Data entry fraud
9 months ago
Sir, I find a data entry job on email and they give me an online agreement which I signed digitally. They give me 500 forms, which should be completed in 5 days. I did complete 500 forms in 4 days but my id is deactivated. And now they are asking 6500 rs to activate the account and If not they say they will file a case against me and send it . What should I do now?
A.Dear client,
These data entry fraud cases are done by those companies which are fake and and they themselves are fraud and harass simple people. You must know how to save yourself from these type of fraudsters and protect yourself.
First of whenever you get a job offer of these kind from an unknown company to do data entry do not accept that job as mostly they are fake jobs.
Secondly before accepting ask them to send a job offer letter and the company profile and website.
Ask them to send the company GST no. PAN no. CIN no and check the same online whether they are valid or not of they are not valid then just ignore and do not go ahead.
If suppose they threaten you then tell that you are going to file a police complaint and lodge an FIR against the data entry fraud company and then hopefully they should stop harassing you.
Never ever pay them any money whatever happens.

A.Dear Client,
If you get a copy of the agreement signed by you for getting the job of data entry, then go through the condition of the said agreement that empowers the company to claim compensation for breach of any condition by the employee that causes financial loss or damages to the Company for the deficiency on the part of the employee. If there is no such stipulation, then they cannot claim compensation even through litigation. Sections 73 and 74 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 provide for unliquidated and liquidated damages respectively. Unliquidated Damages are the damages awarded by the courts on the basis and assessment of actual loss or injury caused to the party suffering breach of contract. That is because every breach of every contract need not necessarily result in actual loss or damage. So without being scared with the message of the Company that may be sent to you with ulterior motives to pressurize you to agree with their illegal and arbitrary demand, instead you need to consult an Advocate to get first-hand information on the subject and for service of a legal notice to the Company and prepare yourself mentally to face the consequences if arises seeking the service of an Advocate.
