I entered my personal details on Quickr regarding Work From Home jobs.
2. I get a call from a company named OPTIBASE. Recently,. 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- 9081823978) 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, my account was blocked due to using multiple devices but I dont have any other devices and i didnt entered into another app without closing this and i called to helpline why this is happened what she was saying is pay the money then your account get activated
8. Two days later I receive an email, a Legal Intimation Letter from an Advocate of that company (ADV.Deepak kumar) saying that I have to pay the registration amount to the company or else I will be charged under Section 17 of Indian Contact Act for negligence of payment and Section 420 of IPC for doing fraud for non-payment of registration amount. I the payment is not done then the case will be transferred to an Arbitrary court.
