[Resolved]  Naukri.com — Fake and threatening call

A person named Vikram called today asking why I haven't accepted the interview invitation from three companies as mentioned in the profile. He mentioned britannia, cipla and pharmeasy, he could fix an interview by paying a refundable amount to generate a reference id. I knew it was fake. I didn't accept immediately he changed his tone and said a legal action would be taken for ruining the company reputation by rejecting there offers. Firstly, I haven't applied for anyone of the company mentioned by him. He said the police will come to your door step tomorrow your resume would be blacklisted and you won't be able to work in India for 7 years. He asked to pay a penalty amount of rs. 48000 and said a message would be forwarded to you regarding legal action an an advocate would connect to you shortly.
Requesting you to kindly take actions as these are happening often and pressuring individuals mentally which isn't right.
Sending an attached ph. no. through which I received call.
