This has happened with me a couple of times now! As soon as I registered or re-login on my monster.com's portal and start browsing through jobs; all of a sudden I start receiving these fake job calls wherein they seek money, provide unreasonable salary, weird job profiles, etc!
Initially, I ignored it but when it happened again (recently) I couldn't help myself from wondering if it was Monsterindia.com that probably provides these scammers with the data of job seekers.
I am registered with naukri, iimjobs, etc as well but I've never received these kind of fraudulent job offers! And the best part is as soon as I uninstalled the monster app, I stopped receiving these calls!
High time the appropriate authorities look into Monster.com's business activities.

Monsterindia.com Customer Care's response Dear Job Seeker,

Monster is dedicated to providing the safe experience for you to search jobs and manage your career. In our endeavor to serve you better and to offer you a safe environment further to your career growth, we urge you to take a few simple security precautions when evaluating job postings on Monster and job opportunities that you may receive via email/ phone.

It has come to our notice that few unscrupulous elements are approaching candidates, claiming/pretending as our associates or partners and are fraudulently charging fees in lieu of fake job offers. In order to avoid such elements, please make a note of the following:
• Monster recommends jobseekers to be alert & verify the legitimacy of such offers
• Be cautious of any such job appointment confirmation/offer letter without any interview with the prospective employer
• Verify any suspicious URL or web link, in case of any doubt, please be cautious.
• Please check the legitimacy before sharing any personal information /bank account /credit card/ or any other sensitive information
Please note Monster does not authorize any agency/partner to collect fees against job offers.

We further suggest the following identifiers to screen such fraudulent job offers.
• Company or individual seeking upfront/advance fees through bank/cash in individual name or through wire transfer.
• If the company or an individual provides an offer letter without any interview.
• The email address used is from free email address and not from company email. User is advised to search for contact information on search engines to know if the individuals involved in job scams earlier.
• If the job requires upfront/advance payment for a job offer/processing of your application/processing of visa/immigration fees etc.
• If the company seeks your personal information/ bank related information (like credit card details/bank account/online banking details)
We advise you to report any suspicious mailers/activity, if pretending to be from Monster, to our following email addresses: [protected]@monsterindia.com / [protected]@monsterindia.com
