Text of Complaint by Swastik:

I am a student and a dropper. I was looking for a part time WFH Job. So this other day I got a phone call from a company named FMC creations from Panji, Maharashtra. They asked me that if I was looking for data entry job for which I said yes. So there was a lady on the other side of the call asked me to send my documents, photo and a signature on their WhatsApp no. I sent them the documents and she called me again telling me the terms and conditions of the job. She told me that in this data entry job.. I’ve to fill 500 forms in 5 given days with 90% no error data. If the no error percentage would be more less than 90% I’ve to pay a amount of 5000 to company due to the loss of company. They send me a agreement (which is fake) and they didn’t even give me time to read it. They gave me the login ID and the password to do my work.
When I was filling the forms I suspected that this is a scam. Because the forms were irrelevant, it was from United Kingdom some random persons details. Then I googled these type of data entry job scams and I found a video of a YouTube channel named ‘KARL ROCKS’ and they’ve posted the same type of scam video and I watched it and then got fully assured that this is a total scam. The agreement they sent me was also fake.

I’ve attached the fake agreement that they sent me so you get the idea how this scam works.
