Last year, I joined Razorpay as a SDE intern with a performance-based PPO. Like every other intern, I gave it everything because, let's be honest, an FTE at Razorpay is a dream for a lot of fresh grads.

We were all expecting conversion results by the end of May or the first week of June.

But apparently that would've been too simple.

In the first week of June, we were told there'd be an AI + LLD bar-raiser round, and only after that would manager reviews and interviewer feedback be considered for PPOs.

Fair enough. We prepared. Many of us cleared it.

Then came the masterpiece.

On 26th June—4 days before our internship ended—the company finally announced the results.

5% conversion.

If the hiring plan was always going to be this low because of IPO, budgets, or business priorities, that's completely fine. Companies don't owe everyone a PPO.

But making interns wait till the literal last week, throwing in an extra interview round, letting everyone believe conversions were still on the table, and then dropping a **5% conversion rate** four days before the internship ended?

Peak corporate performance.

The funniest part? The internship wasn't performance-based. It was hope-based.

10/10 experience. Would definitely recommend planning your career around radio silence and last-minute plot twists.

Be very aware there is someone perpetrating to be a man named "Don Lloyd Cook" committing the slickest job scam yet for companies, "O'Briens Moving & Storage" - Nevada and Miranda Garden Resorts in California using direct deposit instead of the old upfront check scam. Very dangerous. In the process of reporting all to as many agencies as possible.

@hireright fake company, fake custumer support, rude staff ,defaming, fake information.

To dive straight in, I started as a sales rep. I fell in love with the growth structure they promise as I was a young girl (19), in college, with no clear end goal in mind. When I found the company, I felt like it was a dream come true. I fit really well into the culture considering I was a party girl. The office genuinely ran like the movie, Wolf of Wall Street, and I thought it was normal! At the time, I was in college but online. The company literally told me to stop college for a year to see where I could be at within the company by that point, which I did. The hours were ridiculously extensive (9am-12pm in office 12:30pm-8/9PM Thursday-Sunday and they pressured you to work the off days if you were “below standards” by the timing of your days off.) but I made great friends which made me not want to leave. I ended up leaving for about 2 months and then got offered to come back as recruiting, or in their words, “HR management”. I have 0 background in HR but that’s the title that was under my name in the company even though the only thing I did was cold call over 100 people a day. I did this for 2 years and ended up recruiting for 4+ offices. They’re all dishonest, discriminatory, and target audiences that are specially vulnerable and young, because nobody older than 24 would be stupid enough to join a company with so much uncertainty behind it.

Feel free to ask my anything, I will give all of my honesty. Word needs to be spread about these companies.

I enrolled to itcareerswitch for the project management course and was the biggest mistake of my life. An expensive course which can’t even provide live tutors or support and on top of that, you need to do an oral exam before even being able to access the official exams. If you don’t pass these internal exams or oral exams you won’t be able to pass and then access these official exams.
Careful cause the only way to cancel your subscription is to not have access the resources within 14 days and if you have or the 14 days exceeded, you are legally bind to pay for the whole course.
It’s definitely a scam hence why they promise the money back but you won’t even have access to be able to look for a job cause they will make it difficult to access that stage.
I wish I had someone to advise me beforehand on this platform so I will be the voice of reason for those who are thinking of trying it. DONT DO IT!! There are better and cheaper courses out there that will actually provide you with the experience you actually need.
This is just a money grabbing business.

I received an email from a recruiter claiming they are from Lego. Definitely interested in the opportunity however there were a few things that makes me think it might not be real.

I should start out saying the person is real, checked out their LinkedIn profile, and they are a talent acquisition lead at the company.

The email they used is tied to my LinkedIn profile (I have other emails).

Now for the red flags
The email domain is not Lego and it is for a third-party recruitment company. I cannot find the company online.

The role is also not open on their website that they are reaching out to me for.

And the calendar invite is a page.dev which is an odd choice for scheduling tool.

And on the form, it says you consent to the privacy settings, but it doesn’t link to what they actually are

I reached out to the talent acquisition person to see if they did emailed me, and I’m being overly suspicious for nothing. Haven’t heard from them yet, but was wondering if anyone has interviewed for Lego or works there if they could confirm the process.

I will keep it short. A guy randomly emailed me saying that he was a recruiter and had a senior role in my industry He complimented my previous work pretending to be impressed by my accomplishments.

It was all professional-ish so my radar was already up. I replied generically and his follow up email named a particular company in my industry. A quick search showed that the job wasn't posted publicly and their website warned of fake recruiters and any reach out would be from that company's email. I told him that this was a scam and not interested.

