A.Dear Client,

These online fake job scams, operated by fraudulent companies to extort money from unemployed individuals, are unfortunately prevalent. If you have already fallen victim to such a scheme and suffered financial losses, it is crucial to take appropriate steps to protect yourself from further harm.

To begin, it is advised to ignore calls, messages, or emails from these fraudsters. If the communication persists, and you receive repeated demands for money or threats of legal action, consider the following course of action:

1. Make a formal complaint (General Diary - GD) against the fake company at your local police station. Provide any papers, documents, or digital evidence you may have related to the fraudulent activities.

2. Serve a legal notice to the fake company, enclosing a copy of the police complaint (GD). In the legal notice, inform them of your intention to file a criminal suit against the company for cheating and criminal intimidation under sections 415 and 503 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

By taking these steps, you demonstrate a proactive approach to address the situation and seek legal recourse. In many cases, such actions can lead to a resolution of the matter, and the fraudulent activities may be curtailed.

A.Dear client,
This kind of online fake jobs is being offered and operated by Fraudster companies/entities to extort money from unemployed youths. You already become a victim of that foul play and lost considerable money. So, to protect yourself from further loss, just ignore their calls or messages. However, on receipt of repeated calls or messages/emails demanding money for different purposes or threatening legal action, then make a complaint(GD) against the said fake Company at the local police station with whatever papers/documents or digital evidence you have and serve a legal notice 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.
