There is a very serious issue that has come up. Can we all join hands together and try to sort out the issue? Someone is trying to make money by taking money from the candidates, stating that you need to pay some amount which is refundable for the interview process. This is done using names of very prestigious companies like L&T and Tata Motors.
I too got such mails and SMS. Initially, I just rejected it, but now it's becoming frequent. I got alarmed about this and called both the companies to check the genuineness of the same. They said it's fake, and they have requested our help in this matter. I seek your suggestions and help in this matter to nab the culprit so that innocent people don't fall into the trap. I look forward to your generous support.

The only way out is common sense. No reputed company will ask you to deposit money for airfare/train fare to attend interviews. That itself is a giveaway. Secondly, the standard of English in these offer letters leaves much to be desired.
When you receive such offer letters for jobs you never applied for, it is time to use the delete button and move on. When the majority of people disregard such silly offer letters, the con artists will find new ways to cheat. Do not be a victim.

Please follow one simple rule: do not open emails or respond if you open them that you never expected. For example, interview calls, notifications of winning prizes or lottery tickets, free holiday for 2 or 4, etc. There are also emails floating around seeking help to transfer money from one country to another with an offer to give 10 to 20% commission. Many people have lost a fortune chasing such offers.

Mr Simhan,
It just beats me to see how people fall for such obvious traps.
First the English is atrocious.
Tata or L&T will not use such ungrammatical and poor English in their letters/communications.
Big companies like this never send unsolicited job offers.
Most important giveaway is the fact that they are asking for ""Refundable"" deposits.
Pay is way above market standards.
Earlier such ads used to ask for Rs8500 now with increase in airfare etc they have started asking for Rs15200.
The con tricks which are common are reflective of the times we are in.
Time and again big companies give warnings about such scam offers.
Other favourite companies offering such jobs are Hyundai,Maruti.
If one can fall for such offers,then no one can help you from being conned.Just read this:

My advice for what ever it is worth to job seekers:
The consequences of falling prey to scammers, may include identity theft, the loss of your hard earned money, and illegal charges to your credit card. It can be a very tough lesson to bear, and devastating for cash strapped job seekers. Don’t learn things the hard way. Avoid falling prey to unscrupulous scammers, do your homework and checks very carefully.

Dear Nathrao,
This business of scamming is worldwide. I am drawing the readers' attention to an article in The Daily Telegraph, UK. Please read and digest the contents at 10 scams to watch out for in 2014 - Telegraph. I am sure if we search the web, we will find more such examples.

As Simhan says, the business of scamming is worldwide.
One of the biggest frauds being perpetrated on the world for the last few years comes from India. Call centers in India are telephoning people all over the world to tell them their computer is infected with a virus. They claim to be from "Windows Technical Support." There is no such organization. They are careful not to mention Microsoft these days.
They try to trick you into giving them remote access to your computer and, of course, download malware. Then, they charge you to solve the problem.
If you search YouTube, there are dozens of videos of people around the world playing along with these scammers and wasting their time. Some of the videos are hilariously funny.

Also coming from India is another scam being inflicted on Australians regarding solar energy rebates that no longer exist here. Sadly, I have suspicions that there is a CiteHR member who might be involved with this scam.

Aussie John,
This is an open forum; all become members, and it is quite possible that some try in their ways to earn extra. We have posts that offer high amounts for simple copy-paste, loans being offered, people ready to do projects for you on payment, so that students can get higher project marks. All this is human nature. If there is a member of the forum involved, he must be exposed.

Hello Nathrao,
Regarding your line "It just beats me to see how people fall for such obvious traps," the only reason would be GREED... be it monetary, position, brand label of the company, etc. They just can't resist something that comes for either free or with a lower cost.
And just a quote about common sense that you mentioned: "Common sense is that sense that is not so common."
So you have the answers why people fall for such tricks... and some repeatedly so even after getting hit earlier [maybe something of a gambling psychology at work here].
@ John --
What makes you say "I have suspicions that there is a CiteHR member who might be involved with this scam"?
Also, I guess India isn't the only place where such scamsters exist... USA, Russia & Europe are full of them -- except that the modus operandi and the scale differ.

Dear AussieJohn,
Remember that almost all of the call centers in India are run by foreign ventures, including some Australian companies. The possibility cannot be denied that this fraudulent case could have also been 'outsourced' here from an overseas company, as the first choice to fake authenticity.
Anyway, I would say the words "biggest frauds being perpetrated on the world" to describe this venture may be a little exaggerated in itself. But as a CiteHR member yourself, I think you can understand that the sentence "Sadly, I have suspicions that there is a CiteHR member who might be involved with this scam." can be unnecessarily invoking anxiety amongst all members.
I hope you have indicated your suspicions by other proper means like voting to remove posts, indicating the suspicions to the admin, etc.
Best Regards,
Amod Bobade
