A.Dear client,

Your job cannot legally ask you to pay for working there.

With regards to the phone call, you may file an enquiry with the consumer commission of India. You can file a complaint in either whatsapp or through phone call in the number of 1800-11-4000 or 1915.

Please visit the website https://consumerhelpline.gov.in/ for more details.

Thank you

A.Dear client,
This kind of online data entry/part-time jobs is being offered and operated by Fraudster companies/entities to extort money from unemployed youths. So, on receipt of such an unethical and arbitrary demand from such type of Company, just ignore it because the nature of demands itself proves their ulterior motives behind the offer. However, on receipt of repeated calls or messages/emails demanding money for different purposes or legal notice threatening legal action, then make a complaint(GD) against the said Company at the local police station with whatever papers/documents or digital evidence you have and serve a legal notice to the company enclosing a copy of the police complaint(GD) 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. Hopefully, the matter may stand resolved thereafter. In case the matter is not resolved then consult with an Advocate for guidance and steps.
