A.Dear Client,
It appears that you've been potentially caught up in a job-related scam. If you've paid money to a consultancy for a promised job that hasn't been provided, and you have evidence in the form of screenshots of the payment, you might consider taking the following steps:
Contact the Consultancy: Reach out to the consultancy in writing (email or formal letter) and explain the situation. Request a refund for the payment you made due to the unfulfilled promise of a job. Make sure to include all relevant details and evidence.
Document Everything: Keep a thorough record of all communication you have with the consultancy. This includes emails, messages, and any other forms of communication that can help establish your case.
Demand a Refund: In your communication, clearly state that you are seeking a refund due to the failure of the consultancy to provide the promised job. Request a specific timeline for when you expect to receive your refund.
Consumer Protection Agencies: Research consumer protection agencies or authorities in your region and file a complaint. Provide them with the evidence you have, including screenshots of the payment and communication.
Bank or Payment Disputes: If you made the payment using a credit card or online payment platform, you might be able to dispute the payment. Contact your financial institution and explain the situation to see if they can assist in recovering the funds.
Online Reviews and Warnings: Consider sharing your experience on job-related websites, forums, and social media platforms to warn others about the potential scam.
Police Report: If you believe the consultancy engaged in fraudulent activities, you could file a police report. However, the response of law enforcement may vary based on jurisdiction and local laws.
Thanks
