I also encountered similar case. I got registered myself to shine.com for getting job notifications. I got text message from shine.com about AirTicketing/Ground staff and contact number of HR Khushi [protected] was given. She told me to mail her my resume, adhaar card, academic certificates. She gave a bank account number to transfer 2500 for processing interview. The email id was hr.[protected]@outlook.com which doesn't seems like any professional email address, any body could make that email address. I spoke about this to my friend and she found out fraud cases like already been occurred before. After getting hint these people are fake, I decided not to give money. When that HR called me if I had deposited money, I made excuse that I went to bank to deposit money but the bank was closed, then her tone became a little dominating. I immediately drafted a mail and sent it to the Indigo's official complaint email address. I don't know what that fraudster will do with my documents.
I got a Interview proposal from the Indigo Airlines. There was a total information about job profiles and payment offered by the company. They said that your Resume has been shortlisted and the company will book your Air tickets for interview at Banglore. For a security deposit, they asked me to pay 9600 Rs in an account of Punjab National Bank.
Account No. - [protected]
IFSC code - PUNB0027200
Account holder name - Indigo Corporation.
I talked to HR Mr. Sumit Rana (Phone - [protected]), he said you have to pay the amount before 3pm. I paid the same, and then their mail came saying you have paid the money without GST. I again called HR and talked to him about the problem. He said he has told the account team for the reversal of my 9600 Rs. I also got a mail of the same. Then HR asked me to pay the amount again including GST within time and he told me that the money will get into your account in 4-5 hrs. I again paid the amount 11328 Rs. Then they maild me an application form and asked me to fill that up and mail scanned copies of the same. I did the same thing and then I called him for confirmation. On saturday, he didnt receive my call. On sunday, I didnt call him because I thought Sunday will be off. I called him again on Monday and found his phone switched off. Its still switched off.

So total I paid 21000Rs to him.

I request to you all to help me to get my money back.
