I applied for a job at this company on seeing an add on Naukri.com. Within a day, I received a call asking if I would be interested in working. This was on 30 Aug 2020. On asking to show proof if the company is legit, I was sent certain registration documents from the company. I was given the most minimal details and told that if I were to deposit an amount of Rupees 1000, I can enroll and begin working. The telephone service person kept calling me multiple times and convinced me to work with them and assured me that the company would keep up to their promises. I then deposited the amount 1000 through Gpay to a number provided by the person. She told me that this was the HR's number and the money would go to the company. On asking when it would be refunded, she did not give me clear information and told that after I finish submitting my demo piece of work. I would get it along with the payment for the project. After payment, I was told I would receive the work via mail the next day which again I did not. On calling the person, she told me was on leave and would send it by next morning. I was given two days of time to complete alomst 20 pages of work. If I failed to submit the same, I would lose my money. However, I managed to submit the project way before the stipulated time. I submitted the project on 3 Sep. Even after a week of submitting, I never got a single response from the company's team. I wrote multiple mails to the company asking them to kindly respond. However, they showed no compliance. On asking the one person who contacted me on day 1 multiple times, I got a response saying they'll get back to me. However, she avoided picking my calls and didn't respond to my mails or texts. Yesterday, I received a mail saying my project was rejected as it was only 82% accurate (85% is their criteria apparently). I was not told on what basis my project was rejected. I was asked to read the terms and conditions document. I mailed them back instantly asking them to show the grading criteria and "mistakes" in the document as I have complied with whatever instructions was given. They failed to respond to any of mails. The person did not pick my calls when I called from my number. However, she picked instantly when I dialled from another number and on asking her why they are rejecting my project. She said she's only part of the telephonic service and I'll have to get in touch with someone from the core team. On asking for her number multiple times, the call was cut. I was told they would get in touch with me which they haven't which they did not. On trying to reach the person with the number provided on the website, it says switched off.

I have asked the team to refund my money and pay for my project to which they still haven't given me a response. Kindly, help me get my money back. The company owes me Rupees 5000. 1000 being my own money which was given to them in the beginning and 4000 being the money they owe me for the project. I have tried contacting the person but she has blocked my number and doesn't respond to any of my texts. KINDLY, HELP ME GET MY MONEY BACK.

This is the number of the person.
