[Resolved]  Indigo Airlines — Recruitment scam

2 days ago I was contacted by Pooja Sharma. She told me she was the hr of Indigo Kolkata. And there was a opening for Kolkata airport. Asked for 2000 rs for interview and document verification. I already told her the way I have been scammed before in the name of the same company.. but regardless I paid as she told she wouldnt do anything like that being a girl.. few minutes later varsha called as said from the headoffice of Indigo.. then I was sent a mail Regarding job confirmation from FRANCIS XAVIER DEFTON claiming to be assisstant manager of Airport Authority of India. In the the mail attached was an Id card and training form. And mail written by the manager saying to pay ₹ 5830 for airport security fees.. since I saw the sign of airport authority of India written I thought it was genuine so I paid it.. Next morning, which is yesterday I was sent a mail with a 1yer bond soft copy from IndiGo airlines along with Hdfc bank account opening form. First in the bond soft copy, it is a one year bond which says I start with Indigo from 6/12/2021. And I need to pay rs8900 for tool kits+ 2gb server data+ bond security. By this time I was a little skeptical.. but I still had faith in them and I did not do my research till then.. so I paid them yesterday.. now today morning I receive a mail with a picture of a hand written letter in my name which states my time of training @ Kolkata airport. And documents which I needed to carry.. also stating I needed to pay another 13900 and this for the final time.. this was alarming for me.. I denied paying to my mom.. but since my mom was hopeful.. she thought I was screwing mysel[censored]p.. so she told me to pay up.. but there was something telling me there was something wrong.. but still I paid.. then I researched everything about Pooja Sharma and varsha and the online scam they run.. now I am writting this in the hope of getting my money back.. I have all quite a lot a call recordings.. their account number to which I have paid.. It was in the name of indigo as I was told but the name show was susmita barman... I really need the money back.. the written letter which came in today has 2 different stamps of Indigo airlines.. signed by FRANCIS XAVIER DEFTON. PLEASE HELP. IT IS A BIG SCAM. I BELIEVE SHE GOT ARRESTED EARLIER IN THE THE YEAR 2017... She has done the same thing earlier.. Indigo airlines this is the second time.. do something.. enhance your brand security a little more.. and help me get my money please..
