Part-time work scam
4 months ago
I find a data entry job on quikr jobs 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 4 forms and then the website was blacking out . And now they are asking me 6,400 rs for not completing the work. And now using me with an legal notice and telling me face in court by hiring an lawyer, What should I do now? Should I block them ?
A.Dear Client,
In the given situation, being a victim of an online job scam, you need to make a complaint against the Company at the local police station and serve a counter-legal notice enclosing a copy of the police complaint and informing them that you are contemplating filing a criminal suit against the fraud Company for cheating and criminal intimidation u/s.415 and 503 of IPC. If the matter is not resolved, take the legal advice and service whenever required to handle the situation in right way.

A.Dear Client,
It appears that you may have encountered a potential online job scam. Be cautious about making any payments, especially if the company is threatening legal action. Avoid blocking them immediately; instead, take the following steps to protect yourself:
1.Verify the Legitimacy:Research the company, check reviews, and verify its existence. Legitimate companies generally don't resort to legal threats over unfinished work.
2.Review the Agreement: Go through the agreement you digitally signed. Ensure you understand the terms and conditions, especially those related to payment and penalties.
3.Communicate Professionally: Respond to their communication, asking for clarification on the issue. Politely express your concerns and seek an amicable resolution.
4.Do Not Pay: Refrain from making any payments until you are sure about the legitimacy of the company and its claims.
5.Seek Legal Advice:If you are uncertain or feel threatened, consult with a legal professional who can guide you on the best course of action.
6.Report the Incident:If you suspect fraud, consider reporting the incident to local authorities and online platforms where the job was advertised.
Blocking them may limit your ability to gather information. Prioritize communication, seek clarification, and consult with legal professionals before taking any further steps. Remember, genuine employers do not typically resort to legal threats over incomplete work.
Thankyou
