I was looking for a job change. Today I got a message from “Tata Group of Companies Ltd” stating that my cv has been shortlisted for an interview process. For more details click on the link below. After clicking on the list, it redirected me to Tata job portal stating my current selection procedure and in that application form it was mentioned that to know whether the job is not applied by bogus candidates I need to deposit a sum of “rs 7799 plus 18% Gst” as a refundable deposit at the time of the final interview day. A fake contact person name which goes by “Dr Kxxxxxl Kxxxxxi” as a recruiting manager was mentioned in the form bearing his ph number as “7xxxxxx3”. I gave a call to this number post which this fraud person took the call and said I need to deposit the above mentioned amount in favor of “Tata Group of Companies Ltd” and the account number was “90xxxxxx8”, beneficiary name as “Tata Group of Companies Ltd” and ifsc code “KARB0000335” which is of “Karnataka Bank”. I could not suspect that it is a fraud call because the account beneficiary said “Tata Group of Companies Ltd”. Moreover, while I was on call with this dummy person, he seemed to be well spoken. Before that when I called the number an IVR recording stating“Welcome to Tata Group of Companies Ltd, please wait” and this dummy person picked up the call. Due to these reasons, I could not understand at all that everything was fake.
Now, I deposited rs 7799to this account number from my net banking and the I called this dummy person. I told him that the transaction is done and what is the next step I need to follow. He said that since I missed out the 18% gst amount I need to make another transfer a total of rs 9203 as a fresh transaction as it is a company account it won’t identify an incomplete transaction. Then I asked that what about my 7799 amount. I will deposit rest rs 1404 amount but he said that I need to transfer it full as I stated earlier. He said once I confirm an another transfer of rs 9203, he will arrange this rs 7799 back to my account as a refund. I believed him and transferred another RS 9203. Post this after I called him the first two rings went unanswered and then the number got switched off. Then I realised that I got tricked and was taken aback. Later on when I searched for this IFSC code in google, it gave the information that this bank is “Karnataka Bank” and the branch belonged to somewhere in Haridwar, Uttarakhand”. Please help me as I have lost a huge amount. Please help me recover this money. The supporting of everything I have attached in this complaint form as soft copies
