Pravasi Legal Cell approaches Delhi Police regarding online job fraud

-
Pravasi Legal Cell has been receiving numerous complaints from people cheated by online job scammers. Recently we were approached by a young woman who was duped. She came across a highly attractive nursing job advertisement in the United Kingdom on the popular job portal Naukri.com and applied for the same, sending to the employer filled in forms and other documents.
 She, on being “selected”, was asked to make a refundable deposit amounting to about 70000/-. Later, more money was demanded on different pretexts. Sensing danger, she declined any further payment and was informed that the application has been rejected as she could not make complete payment within the stipulated time. Her attempts to get the amount refunded or contact the “employers” failed.


She approached Pravasi legal cell and with basic research we were able to know about the fraudsters. Since the payment was made into an Indian bank account we have initiated legal action to help her get the money back. A compliant has been filed with the Delhi Police Commissioner, seeking action against the culprits and assistance in getting the money back. This is not an isolated case and many Indians are getting cheated on similar grounds, though the modus operandi of the fraudsters differs. It is pertinent for aspiring emigrants to verify the credentials of the potential recruiters before making any payment or sending any confidential documents to them. A basic research online about the recruiters and following the government guidelines will do one great good.
