Naukrione.com — cheating/ fraud in the pretext of employment

Address:	New Delhi, Delhi
Website:	www.naukrione.com

I would like to report an act of cheating and fraud perpetrated by the website naukrione.com and people running the website, by promising me job placement services and deceptively taking a deposit of inr 16, 933, transacted/transferred by me to their notified account online from my bank on jan 18th. I was induced to make this payment to the said website under the pretext and promise that i will be provided services after one time registration charge of only rupees 5000) and support towards gaining employment. The facts are as follows:

1. In my efforts towards seeking employment opportunity, i had surfed through various employment services portals/websites and uploaded my resume at www.shine.com on 17th january 2018. Subsequent to my registering my details on the website and to my surprise, i received a call on my registered mobile number from this unknown mobile no [protected] (Claiming to be from shine.com) soliciting on behalf of www.shine.com and further proposed to help me and encouraged me to visit the portal www.naukrione.con and detailed their offer of a customized and priority services to me in finding a better employment opportunity and asked me to deposit a sum of inr 5000 as one time payment valid for 5 years.
2. In order to make the payment, i was, introduced to another gentleman named mr. Tarun and he guided me the steps to make the payment through the portal itself. I was made to log on, to naukrione.com and this is the fist time i got introduced to their company, naukrione.com. Till now, it was shine.com for me. Upon my question, i was told that this is their official portal so don’t bother about the name. Secondly, the charges became 5500 plus 18% gst which made a total sum of rupees 6490. I objected on this change that why this was not informed earlier. However they apologized for the mistake. Understanding that the standard service portals do have paid personalized services, i did not doubt the credibility of the website www.naukrione.com and proceeded to transfer the required sum of inr 6, 490 to their designated account online. I paid the money as required and a sum of inr 6490 was debited from my savings account and transferred to the payee e study tools as per my account statement.

3. As the amount was transferred sucessfully, i was told that they will generate a unique reference id for me which i should not disclose to anyone else even to anone from their team. As a process, i was made to click and select a few things on the portal and i was asked to kae another payment of rupees 10443. I was very furious at this demand as this was another hidden charges which i was not made aware off at the onset. I had no choice but to make the payment as i had already transferred rupees 6490 earlier. However mr. Tarun confirmed that this is the last amount and there are no further charges. Additionally, if i am not satisfied with their service, they will return my money on receipt of an email request from my side. The said sum of inr 10, 443 stands debited from my account and paid to the payee edubizz19 as per my account statement.

4. After the sucessfull transfer of rupees 10, 443, my call was transferred to another gentleman named, mr. Mathew lawrence. He gave a unique id to me and asked to run a a verification process for all documents. He again instructed me to click a few options and eventually took me to another page that was asking for an approx amount of some 12, 000 rupees. By this time, i was clear that they are trying to cheat me. I refused to make the payment as asked for a refund. Mr. Mathews refused the return and said that the amount will only be refunded once the entire process is complete.
5. Please note that at their initial solicitation, it was never stated that i would have to make various payments, one after another, in order to avail their services. Obviously, by now i had paid almost inr 16, 933 to this website www.naukrione.com and my doubt became certain that this portal is running a widespread fraudulent network, cheating people out of their need. I asked the person who had called me to return my money as i would not be interested in availing their services. The person on the other side of the phone did not give me a satisfactory reply.
6. I immediately approached the local police station at sector 46 faridabad on january 18th and requested the officer present to take my complaint against the said website www.naukrione.com and persons behind it. I was advised to call the website person and insist on returning my money and settle it. I noted the physical office address given on the portal www.naukrione.com, i. E. B-1/30, sector-6, rohini and visited the place along with a police officer. However, to my surprise, no such office exists at the stated premises given on the website www.naukrione.com contact us page. This further strengthens the fact that the portal www.naukrione.com is running a job scam, thereby cheating innocent people by deceit and fraudulent means is substantially correct. I also communicated on their mobile number and threatened to take appropriate legal recourse in order to recover the money paid. I was immediately assured that the money will be refunded and requested to give them a weeks’ time to discuss it internally in order to do the needful.
7. I also received a call from mr. Ranjeet from a mobile number, [protected], who claimed to be from the refund deparment, that the money will be returned but requested to not post any negative reviews on the internet.
8. Even after a lapse of 4 months approx. I have not received the refund of my money as promised by the website www.naukrione.com. And upon my approaching them, they did not respond back. It would appear that now they have stopped any sort of communication with me, making it abundantly clear that i have been cheated and deceived by the said website www.naukrione.com and people behind this fraudulent act (Mobile no. [protected]).
9. Shine.com should also take responsibility of this fraud as their name is being used by several fraud recruitment companies and these companies have access to all the details being posted on shine.com.
10. I have filed a police compliant under the cyber crime cell.
10. I want complete refund of my money
