TECH LINE SOLUTION Complaints & Reviews

By: Jacqueline

Sir,
I was looking out for a home-based job and based on a post on Face book for the requirement of transcriptionists for Business Transcription projects, I called Azhar Khan at his number at 09335999259. I was given trial files for 2 days for which he said he would not pay me the full rate and would pay only half rate. The rates are as follows:
TAT: 72 hours and above @ INR 13 per minute.
TAT: 48 hours @ INR 18 per minute.
TAT 24 hours @ INR 23 per minute.
Further, four or five days into the work, I found that I ended up transcribing more lines for these BT projects and asked him whether he could consider increasing the rate, he said that they could offer was
Rs. 25 as maximum from Rs. 23 and after a few days, when I had checked with him, he said that he did not accept for Rs. 25 even though I copied his message again to him as evidence. He said it was his mistake and sternly decided on the rate as Rs. 23. I also informed him that I would not be able to continue as the rates were not lucrative; however, I would keep him informed and clearly told him that I will continue till the month end, but unsure of whether I would be able to continue for the next month. On 5th June 2018, when he gave me an audio for transcription, I informed him that I would end up getting paid very less per line and informed him that I would not be able to continue, I just wanted to end with the month of May 2018 alone and did not want to continue working for the month of June 2018 as requested by me.
After that, he re-assigned the job to someone else, which he refused and asked me to do the file, otherwise I would not be paid for all the jobs done by me for the month of May 2018. Fearing of losing of payment for all the efforts I had put in throughout the month of May 2018, that I had agreed to process the job of 50 mins and asked that he will be pay me for all jobs including the month of June 2018 work along with the month of May 2018 work done by me. So that I can raise a single invoice and did not want the payment to get delayed, he was not in acceptance and said that for this single job of the month of June 2018, I would be paid only on 15th July 2018 and insisted that I have completed the job and it would be a timely payment. But no reply was given by your side till date.
All along, he was saying that I would get a TIMELY PAYMENT, which was one of the reasons I continued to work, in fact I delivered the job done in the month of June 2018 well on time and requested that the payment be done without any delay on 15th or 16th May 2018 as per agreement. I was waited till 20th May 2018 believing that it would be credited sooner or later, but then on 21st May, I called Azhar again and spoke to him, he said that he needs the job details to map it out and asked me to send those details, I sent this immediately and 3 days later, I called him twice, once when I asked him as to whether the fund transfer had been made, he said, “yes,” and then one more time he picked up the call, and when he heard my voice, he just hung up the call and from then on, it seems like my number had been blocked and even they are not to be found online on Skype through which they usually transfer jobs, it was happened not only on me and they are getting the work done from many people and cheating lot of peoples all over INDIA, cheating them by not paying to all about hundreds of people.
Further, I tried from another number and my landline number too, he picked up once and also has blocked those numbers. Now, I am not able to get hold of them either through Skype or over phone.
Details of work done:
May – 352 minutes
June – 50 minutes
Total Minutes – 402 minutes
Rate agreed upon: Rs. 23 per minute
Amount: Rs. 9,246/- (Rupees nine thousand two hundred and forty six only) payable by you.
I have never been dealt like this all along in my profession and this is just totally unethical. I have put in a lot of hard work to deliver quality work in spite of the rate already being less and the work so taxing, I just wanted to wind up in a pleasant way and expected professionalism, but this person seems to be fraudulent. Please do the needful, he should never repeat this to someone else.

Thanks.