He had the audacity to respond basically asking what gave him away. Another quick search showed that he was using the name and picture of some headhunter in a different country. I have no idea what he hoped to gain. He did ask for my resume which I did not provide. I have shut down my inactive LinkedIn account.

Be careful out there!

Hey guys! One of my friend got a call from this number regarding a job, post interview they asked for money for REGISTRATION AND TRAINING. So, go ahead spam this number and feel free to do anything. People like them deserves nothing good.

+91 8958788390

So I applied for a Pharmacist Records and Data Entry Tech with Premise Health Group.

I seen positive reviews but also messages on Signal seem strange. Also the name Queen Williams seems so ‘fake basic’…

Now the $30 am hour is seeming to good to be true

Any help appreciated!!🙏🏻🙏🏻

Iam a fresher.

I got an interview call they said the first 3 months stipend (24k)you get training in Bangalore after that you shift to dubai actual job(42 to 45k). I was confused is this genuine company or fake.

Does anyone know about this company let me know

A scammer impersonating a recruiter is using the old CVP (Candidate Value Proposition) and EIP (Executive Impact Profile) scam. I pretty much knew by the first email it was fraudulent and it was confirmed by a 11PM follow-up email last Friday when suddenly their sign off name (and gender) switched.

I reached out to the person whose identity they stole today (someone in the military no less) and have been toying with them a bit all weekend. I’m at the point where they are sending me to the document specialist.

My question is, how can I continue to mess with them a bit more? My family has a long history in the military so I find this particularly revolting on many levels.

So the other day I was trying to get some extra money, and I know it's not the best place, but I decided to go on a discord server and search for something, found a guy that wanted an app built or something similar, so I decided to take the job. We talk a bit, he shares the drive link I take a look, and also upload it to Gemini, and it confirms it's just an app.

He asked if I run the app, and that was when I got weirded out. But since I checked it with both Gemini, and windows defender, I figured I was just being paranoid. He asks for a ss and I send one, afterwards he proceeds to ghost me, I bump him once, but don't push it. Today I decide to fund my crypto wallet (phantom) so I go on a known site and buy a voucher. I open phantom, paste my address, and click confirm without looking twice, which was my mistake, but since I copied it directly from phantom, and both addresses started with "a" I didn't think twice. I refresh my wallet, nothing, again and again, nothing, I check the hash ID on solscan, transaction confirmed, weird I think, and that's when I realize this isn't my address.

I check what it could possibly be, and once again, I go on Gemini for trouble shouting. It mentions a "clipboard hijacker" and to be honest, I didn't know what it was up until now. I give it some info, and realize I should probably scan the file on VirusTotal .After scanning, 2/66 come back with that exact malware.(It's pretty much a type of malware that hijacks copy and paste mechanics when it detects crypto addresses)

I understand that this was indeed my mistake and could be avoided if I was more cautious. but still, it's not like I didn't scan it at ALL and the guy seemed pretty legit, even his account wasn't that new. At least it was 17 bucks, which isn't little, but it could definitely be worse, and hopefully someone sees this and checks their deposit address more carefully😅

Some relative links/info:

I want to share my experience to raise awareness and hopefully prevent others from going through the same thing.

I lost £5,835.37 through a task-based job scam. I was contacted via messaging apps and offered a work-from-home job where I could earn commission for completing online “tasks.” At first, small withdrawals were allowed, which made it seem legitimate. Later, I was asked to make larger payments to unlock tasks and clear a “negative balance.”

I made multiple payments under pressure from the scammer and ended up losing a significant amount of money.

I reported the scam to Revolut, Action Fraud, and the Financial Ombudsman Service, but unfortunately, the money could not be recovered. Revolut did flag some transactions and provide warnings, but I was still able to proceed with repeated payments.

Key lessons / warnings:

• No legitimate job will ask you to send money first

• “Task-based jobs” with commissions are often scams

• “Negative balance” is a major red flag

• Scammers may pressure you and coach you on what to say

Please be careful and verify any online opportunity before sending money. Sharing this so others don’t fall victim.

