In this connection, I request the Videocon Industries to take suitable steps against these type of offers, which are found misleading and not genuine, because so many unemployed or employed persons loose their money as above.

I received exactly the same email with the company name changed to Maruti Suzuki. my friends who have invested like this or are thinking of investing, please understand that this is entirely your individual responsibility that you lost the money. the company cannot do anything because they would not even know these scammers. But why throw around money like this? please respect the value of money and do not waste them, after all you are seeking a job and not trying to invest capital for business. I have deleted the email the moment I saw they required payment in advance. anyone can open an account and close in later. please be more careful in handling these emails in future. without any well documented papers you should never advance any money to anyone in exchange of any promise whatsoever.

thanks
