1.I entered my personal details on Quickr regarding Work From Home jobs.

2. I get a call from a company named OPTIBASE. 13/05/2021. They tell me that I will have to fill 600 forms in 5 days for which they will pay Rs34.5 per form. They right away ask for my personal details like my Email id and the picture of my Identity Proof. They make an account for me right after few seconds and ask me to login to that account with only one device.

3. I ask what is the guarantee of receiving money from their end to which they sent me a contract. According to that legal contract, I will be paid the amount only if the amount of correct forms are above 540. Rs 6900 will be deducted from what I earn as the Registration Amount. And it also said that if the maximum limit of accuracy of forms(540) is not reached, I will have to pay the Registration amount from my own side to the company.

4.Since the contract was already made by them and it had all my personal details, I got a bit suspicious and nervous as I did want to fall for any fraud. I called the person who contacted me from the company(her contact details- 9081466982) and asked her that why was I being asked to pay an amount if Iam unable to complete on time or if the forms are wrong. She told me “Dont worry maam, if you’re unable to complete and want to just leave you can tell me anyday, You wont be charged anything”

5.I knew I could complete those forms if I try hard and maybe I’ll get some money if this place is trustworthy. I had nothing to lose. So i started the work. With all my effort, sitting infront of the laptop day-and-night, checking each and every form thrice before submitting, I somehow completed the target within the time in 5 days. I was pretty happy since I was sure there were definitely no mistakes since i took my sisters help for cross-checking each form before submitting and correcting any mistake.

6. After submitting. I see my report which says I have failed the task and 120 forms are incorrect. I somehow had a feeling that this company was fake but seeing that made me feel devastated. It was completely IMPOSSIBLE that 120 forms out of 600 could go wrong. I saw the mistakes in the incorrect forms shown in that report. I am a skilled typist and there was no way I could make such big mistakes in my typing. It was definitely a fraud. I felt like I wasted my 5 days and was disappointed.
