Searchline Database — non - refund

This has been my very first foray into working from home. I had gotten a call from quikr that my profile had been selected for a data entry company that pays 180 rs. Per page, it was an offline work. He asked me to go for the interview wherein the company executive would explain me my work and when i asked that if i had to pay registration fees he informed me that he had no idea since he was employed by qickr and not by the company itself. Since this company has offices 4 branches in mumbai, i felt a little safe to work for them since other such data entry jobs are pretty bogus and have no known offices. Anyways i go there and have a nice chat with their p. R. Lady urvashi tyagi and she tells me that she has been working for the company for the past 2 years and has been successfully earning every month. She explained to me that the company takes rs. 9720 as registration fees out of which rs. 9000 is a refunded through a system of 12 slots, which they pay you back as you submit the 12 projects. They have a contract that they ask you to sign, only after which you can start working. They explain things in simple terms but it's much more complex.
After paying their exorbitant registration fees i come back home and read reviews and complaints of other people dubbed out of their money due to some complex scheme. The contract protects them more than it protects us.
The images are so unreadable that it's impossible for you not to make any mistakes and if you make even a single one then it's impossible to not make it. Unfortunately, i realized all this after reading about other peoples experiences which confirmed my suspicion. After that, i went to their office and spoke to their manager about not wanting to work for them and wanting my refund back (Which i could luckily demand fully as i had not signed their contract which would make it impossible for me to get my money back if i didn't work for them, almost like slavery, pretty convenient for them to tie us like this by taking our money) i sent the email to their help desk asking for my refund since i couldn't work because of my poor eyesight and their images being absolute unreadable to which they initially offered to reduce my workload to 30 lines instead of their 50-55 lines, which i knew they wouldn't keep their word. After me stating very implicitly that i could not work for them they tell me that they'll refund me after deducting 25%.
I have not worked for them, not signed their atrocious contract which would have bound me to them, they don't pay you if there is a single mistake on the page so all your efforts would have been for nothing and after all this, they want to deduct 25% of my money, which they told me was refundable at the time of registering and didn't mention any company policies that can deduct 25% for absolutely doing nothing. These people are frauds in the name of the employer who is taking money from their employees instead of paying them. Unfortunately, they aren't the only once but frauds none the less. The reasoning they gave for accepting such a high registration fees is that it ensures you are in the company and you get it back as you work according to your contract, but i never signed their contract and technically not their employee, so they've no excuse to keep my money. This company runs a very smooth racket of divesting people of their own hard earned money. Please don't visit their offices, they can be very persuasive and take advantage of a desperate situation wherein their offer sounds too good to be true because it is too good to be true! Dont waste your money by giving it to this company, they're cheaters and dont return your money that they say is fully refundable!!
