Text of Complaint by Berlin:

Respected sir/madam,

                I got an email on 5th June with home based online job and there was a whatsapp number to contact for further details. I did not know that it is a fraud work and I thought that it would be useful to have a home job in the corona situation that is serious at this time and so contacted the whatsapp number. The executive is freelancer Neeraj Kumar. He immediately offered me captcha entry work stating that 10000 captchas should be completed in 10 days and the salary is 30000. He did everything very fast and made a call and told that now you will get a call from our company and you shoI’ll say “yes I want”. I also did the same without knowing his trick. He also told that we don’t want to make any payment and the company itself will make the registration fee and it will be deducted from the salary. He send a demo video. The work was a possible one as the captchas were clear in it but when I started the work the next day as told by my executive the captchas visibility level was very low. The correct captchas entered were shown as wrong ones in the report and there were so many issues like this. So I informed it to my executive through call. He told me to contact the helpline number. They told me that it is technical issue and that she told she will report it in the company and then would inform me. She told me to stop the work until she confirms it with the company and would inform me to when to continue the work. I didn’t get any call from her. So I browsed in the internet and found that this is cheating. So I mailed to the helpline and company about the issues and told them I am not going to continue the work and to cancel the registration. The helpline mailed me that everything is server generated and cannot be changed. I informed them and quit the work. But today they are blackmailing me to pay 6900 rupees. They sent a mail from advocate and called me many times that they will file a case. So I kindly request you to take necessary action against them as they are cheating so many people like me for money.

Thank you.
