[Resolved]  Indigo Airlines — regarding money fraud and fake interview letter

On[protected] at 10:54 am i received a message for an interview. He has sent me the link, i opened it & a pdf file starts to download. I have read it & thought that i must apply for it. On that day it was last day to apply but on
That day[protected] i sent an email regarding request to give a chance to me to deposit refundable security amount on next day. Immediately he responded to my email sent mentioning "we have considered your profle &you are in the 6th batch. Please call our recruiting manager to complete the registration formalities between 9:30 am to 4:00 pm" (I have atteched the screenshots of it for proof purpose). On next day morning that is on[protected] i called him through my mobile to him on the mobile number he has mentioned in the interview letter (Mr. Alok saxena contact:+91-[protected]). I trusted the interview letter by looking at its "authorized" logo at right side bottom of the page. Later on the same day i forwarded the interview pdf to my father asking for his opinion on it, the time by which i forwarded to him was 11:56 am. He said to go ahead for it thinking that it is a good company. I called him (Alok saxena) again & asked him that how to make the payment first before when i called him, he said that you can make the payment by any mode (Paytm, googlepay etc) & i also asked him whether this security amount of rs.9800 will me returned on interview date[protected] or it will take time. He said that it will be returned surely. Later i asked by what mode u will refund me then he said that you can take through any mode of money that is by cash, paytm, googlepay etc. I aked him (Alok saxena) that how to pay, the time was around 1pm & 2 pm. He (Alok saxena) said me to go near s. B. I (State bank of india) &deposit the security amount of rs.9800. I went to s. B. I bank, mancherial branch & called him (Alok saxena) for account details, he gave me the accont number [protected], account name he said correctly as mr. Jeetu thakur & it was correct as it displayed on the swiping machine. Later he asked me to take the photo of the slip & whatsapp to him. I did fund transfer by my mother's s. B. I debit card as there was not enough in my account. My mother name is usha kiran & her s. B. I account number is [protected]. After again i called him & i asked for the further procedure he said me to send mine scanned documents to him to his email ([protected]@hrgoindigo.in), the mentioned documents were 1. Bank payment screenshot or slip 2. One passport size photo 3. Updated resume 4. Id proof. I have sent him my aadhaar card (Front and back), pan card (Front & back), passport size photo of mine & bank payment slip (All the documents were sent after scanning by camscanner). Later on[protected] he calls me & asks me to send back the application form that he has sent me on my email (Shubham. [protected]@gmail.com) afer filling it. I opened my email & checked for it & i found it.in that email it was mentioned that "your security amount & application form has submitted successfully" & some other things were mentioned (I have attached the screenshots of it below). I sent him the application back to him by filling my all the details along with my resume on[protected]. Later i got a doubt that the procedure is strange & i called to indigo (+91 (0) [protected]) which was an official website of indigo airlines. They said that they don't have any name of that person (Alok saxena) & they said that the person who is calling you is a fraud person, don't trust him & immediately complaint to police. Then i realised the the person is fraud & he will not refund my money back. On the next day i was feeling very nervous & i was in very much tensed. I went to police station on[protected], evening to file a complaint, i said the whole story to the policeman briefly. He said that they were very busy as they have election duty on[protected] & asked me to come on monday between 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. I have attached all the proofs in the form of screenshots & all of them are 100% correct as per my knowledge & confidential proofs, kindly look after it & please help me. Please help me in getting my money back, i am in very urgent need of it. Thanking you - shubham kumar.
