Marcus Recruitment Services — A typical job providing scam

Bit long but I urge all to please read completely:

I get a call from their executive on 27th June that my CV has been shortlisted for a specific role in companies such as WIPRO & HCL. I went there on 29th June, I made an entry in their register and waited for someone to call me. Then 5-10 mins later I am called by the head over their Sweety Sharma. She asks me brief questions about my current role and then gets to the point of asking Rs.4500 (NON-REFUNDABLE IF SELECTED) to create a login for the interview and says that if I fail then they will return that 4500. Btw companies told to me were KPMG, TCS, Tech Mahindra, IBM. Then I am told that if selected I will have to pay another Rs.9500 which will be an agreement b/w me & Marcus for 6 months and if incase I leave in 6months of joining that company then the money will be forfeited and if I work for 6 months it will be refunded. Now coming to the interview, which started after paying 4500, they connect me on a PHONE CALL, NOT VIDEO CALL with an HR (without telling their name or organization), she asks me basic questions for 10 - 15 mins and that's it - I AM SELECTED IN KPMG with 30% hike on my current salary - NO WRITTEN TEST/ASSIGNMENT/EXPERT INTERVIEW - HR DIRECTLY HIRES ME. Now Ms.Sweety tells me that in couple of days I will get my joining letter (if I submit all my relevant docs today including 9500) and there will be a PI round at the time of joining where I can again negotiate with KPMG for the salary. This time I went out came back in few minutes made an excuse that I can't pay right now so she tells me to pay on Wednesday but send your documents today. I NEVER WENT BACK NOR I WILL I GO, I LOST 4500 BUT I DON'T WANT YOU TO LOSE THEM SAME.

Oh also, it is 1st July today and I haven't received the login of the portal of which I was told will receive and had to pay Rs.4500 for it. Upon contacting them, I get a screenshot which is attached here.

Firstly - How can an HR directly hire without the subject expert taking an interview?
Secondly - No written test in such a big MNC? Even a start-up takes it.
Thirdly - The HR on call was speaking broken English with grammatical mistakes but maintained an accent.
Fourth - Which recruiter charges so much money from candidate who is already struggling? First of all, they shouldn't even charge money
Fifth - HR of an MNC selling jobs in that company that to for merely 14, 000?

I urge all to please be safe and don't fall prey to such fraudsters.

They are now using the name Innovation Manpower Services. What is your mail id??? I have also paid them the same amount, many others have on this forum. Contact each other and file an FIR, they might still be caught. At least try to get them caught.
