Alerting people about fake online job racket that dupes unemployed youths using a popular beverage company's name, the Mumbai Police on Thursday issued an advisory asking people to be aware of fraudsters, who randomly send emails offering placement in the firm using its logo.
According to a report in Hindustan Times, Mumbai resident Ayub Syed recently deposited money into a bank account after he received an email from the racket stating that he was one of the few selected for a job with the firm. "They informed me that I have to undergo training in Delhi and would soon be receiving flight tickets. To complete the process, I was asked to deposit a refundable amount of Rs 8,730,” Syed said.
