Scaler Scam
2 weeks ago
I was enrolled in an online course offered by Scaler. The fee for this course was around 3 Lakhs. Scaler's salespeople approached me through my phone and shared all the details about this course. They promised that they would help me land a job with a high salary with an average of 11LPA. Now after enrolling in the course after 3 months i came to know that all promises made from the sales team were fake. Now they're forcing me to take the course again and again. I paid the fee through EMI option now I'm paying for that EMI monthly 6000RS. I didn't get the product correctly but why i have to pay it so i stopped paying the EMI from last month. But now the collection tram from Eduvanz calling me daily accusing and harassing me. Saying that you're fool who took the online course why do you believe in such course you have to pay our EMIs correctly. What should i have to do i'm being forced my both scaler and eduvanz team. If i reach to scaler means they're pointing towards Eduvanz and if reach to Eduvanz they're pointing it to scaler. Later getting a reply as per policy you have to cancel the course with in 14 days which only 5 basic classes we can't judge anything about this course in that duration.
