Nowemployment.in — Charging money for promise of scheduling interview

Address:	Bangalore, Karnataka, 560034

I have been duped of Rs 1823 by a consultancy by name nowemployment.in. They will first call and tell you that there is an excellent job opening matching your resume exactly. They will ask your current CTC and say that you will easily get double that CTC. They will say openings are in Deloitte, CTS and they will quote other big companies. They will ask you to register on their site and pay the registration fee (Rs 1823) right away through online payment. They will say that you can get this amount refunded once you join the company. Once you make the payment, they will say they will verify the payment and call back in 5 mins to provide details about interview location etc. In the second call, they will ask you to pay around Rs 7500 for employment and education verification. At this point I started sensing there is something fishy about this consultancy. I out-rightly rejected to pay this amount, he started to argue that this fee is mandatory and all of this will be refunded when you join. I argued for a few minutes about why are you bothered about BG check etc, then he suddenly hung up the phone. They said they got my profile from Shine.com. I don't know if it's a coincidence that in most of these cases, the resume was picked up from shine.com. Shine guys can check the list of their paid employers/consultancies and see if there is any such name. I googled this consultancy name, there are many complaints against them. This was a clear case of fraud. There is no address or proper contact details on their website. There have been many such cases against this consultancy. I request the police/authorities to investigate these cases and bring the culprits to trial. They should return the money of all the people who they have fooled so far. The number from which I got the call today (10-Dec-2015) was : +91 [protected] and the person who was speaking told his name as Shashank. The first call was at 1:49 PM and the second call was at 2:51 PM.
