Is there any chance of getting money back if he's not receiving my calls and not answering my texts ?
The whole situation is that yesterday I was talking with elite company agent Priyanka she said that I need to pay 1000 for ECS which provide me direct transfer after that she said I don't have salary account so I need to pay 1050 for converting that and then she said I again need to pay GST charges which is unreasonable why I pay 2250 for GST I told her that but she said it's necessary we'll give you back with all charges and project completion so I did but again she says that it's not 2250 it's 5000 so I need to pay 3000 and then I get epiphany that no this is all wrong and I said to her that don't lure me and give back my money, after this she's not receiving my calls and msgs!

A.Dear Client,

Fraudulent companies often exploit individuals seeking online data entry or part-time jobs, attempting to extort money from unsuspecting job seekers. If you receive such unethical threats or demands from such entities, it is advisable to ignore them, recognizing the dubious nature of their intentions. However, as a victim of an online job scam, taking certain legal steps can help address the situation:

1. Ignore Unethical Threats: Disregard any unethical threats or demands from the fraudulent company, recognizing them as indicative of their malicious intent.

2. File a Police Complaint: Make a formal complaint (GD) against the fraudulent company at the local police station. Provide any available papers, documents, or digital evidence related to the scam.

3. Serve a Legal Notice: Engage a legal professional to draft and serve a legal notice to the company. Enclose a copy of the police complaint, informing them of your intention to pursue legal action.

4. Contemplate Criminal Suit: Explicitly mention in the legal notice that you are contemplating filing a criminal suit against the company for offenses such as cheating and criminal intimidation under Sections 415 and 503 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

By following these steps, you demonstrate a proactive approach to address the scam, and the legal notice serves as a formal communication asserting your rights and intentions. Resolving such matters may take time, but these initial actions contribute to the process of seeking justice and protecting your interests.

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 threat or demand from such type of Company, just ignore it because the nature of the demands/threats itself proves their ulterior motives behind the offer. However, being a victim of an online job scam, 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 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 be resolved after that. If the matter is not resolved, consult with an Advocate for guidance and steps.
