A.Dear Client,

Ignore threats from fraudulent companies offering online data entry jobs, as their intentions are clear from the nature of the threats. If they persist with demands for money or threats of legal action, file a complaint at the local police station with any relevant evidence. Send a legal notice to the company, enclosing a copy of the police complaint, indicating your intention to pursue criminal charges for cheating and intimidation under Sections 415 and 503 of the IPC.

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 threats itself proves their ulterior motives behind the offer. 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 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.
