Chemdiqas R&d — Fake job offer

Address: Banglore, Electronic City, IT Park - 560 001

Website: www.chemdiqas.com

Got a call and e-mail from a company called chemdiqas r&d for the position of data analyst/scientist with job description attached, saying that the company was merged with a japan based pharma company called daiichii sankyo. Two rounds of interview happened. First round with ankur reddy, introduced as hr (Truecaller suggested a different name jasleen sidhu - [protected], e-mail id - [protected]@chemdiqas.com) round 2 was conducted by prateek anand (Email id: [protected]@chemdiqas.com). After round 2 i was told they were willing to take me in but since i had no exposure to spss, i had to take a certified course from the suggested ibm platform. The course costed around rs.17, 000 (Including gst). The ibm spss course program manager gave me a call introducing himself as vikas kumar singh (Mob no. : [protected]) i felt suspicious and searched all over the internet but could find no valid information. The website had no proper information. Daiichi sankyo had nowhere mentioned chemdiqas as their partners, no job platform could recognize chemdiqas as a company, linkedin couldn't provide any information. I was able to find only three websites that had the same info as daiichii sankyo. I got the confirmation mail and both ankur as well as vikas was pushing me to pay. Vikas gave me his account number and gpay number and asked me to make the payment. Account number given: [protected] ifsc code: sbi0031860. Gpay no. : [protected]. When asked if the company could make the payment, ankur said he would forward me the reimbursement form. As far as i know, it is a team of three people named ankur reddy aka jasleen sidhu as hr, prateek anand as manager and vikas kumar singh as ibm spss program councellor from "initial studies learning institute". I request people to not blindly trust anybody and to do a proper information check.
