[Resolved]  Britannia Industries — Online job fraud

Hello,
15days before, I got an advertisement regarding job offer at britannia company. I made a call at that number and she provided me another number and asked to send my CV on same number . She said that she's Mahi Sharma.She checked my CV and said that you are selected for the post of supervisor, but you have to pay₹470 as courier charge .The courier charge will contain appointment letter and required laptop, pendrive etc.She told me that courier charge will be refunded on joining date.She sent me Phonepe QR code and I paid .After 2days she send an appointment letter on WhatsApp and asked ₹1500 as security deposit for laptops and smartphone after which they will send the courier.She again said that security money will also be refunded on joining date.I refused to pay ₹1500, saying that she didn't inform about it earlier.They then, cancellation my appointment letter but Mahi said that courier charge will be refunded on joining date (i.e.16feb, 2022) .on 16feb, she made an excuse that she forgot, next day she told to wait till Monday.And today, she asked me to pay ₹400 cancellation charge, then they will refund both money together.Now, she is not attending my calls nor replying to my messages. I'm sure it's a huge scam. I want britannia to take some serious actions against them to stop this right now and also i want my money back as soon as possible.

Resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Britannia Industries Customer Care's response
Dear Sir/Madam,

This is a fake offer.

Thanks for informing us of this matter. Of late, it has come to our notice that some unscrupulous agencies are alluring job aspirants with employment opportunities with Britannia Industries Private Limited/its associate/group companies and extracting money as a security deposit, documentation processing fees, or training fees.

We would like to inform everyone that Britannia does not require applicants to pay any amount of money in any form or for any purpose, at any stage of its recruitment and selection process.

Today, I got a message saying my CV is selected for a supervisor job at Britannia. They provided a number to call and I did. Then a woman answered and she gave me her whatsapp number. There she asked me to send her my Resume, ID card and a passport photo and I did. After few mins she said I was selected for the post. She also said work from home option is also available if I'm interested and for that, she said the company (Britannia) will send a laptop, a hard copy of the joining letter, software CD, a company ID card through courier. And for that she said I have to pay an amount of Rs.470 which she said will be refunded on the joining day. Familiar right? I know. Same case as stated by @Ambitious25. Luckily I didn't lose any money as I decided to do some research first. Then came across this. This cannot continue. I want necessary actions to be taken by the official company. Thank you.

Same here with me. But I didn't give the amount of Rs. 470/-
Her name is Surbhi[protected]. Please track her and take necessary action.
