A.Dear Client,
All these fake and fraudulent entities are involved in online data entry scams to trap the victim to extort money with ulterior motives. Just ignore their calls or messages. However, on receipt of repeated calls or messages demanding money or threatening to legal action, then make a complaint(GD) 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. Once they received your legal notice, they would hide their link and contacts. In case the matter is not resolved then consult with an Advocate for guidance and steps.

A.Dear Client,
Firstly, we need to check the legitimacy of the company. It is a common practice for online data entry scams to send legal notices to their victims in order to intimidate them into paying money.
