I am writing to share a harrowing experience I recently encountered while searching for remote job opportunities. I believe my story sheds light on the ever-present threat of online scams and the importance of vigilance in our digital age.
Several days ago, I responded to a job posting on Quikr for a “Diligent Data Entry” position. I was contacted promptly by a person who claimed to be from the company. Without any discussion about my qualifications or skills, I was swiftly offered the job and presented with an agreement that required me to complete 600 forms within six days.
Despite diligently adhering to the stipulated rules, my situation took a dark turn on the fifth day of work. The website suddenly displayed a message indicating that my “quality score” was under review. Alarmed, I contacted the company for clarification. This is when things started to unravel.
I received a call from a different number, accusing me of violating the agreement and insisting that I pay ₹3999 as a penalty. When I questioned the basis of these accusations, they turned hostile and issued threats. I was inundated with emails carrying ominous subjects, legal case numbers, and references to legal articles. Furthermore, an alleged advocate left a voice message demanding a staggering ₹25000.
As I delved deeper into the matter, it became apparent that the company had exploited vulnerabilities in the system. They had obtained my signature online, using a fake stamp, and without any proper verification. Recognizing the elaborate nature of this scam, I decided to take a stand against these malicious tactics.
I am writing to you not only to share my personal experience but also to raise awareness about the dangers of online scams. I intend to report this fraudulent company to the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal to prevent others from falling victim to similar schemes. It is my hope that my story will serve as a cautionary tale and encourage individuals to exercise caution when engaging in online job opportunities.
In an age where technology opens doors to countless opportunities, it also exposes us to potential risks. Let us remain informed, vigilant, and united against those who seek to exploit unsuspecting individuals.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please feel free to reach out if you require any further information or assistance.
