Sir, Someone Messaged a data entry job on WhatsApp & they asked me to upload a photo and signature. They gave me 1200 forms, which should be completed in 12 days. I didn't complete it due to medical problems like chicken pox. And now they are asking 1500 rs to fine and 3900 rs and extra more for not completing the work. They harassed me mentally I'm really scared about this. What should I do now?

A.Dear client,
If you joined an online Work from Home Data Entry job work on receipt of any offer letter from the Company, then go through the terms and conditions of said letter that stipulate a condition of charging of fine in case of failure to complete the assignment you have to compensation or fine. In case you find no terms as such in your offer letter then on receipt of such an arbitrary and illegal demand or any threat from the Company, make a complaint against the Company at the local police station and serve a legal notice enclosing a copy of the police complaint and informing them that you are contemplating filing a criminal suit against the Company for cheating and criminal intimidation u/s.415 and 503 of IPC. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.
