[Resolved]  Career Hammer — duped of rs. 54000

I got a call from a representative of career hammer on 29th december 2017 regarding great job opportunities available. I was told that my resume has been shared with certain companies and they have shown interest. The names of companies like jaguar, flip kart and others alongwith designations and salary packages were shared with me. I was asked to pay 3000 as registration post which my interviews would be lined up. I was assured that the interviews will be fixed within 3 days and that i'll definitely secure a job within a month.

I paid rs. 3000. After that i was told a senior representation will call me. The said representative said that i need to be online for the completion of my registration. He directed me to a link where i filled in the details mentioned then it led me to pay an additional 7500. I told him that i was not told about any additional money to paid. He told me, please ma'am, you need to do this to take this forward. I was assured multiple times, that all the money will be refunded once i secure the job or in a month in case i don't secure a job. He told me this is just security till you get the job.

I was told also told multiple times that they would fix all interviews starting 3 days from now. And that the money would be refunded on the day of job placement or in a month in case i don't secure a job.

After i paid that sum, i was taken further and asked to pay more money. At this point i got very irritated as these steps and payments were not mentioned at the start and money was being taken again and again. I couldn't even stop at this stage because over rs. 11000 had already been paid to them and i didn't know what would happen to that sum in case i stopped.

In total, i ended up paying over rs. 53000 during that one phone call. Though i was extremely miffed, i controlled myself and waited for the interviews to be lined up.

Despite paying a huge sun and the fact that it has been over a month and a half, now, there has been no interview lined up or communication from their end. Except for one call asking me to pay more money.

When i told the representative that what they are doing is wrong and i want a refund, i was told "you will not get a refund. You can do whatever you want." he was extremely rude and said "you can file a police complain also if you want."

I have written to them also on their 'support' email address today.

I need a complete refund of the money i have paid as i haven't had any interviews fixed, as promised, and because it has been over a month and a half and i was told that the money will be refunded if i don't secure a job in over a month.
