Times Of India — misleading/cheating adin your reputed daily in the name of sms sending job on 16th june 20

Respected sir,

Your reputed times of india newspaper (Bangalore) released an ad on 16th june under "other vacancies" - "part time jobs" as follows:

"sms-sending-job, work from home, m/f earn 15000 to 45000 monthly. Reg. Fee 999, mobile, laptop free. Contact hina - [protected], [protected]"

When called (I dont know who's hina - its not she or he who attedned the call. The person attended the call insisted for payment of 999/- and then only he said he would interact further with me.

I remitted cash 999 on 19th june (Ad did.16th) to the account number provided by them as

Name karan singh, a/c[protected]
Canara bank
Ifsc code cnrb0000469

I confirmed deposit they said ok. But subsequently called were not attedned properly and then they stopped calling me inspite of my several calls to both the numbers. They wanted me to come on whatsapp & i did so. They do not respond till date.

Leave alone assigning any jobs they did not till now send any details asked for w. R. T. The job details. I gues its not a big task to respond.

I communicated with them in whatsapp further as follows:

21st june - may i expect further details plz

27th june - how long it will take for me to just get details plz?

Pls. Confirm as to when d sms work will be assigned to me, as per your advertisement in times of india. I am waiting for your reply.

28th june - good morning. I am expecting your reply plz.

What prevents you to just reply? What's the motive behind it. I still hope it cannot be cheating as you use in your whatsapp dp jio symbol.. Hope you will not make me take it up further. Plz respond a line in reply. I think you take it very lightly.

Again i sent the details of my deposit on 28th june for which the person talked wanted me to send him a screen shot of my payment details. I sent.

He messaged ok wait.

My further whatsapps:

Thq. I shall wait.
Tell me how to proceed.
Bolide sir. Main kya karoom ahi.
Hindi script main be bej dhijiye.
Hindi read kar sakthaa hoop.
Send me details without unnecessary delay
(I just wanted details at this stage).
Your details should be in writing.

29th june -

How long plz? Kithna her yoga? Krupaya bathayiye. I want details, complete details for which you advertised in toi & collected my hard earned money from me, a retired person, jobless. Send complete details in writing (English or hindi) to me without any more delay plz. I still believe it's not a fraud, a fake, a bogus. You also said "mobile & lap top free". If you need extra reasonable time for any reason to entrust the job, you may take.
But details in writing to reach me are a must.

30th june

Your numbers are mostly switched off. You are not giving proper response. Payment proof has already been sent as above. Hope you will not take it lightly without understanding the seriousness of collecting money without extending any services you assured in your advertisement in times of india, a leading english daily. Send a proper reply in writing plz. Treat it urgent.

Send your reply without fail to my gmail id - dr. [protected]@gmail.com. I can work for you from bangalore provided you are sincere & genuine. First send me details for the money you received in your account (Karan singh).

I am just waiting for your detailed response.

July 01 - i deposited money on 19th june. Now it's july. You are not even responding to me properly. You are taking it very lightly after collecting money from me. I made calls but you didn't attend.

Then i sent two voice messages. Reproduced their ad for their immediate reference.

Sorry for such a long response. I am reading your newspaper daily. Watching times now. I have a very high regard & opiniion about you and your sincere dedicated staff. Toi should not be a platform for cheaters. I see a lot of such ads in your daily with different names & contact numbers with similar messages. Its my guess that many retired & jobless people are getting cheated this way using your good name & reputation.

I do not blame the daily at all. But please be alert whilst accepting ads from bad elements. During this pandemic these elements are still making it worst.

They say in whatsapp: jioreliance sms sending jobs. Jio name is misused i think.

Kindly do the needful in whatever way possible.
