Scamsters always look for weak targets to trap and defraud them. Job seekers as a community, suffers from eagerness to land a better job with better pay.
It’s a very large community to boot with lakhs of people on the look out, every day, to switch jobs.
Fake recruiters are having a ball right now, dangling plump offers and hooking hundreds!Its most unfortunate that people
who apply for jobs expecting a larger bank balance, find their hard earned savings diminished, instead.
Last 3 months have seen hectic activity in the cyberspace by so called companies “GCI Enterprises” and “Sansui Technologies”.
While “GCI Enterprises” is most likely a newly coined name, fraudsters behind “Sansui Technologies” are impersonating the electronics company Sansui.
The Modus Operandi is similar. Send out mass mails asking recipient to apply for job with fancy salaries.
Once you reply, you will get response that you have bean selected and need to attend for interview and
a certain fee is to be transferred to designated company account.
There are phone numbers to call and people to answer. But if smart guys ask probing questions,
like where the office address is and whether a relative can come and handover cheque, the call will be disconnected.
There are no jobs for troublesome guys here! You may wonder whether there could be people in reality, to fall for this type of scams.
How could any one get job offer without applying? And why should anyone pay charges to attend interview? Well..
these are valid, legitimate questions but raised with the knowledge of the background….that of fraud.
However, a small percentage of people who are unaware of the fraud, could consider the offers as genuine.
The concept behind the scam is that people whose profile do not match the job offered will consider the mail as a matter of mistaken identity and ignore. Those who match the profile would ALSO consider the mail as a matter of mistaken identity but could proceed, internally happy, that the offers have landed in their lap, instead of the persons to whom they were actually intended! Damn lucky! Its very easy in India to cheat. Open a bank account in some company name with forged papers. Receive payments for 2 or 3 months and then vanish. Considering the mass-market reach, “Sansui Technologies” must be easily getting at least 10 transfers per day. That is a cool Rs.18 Lakhs revenue per month, for the crooks, while cyber cell and other policing departments turn a blind eye to complaints. These “companies” also brazenly publish news paper ads, which shows how easy its to get away with crime, in India. Incidentally, we may also feel that the Lottery Jackpot mails rarely find victims. Read the story of Ms. Preeti Bala who transferred Rs.18500 and was on the verge of transferring Rs.48,350 more….
