Recently I was a part of an online Fraud with respect to employment.
I received an email from the company Pfizer Pharmaceuticals (Which is a real name of the company, a global drug manufacturer) saying I've been shortlisted for a job and they wanted me to interview. The interview happened via written test and 2 days back they gave me an offer saying i've been selected and I should be moving to London.
The company informed me saying a person from British Embassy in India will get in touch with me for Visa Applications and procedure. And that person got in touch with me and asked me to fill the application form which I did. Later she called and said for the fees for Visa, I need to transfer 33, 750 Rs to an account which they'll provide and they'll prepare a DD and send it to the council.
This gave me a doubt and immediately called British Embassy in Bengaluru and asked about the process and they said "please do not fall for this, this is a scam and we do not ask money to be transferred to any account whatsoever"
The person who got in touch with me for the Visa process is using Jan Thomson's name. (Jan Thomson is the actual British High Commission in India representing India)
Also in the appointment letter the Name of the person and his signature do not match!.
