Recently I received a message on WhatsApp for Data entry job.They told me that You need to fill 375 forms with 80 percent accuracy in 4 days with salary Rs.12000-15000.For Starting your work you need send me your Aadhaar Card photos and sign a contract.I thought I can do this job easily because I just need to fill the data and my typing speed is good.So I sent my DL photos to their WhatsApp number.Within few minutes or seconds they send me a contact (attached below) to sign then I signed the contract and sent to them.Since it was 4 days work I thought I can do easily but It was not easy The webportal (iconicdatamanagement.com) is designed in a way you cannot complete the work in 4 days.Same happened with me I cannot complete the work and next day I got call from a different phone number saying I’m legal advocate from Iconic Data Management explaining that you had a contract with my client and and failed to fullfill the same you need to pay Rs. 9999 within 15 minutes to stop legal action against you otherwise we will file a case against you for the breach of contract under sections 71,72 and 73 of The Indian Contract Act 1872 and See you in the Bangalore Court .I didn’t pay any amount to them because I’m a house wife and I don’t had that amount of money.I tried to convince them about my situation but They didn’t agree and called me on WhatsApp from different phone numbers.I was panicked.They tried to put pressure on me that after the legal proceedings police will come and take you to the jail and you have to pay Rs.68000 to the company for damages and 99000 for court fee. They calling daily and black mailing.

The same happened to me. I completed the work, but they said the forms have so many mistakes and I will have to pay Rs.10000 to them or will file a case against me in Bangalore court.
After that, I checked my mistakes. They disregarded even correct entries. In the agreement, they did not mention that interchanging uppercase and lowercase letters are considered a mistake. Also, they did not mention that everything has to be the way it is. I corrected some of the errors I found previously in their digital forms, but they claimed all the entries as wrong.
If you are ever contacted by Iconic Data Management, don’t sign up for work or send them any details. They are fraud.
