Due to the present Pandemic scenario and forced confinement at home, I decided to Work from Home through some online portal so that I could generate some earnings for my livelihood. With the view of grabbing some job opportunities, I uploaded my resume on www.shine.com. Just a few days later I received a call from Global IT Solutions, a company which posed itself as an online job provider (Employer). They briefed me about their work profile where I was supposed to fill 700 forms in 7 days and that too with 90% accuracy. My remuneration was fixed on a “per form basis” and was promised to be paid INR 40 per form. I accepted the offer instantly as it sounded lucrative to me and also because I was prepared to work hard to deliver my best performance. I was completely unaware that a trap has already been laid for duping me. I am a spiritual person by nature and therefor do not doubt the integrity of people so easily. Thus, I got trapped in this concocted scheme which was offered to me for earning some money and that eventually resulted in severe breach of my trust.
The actual game started from here. They asked me to submit my Aadhar Card and Passport-sized photo and digital signatures and under the assurance of a job offer, I had to send, so I shared the same with them.
Subsequently they shared a Legal Agreement (attaching for your reference) on an official Non-Judicial Stamp Paper with Serial No. E800178 issued by some Vadodara (Gujrat) based Stamp Vendor P Anil Kumar Bakaram. He seems to have a Regn. No. which appears to be of 4 digits but just initial 3 digits are visible and the fourth digit has been intentionally masked by using photoshop editing. However, for records, the visible digits are 576 which can be seen from the attached Legal Agreement.
The company has made this agreement (all digitally morphed) with my scanned signature, digital copy of my passport-sized photo and digital copy of my Aadhar Card on it. It was so meticulously done, that on the first appearance, it looked proper and genuine to me. In the agreement there was a Penalty Clause as well wherein I was supposed to pay them a penal amount of INR 7000 if I fail to submit my work in my prescribed time. I was confident for myself and thus I decided to move ahead. They created an account on my name and issued a username and password for me to login and start working for them.
I started working from 24th April 2021 (Saturday) with all my dedication and honesty but just after 3 days (i.e. on 27th April 2021), when I went to start my regular work and tried to login, I was denied my Login by a pop-up message that my Login has been Blocked. When I tried to contact on their customer care number, they said that I shall receive a call soon on the subject. I was waiting for a call from them and got a call soon where this lady namely Chaitali Bhatt, and having Mobile Number +91-8511112640 called me up and introduced me as the lawyer on behalf of the company, and started explaining the process of such cases. She informed me that there could be multiple reasons for which my Login has been blocked and all that has been mentioned in the Legal Agreement that I have already signed up. My alleged crime was defined (in an email sent by them) under the following boundaries:
Reason 1: – You might have used 2 Systems like 2 COMPUTER, 2 LAPTOPS,or mobile phone which define as double/multiple system login as also double/multiple ip address and due to which server load was increased and resulted into the software crash.
Reason 2: – You might have not done proper LOGIN AND LOGOUT while working on company’s software because the necessity is, after each LOGIN there should be a LOGOUT but it was not properly done from your side due to which the server detected miscellaneous and server was blocked. This point was restricted to be done in the stamp paper agreement held between you and the company As well as on call verification.
Reason 3: – You might have used different IP Address(consider as system IP if system change, location ip if location change,internet IP if internet change in internet IP ) Internet companies or If you have any kind of internet issue or location issue or electricity issued also cause IP problem ,You might have used Different location (count of 1 room to another also) an double or multiple I.P Addresses have been found which was strictly prohibited in the rules of stamp paper agreement held between you and the company as well as at the time of verification call.
Reason 4 – You might have not done your work on time or else you have drop in between or incase after signing, you not start your work due to any kind of reason(Health issue,medical issue,major pandemic or any kind of issue as per agreement is is said incomplete submission also you have to take care on daily basis work of minimum 20 -30 forms has been required to the company because server cannot be empty for your id after signing as mentioned in the agreement and verification call to you.
Reason 5 :- You might have used Third Party Application to complete company’s work without hard work OR You might have used Third Party Software to destroy or affect company’s database through Malware Virus.
Upon a critical analysis, of the detail provided in that email, I could clearly see that there was no mistake made by me as alleged by them. Also, I was sure about this because I ONLY used my Mobile Hotspot to connect to the internet and to work on my Dell Laptop that I have at my home, so having logged in from different IP Address was just impossible. There was no other option available for me and I never tried any multiple Login or login from a different location etc. as they had been claiming.
But this lady (Chaitali Bhatt) made me so fearful by talking all the jargons of a lawyer that I was petrified and then she also warned me that I shall be booked under various sections of IT Act, IPC Section 420, Contract Act etc. She literally threatened me up and told me to beware of the dire consequences if I did not pay the penalty to the company for committing this so called (alleged) Cyber CRIME (of a sort). A gist of the email that I received from them is as under:

Being a simple person and being spiritual in nature, I was really scared of the conversation and by this time I had decided to pay the penalty because I had convinced myself that there might be some technical point which is beyond my understanding and let us give the benefit-of-doubt to them, as they will anyways refund the money back while making my payments (as committed by them). They shot me an email for accepting my mistakes and that I am willing to wait till the remuneration is released and that I will be accepting my refund when my remuneration is processed. Being helpless and stuck under these circumstances, I finally paid the money through a Google Pay link and the QR Code that she had shared with me on WhatsApp.
Thereafter I replied to their email by saying “I Agree”. Then they re-activated my login within no time. I started working again and just another day once again my Login was blocked in the similar way. Once again, they started the same story and they wanted me to deposit another set of penalties. This is when I got skeptical and suspicious about their modus operandi.
Ever since then I have not received any calls from them but then they have been successful in cheating me once for INR 10,509/-. Since I had become suspicious already, I started searching and enquiring about this organization on the internet and there I found a similarly identical case which some Harpreet has filed online at this portal. The agreement which has been uploaded by Harpreet is also same as that of mine. So much so, the same morphing has been done as that in mine. To my utter surprise I realized that even the stamp paper serial number in both cases are same. Now this leaves no scope of confusion or lack of clarity before concluding that this is an organized cybercrime. They have been intentionally duping and cheating innocent people – first by trapping them and then by threatening them to fight legal cases at Jamnagar Court.

I humbly request the Hon’ble Court to track down the people responsible for this and to severely punish them by putting them behind the bars at the first instance. If such people are overlooked for any reasons, they are bound to cheat more and more people in the times to come.
