A number of complaints have been filed in the consumerscomplaintscourt.com regarding the fraudulent and illegal practices followed by several call centers offering ‘work from home’ activities.
The modus operandi followed by these call centers is simple.
They call people looking for jobs on Naukri, Quikr etc and offer WFH jobs such as translating jpeg images into word etc.
People are induced to join with very attractive and lucrative terms. They get the joinees to sign an agreement.
Thereafter, the frauds claim that the work done by the person fails the quality assurance test and that there is a breach of contract for which the person is liable to pay a penalty.
The frauds also send messages in the names of Advocates threatening that court cases will be filled if the penalty is not paid.

Fortunately, one such call center operating in the name of Amazon Easy Cell and INTRATECH has been busted by the Gujarat police.

Same thing is happening with me with the company name Blue vision Infotech and a person namely Vishal is thretening me to pay the money also i got an email from advocate shekhar verma on his letterpad to pay the amount otherwise court will issue an arrest warrent against me. These fraud companies took advantage of unemployment and they target people who is seeking for job also Quiker is responsible for these type of fraud
These criminals should be punished most severely, like rigorous imprisonment for 10 years or more and make them pay huge penalties so that they become bankrupt so that no one thinks of cheating people further and taking advantages of lack of awareness or knowledge. But, unfortunately due to our week legal system and laws these criminals used to continue there cheating and fraud business openly.

greeting for the day guys
don’t worry they cannot do any thing wrong with us, and remember agreement is made by taking image of signature and photo is not a valid agreement and also remember for any agreement at least two witness is required so ignore them. i repeat they can not do any thing ignore them.
I m also victim of it…what to do we can together stop this please do something
Mere sath abhi aisa ho rha hai 7000/- mang rhe hai bar bar call kr rhe hai court case Karne ko bol rhe hai kya karu btaiye.
Help me
Don’t pay.
i am also getting such message asking money and they are threating if not paid, what will they do if nothing is paid.
Do not pay them any money. They can do nothing as the agreement is not an enforceable one in the court. If you have not signed the agreement in your own hand and in front of witnesses the agreement is totally null and void.
Mereko ak white paper mai sing le liye adhar card le liya or Jo site Diya ha wo site v open nahi ho raha you are blocked dikha Raha ha Mai kya Karu ab
Agar aapne sign ka image bheja hai to woh log usse kuch nahi kar payenge. Koi paisa mat dijiye.
i am also getting such message asking money and they are threating if not paid, what will they do if nothing is paid.
They can do nothing as they are one who are engaged in fraudulent business.