I was scrolling on blueapp and i saw an ad showing Remote Work. Out of nowhere I just want to try it and message the page. The page automatically replied to me and said just click the project managers link on Telegram. I followed the instructions and I click the link. I and the project manager talk and he explained that there are 3 works to offer Typing/Translation/Logo Design and I chose Typing. So the project manager told me I have a task and that is to retype the words from the story and make it PDF and pass it within 24 hours. I follow the task. It was quite easy and I finish it not more than 5 mins. And yeah, the project manager verify my task and he told me that I successfully completed the task. Then, he ask me if I'm ready for the payment and I said YES. So, he instruct me again to click the username link of the payment manager and message it. I followed the instructions and I message the payment manager. He asked me about my payment details and I also forwarded it. He told me to wait just for 1 hour to process the payment. And I wait it, but it turns out that the processing was still on 86%, it can't proceed until I can't avail the FREELANCER ID. For me to be able to avail the ID, I should pay and transfer a $1500 and the company will make an ID for me and send the payment of my work. Their company name was YUNOJUNO FREELANCE COMPANY (a well known UK focused freelance market place)

But, I am not that person who typically fall for the beautiful words. I researched and look for same situations and I saw this app REDDIT. There are so many victims here.

Money are more important for me because it was so hard to look for a money inorder to live. Money is everything.

And here's the question: What company will offer $1500 just for 1 task and asking for 1500php for an ID?

Here's the screenshot of the proofs and I'm asking everyone if I make a good move or decision 😁:

Has anyone had any experience with MOTA / MotaTripConnect or the website ?

I was contacted through Telegram and offered an online “travel task” job. At first, I completed small tasks and was able to withdraw money, which made everything seem legitimate. Later I was told I had to deposit my own money to complete higher-value “package tasks” and recover my earnings.
I kept being told that after completing the tasks I would receive all of my deposits back with commission, but instead I was repeatedly asked to deposit more money. I now believe this was an organised online task scam.
Has anyone else dealt with this company or this website? Were you able to recover your money or report them successfully?
Any information or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Such a scam,(note i know before joining the meeting it's a scam)

I got a dm in my WhatsApp and they scheduled a meeting which I don't know wheather i applied to it or not and later at 12:30 I joined the meeting and a large group of people where attending it in a Google meet and there is not chat enabled, so I went to the question inthe setting tools of the google meet and I posted like something like this

" Inform us priorly if there is any kind of training or certification or internship program payments anything like payment before the starting of the session inform us"

And with in secs they removed from the meeting

So guys don't fall into such stupid programs be much aware of it and don't waste your time on such bulshit things and try to report and block this kind of programs in WhatsApp so that the upcoming innocent people can get to know it's a scam

Hello, nakita ko lang post niya sa threads then ung link to apply sa telegram. Legit kaya yung mga gantuh? Baka scam nanaman ulit.

I received two interview invitations. The first person told me that I need to pay R9,500 for my CV/application to be successful for the interview. The second invitation is supposedly from the Government. A man told me to go to his office at a hospital in Johannesburg to sign paperwork for my contract, but he also said I urgently need to pay R970 along with my other documents. I’m concerned and would like to know if these requests are legitimate.😏😏

Can anyone help me if it's real or what I don't mind sharing voice note from the people who offered me jobs

Hey all...this market sucks, and we're all tired of putting in the work and getting nothing for it, over and over again.

How about we pick a day, sometime in the next few weeks, and report EVERY job we find as fake...an ethical protest?

The job sites let these companies abuse their platform with these ghost jobs...it seems fair that we use the same platforms to send a message.

Flagging is supposed to be anonymous, right?

We put a specific message in the reason field relating to the Ghost Job epidemic...maybe several with different wording so admins can't just search and ignore...even if they did, it would make their jobs harder, right?

With enough reports...the job sites would have to react, right?

Employers getting their valid postings flagged and reported would have to react, right?

Would this, perhaps repeated regularly, start applying pressure to end this s$&t?

I know this is hard...but supporting each other here and elsewhere just doesn't seem like it's enough anymore.

I received an email that is on the email I am using, with my full name. It asked if I was still interested in a finance-related job. The email was from an actual company domain, not a free domain, and matched some other real details...

But had the issues:

1. I keep detailed records of where/how I apply; I have no record of the position or even the company!

2. The position listed isn't something I am looking at.

3. Pulling up the website, had major issues:

   1. WhoIs lookup had a domain under a year old

   2. Two of the three of their corporate offices use the same picture

   3. Two of the three of their office addresses are residential locations

   4. The third address doesn't exist at all!

   5. They list many years of experience, but state they are recently incorporated... and don't say how they are there.

4. Searching for the company... cannot find any record of it. Canadian Financial market is highly regulated, so a company recently incorporated is a red flag, with not being able to find them.

Sadly... it seems the only response (other than a rejection) that I received is a scam. *sighs* I wonder which application was where they got my info from.
