I received a call by Ramu (I can comfortably deduce that they use fake names) indicating that my profile has been viewed and that 9 companies would like my confirmation to receive my resume. Given that they are the ones forwarding my resume they require a “nominal” fee of 250 USD. He swore up and down that the employers are just waiting for their confirmation and fee reception to proceed with the interviews, to “trust” him, and that there would be no fraud or regrets in this application and ensured 100% legitimacy. I asked him to give me some time and he kept calling back stipulating urgency to close the deal otherwise I’d miss the opportunity of a lifetime.
250 USD and 2 months later, No calls, no interviews, no response by email or otherwise and not Ramu has disappeared from the face of the earth.
If you receive a call from Hyderabad do not answer! These people take advantage of the position we are in and responding to them or even giving them any heed is only digging yourself a deeper hole.
This website should be shut down, people should be made aware that there is no good to come from an organization that gains it foothold in scamming and robbing people. What else are they doing with our information?!
I had a similar experience, promising 8 roles with different employers and interviews waiting etc and was asked for $750.00. Declined to pay up front and advised It was unusal that the potential applicant would be asked for money but rather the recruiting company shouldh be charged the fee. Response was It was a different market and thats how it was done, had they actually read the CV they would of realiized I had years of experience in the Middle East. I suggested after I was interviewed and obtaied an offer I would pay… Instant 50% discount, but pay now. Its a BIG SCAM…………. avoid it
