Fake job offer
7 months ago
I got a job offer for teaching. After selection, they demanded money in the name of various certificates and also demanded my documents. What should I do? Should I report it or not? and consequences of not reporting.
A.Dear Client,
In India, fraudulent job offers and demands for money in exchange for employment are illegal and considered as offenses under various laws, such as the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Information Technology Act, 2000. Depending on the specific circumstances, sections related to cheating, fraud, impersonation, and extortion may be applicable.
In this situation, I strongly advise you to report the incident to the appropriate authorities. You can consider filing a complaint with the local police station, providing all the relevant details, evidence, and documents related to the job offer and the demands made by the prospective employer. It is important to report such incidents to protect yourself and prevent others from falling victim to similar fraudulent activities.
The consequences of not reporting can be detrimental. By not reporting, you may inadvertently be enabling the fraudsters to continue their illegal activities and victimize others. Additionally, if you proceed with complying with their demands, you may be at risk of financial loss, identity theft, or other forms of exploitation. Reporting the incident will increase the chances of bringing the fraudsters to justice and recovering any losses you may have incurred.
Thank you.
