[Resolved]  Quikr — Conversion of 200 pages image files to ms word files in 25 days as hombe

Address:Vizag

I had applied for a online typing job in quikr. After some days I received a call from one Mr Jothish asking me whether I am interested in online typing jobs and that he had got my contact number from Quikr. He also stated that his company was outsourcing work from Vizag in Andhra Pradesh. When I asked for their email/office address he will provide later. I said yes and immediately I received a message from VK-PROJOB, stating to download 100 images each from two links (PART 1 https://qrco.de/bbb8h8) and (PART 2 https://qrco.de/bbb8vd) which I did and as per instructions in the message. As per instructions in the download I was to finish the job in 25 days.

After few days I again got a message from VK-PROJOB stating If you are working with 200 images project, please share this code 2XMLnHT20, if you are working on 500 images work, share this code 5htmlp20 with your agent only on Whatsapp also it was instructed in the message to share this code to activate the product key within 24 hours otherwise it will be invalid also to send correct code. If not your account get blocked.

When I shared the code with agent Mr Jothish through his Whatsapp Number, I was instructed to complete the typing work in time and submit as per deadline. I converted 200 pages image files to MS Word by typing.
Soon after I received another message form VK-PROJOB with instructions to submit the completed work on Email ID [protected]@gmail.com and forward a screen shot of the sent Email to the agent which I did.

After some days again I received a message from VK-PROJOB stating that my job was verified and quality report was 94.33 also another message that I will receive a IVR call through which I will receive a code which has to be shared with the agent. I waited for the IVR which never came, next day I called the agent and he instructed that the if I had not received the code he can get it through SMS and I will have to pay Rs. 683/- as SMS charges which will be refunded alongwith the payment of the work done. I had some apprehensions still I was convinced by Mr Jothish the agent to deposit the amount in a mobile No.[protected] through paytm which I did and the screen shot was shared with the agent Jothish .

I got another message from VK-PROJOB that my account was active and they will be creating a business pay pal account and forwarding the ID and Password to me in message the next day. I waited the next day, however I did not receive anything, I again contacted the agent Mr Jothish, he asked me hold and immediately I received a message from VK-PROJOB that they had created the Paypal account however the payment amount could not be credited as a minimum balance was required to be held in the Paypal account for payment. The agent further said that I should deposit a sum of Rs. 1552/- for activation of the Paypal account. I was not sure about this but he told me that no further amount was required to get the payment and that I would be receiving such jobs for the next 6 months. I was somehow convinced and I was asked to deposit the amount into a mobile Number [protected] which I did through Paytm. I was told by the agent that I would get the Paypal ID and Password the next day and that the amount which I had deposited would be in the same Paypal account.

Now I have been trying to contact the agent Mr Jothish (Mobile No [protected]) through Whatsapp messages and mobile calls, but he is not replying to the messages nor attending my calls. Now I am sure that this is a scam and the people involved are very cunning and makes the unsuspecting clients to make their job offer as genuine. Moreover I regret I didn't go through consumer complaints earlier otherwise I would not have cheated. I request all never to respond to any messages from these cheating job sites and also would like Quikr to take action in this matter so that genuine job seekers dont suffer in these times of financial low due to Covid19 Pandemic. Please take action in this matter to refund my amount at the earliest.

Thanks
