February 2016. Below is the summarised version of the promises made:
a. Aspire Placement is a reputed Placement Services Company and operates only on very senior portfolios.
b. Aspire Placement works only on those job profiles which have been exclusively handed over directly from the company for hiring the right people.
c. Aspire does not approach the candidates for jobs already available in the public domain.
d. The company already has several jobs available that exactly match my profile and I will be provided with these profiles for acceptance once I sign up with Aspire and pay an amount o[censored]SD 500. The balance US Dollars 500 will be paid upon getting a placement.
e. If in case the company is not successful in providing me with relevant profiles or in getting a suitable position, the company will immediately refund the amount o[censored]SD 500 with no pre-conditions attached.
Upon persistent phone calls from Kiran stating that the positions were urgently required for hiring and requires my sign-up, I paid an amount o[censored]SD 500 through online transaction.
Once the payment was made, it became extremely difficult to reach Kiran and my phone calls to him was going unanswered. Finally, after two weeks, I got one very basic job description for a role that did not contain any relevant information. After two months of persistant follow ups with Kiran, I was introduced to a person called Madan who was apparently his manager. He gave me some false promises that the matters will be set right in the next 2 days. The next thing I know is that Madan had already left the company. I was then redirected to a Customer Relationship Manager Daisy who again took all the history from me and nothing was done from her end.
It has been over 8 months since I have paid the money o[censored]SD 500 and I have neither been provided any references for a job nor my money has been refunded. My calls to the company are not being answered either. I have not been provided with the email or phone numbers of any members of the management of the company to escalate my problem. Even the list of companies they have provided as their clients are false and not credible.
I warn all job seekers to be wary of any calls received from Aspire Placement in Hyderabad. The company’s motives seem to be fraudulent. If you need any further information, please call me on my number [protected].
