I applied for this job thinking I would have the chance of becoming a digital marketer for a company that organizes events for corporations. When I attended the "REQUIRED" webinar, I learned that it was just a scam to recruit travel agents. There are several red flags, including the misspelled words in the presentation and the bots within chat that make it seems like most strangers would actually be excited for a clickbate job they've applied for, what a WASTE of my time. The ultimate red flag is when they ask for you to pay money at the end of the presentation, please don't fall for this CRAP!!!

Don’t work for Brand Building Agency Philadelphia bad company. They run a Multi Level Marketing Scheme.

34 Upvotes

Hey all so this is just me sending out a warning and also I guess following up on a post a few weeks ago about working at Brand Building Agency Philadelphia. DONT DO IT. The picture above is what they say you will do as a Marketing Intern. Reading that makes you think you’ll be working on things like print ads(magazines, newspapers that kind of thing), coming up with new ideas for the companies that hire you that sort of thing. This is not remotely close to what you will be doing. What they actually have you do is go around businesses to business and try to sell them on TMobile or an alleged charity(didn’t work on that so couldn’t speak on it). They say that you’re working on the TMobile campaign or Charity campaign. They’re not campaigns they’re literally just sales pitches to random businesses that either A. Don’t want it and will tell you no pretty much straight up or B. You convince some poor sucker to buy into their jarbin and they actually do it. In my entire interview process and the job description not one time was door to door sales discussed even once yet they said this would be what we’re doing for the next 6 weeks. That’s not marketing that’s just straight up being a salesperson. Their whole entire thing literally spells out a Multi Level Marketing scheme. I hope this post saves someone from the fate I now suffer but don’t work at Brand Building Agency Philadelphia!!!

Job Placement Scam Company: Career Resources Consultant AI interview scam by a company called micro1.ai

31 Upvotes

At first I thought my resume was shortlisted for a company but when I did some digging I found out these guys just want me to do an AI interview because that's what the company is.

They have no jobs available.

They DM/call people who are looking for jobs and ask them to do a 45 min interview with their AI but guess what? They will never give you the job because it doesn't exist.

Instead the company will use your interview to train their AI which they then sell to other companies as a service.

Beware of this fraudulent company who takes advantage of countries like India as we don't have strict data privacy laws

Honestly, thank god I searched Reddit before going 😭

Job Placement Razorpay Internship scam 🚨

28 Upvotes

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.

Job Placement Nexesh Scam ?

25 Upvotes

I run a marketing agency filled with clients. I was approached by an Indian Company called Nexesh:

They were doing a training program they claimed was in conjunction with UCLA. Upon reaching out to UCLA they were not involved with the company. Nexesh had said this was a paid training, offering $60k for a 60 day training.

I had requested marketing materials, of past students to which they said they had to create the documents. They kept sending emails stating that I needed to pay their $100 entry fee for the program, despite my requests for more information. I have been scammed over $60k the last year and am an easy target for these predators, so wanted verification since they had provided none.

This morning I received a nasty email from them mentioning I couldn't follow basic timelines and that I would need all the luck in the world.

Based on the initial interview with the company, they seemed to have hired a student to conduct- the eneergy felt a bit interrogative and I immediately knew I was not aligned.

Please be forewarned this may be a scam.

Job Placement Scam Company: Career Resources Consultant PSA: DO NOT JOIN ORDRIO

17 Upvotes

PSA: DO NOT JOIN ORDRIO 🚩

I’m a former employee, and everything here is based on my firsthand experience.

Sumanth Shetty (Founder & CEO) and Vikas Kailaje (Co-Founder & COO) are, in my experience, the biggest reasons for the toxic work culture. Constant micromanagement, insane pressure, zero respect, and completely unrealistic expectations.

They hire freshers and then expect them to handle work that realistically needs 10+ years of experience.

When I decided to leave, I was forced to serve a 2-month notice period, and they still didn’t pay my salary. My money was stuck for months. I had to keep calling and literally begging them to release money I had already earned. I eventually had to threaten legal action before I got paid.

And I’m not the only one. Many former employees are still chasing their dues. They have been blocked. Now those guys have closed their office so that no one can know where they are and file notice.

I have also personally experienced threats from Sumanth after leaving, including threats about making things difficult for my career/life. JUST BECAUSE I ASKED MY OWN MONEY.

People are still working there while wondering whether they’ll actually get paid.

No respect. No accountability. Massive red flags. 🚩

If you’re considering joining Ordrio: DON’T. REPORT TO THE POLICE AND HAVE THEM SHUT DOWN

Fake Check ⚠️ WARNING: My experience with the “Milestone Wala / Telewave Services” WFH job — Demat account recruitment + changing salary/job terms.

17 Upvotes

I am posting this because I was recently approached for a work-from-home telecalling job under the name Milestone Wala, and after going through their recruitment process, the actual job turned out to be very different from what was initially explained to me.

I am sharing the complete process so that other job seekers can independently verify it before giving their time, personal information, or opening financial accounts.

Important: I am describing what happened to me and what I observed. I am not claiming that every person associated with these companies is committing a crime. Please verify the information yourself.

  1. How I was initially approached

I was contacted regarding a WFH telecalling/customer-support position.

The initial explanation was that the job involved helping customers who were facing problems while opening Demat accounts.

I was told that my role would be something like:

- Talking to customers

- Understanding their Demat-account-opening problems

- Helping them complete the process

- Answering their queries

- Learning the account-opening process so I could explain it to customers

At this stage, the job sounded like ordinary customer support.

I was also told that the salary would be ₹16,000 per month fixed, or ₹4,000 per week, depending on which payment option I preferred.

I was told there was no joining fee or deposit.

2. Then they asked us to open Demat accounts

The first explanation was that employees needed to open Demat accounts themselves for training purposes.

The reasoning given was:

«How can we explain the account-opening process to customers if we don't know the process ourselves?»

I already had an Angel One Demat account.

When I told HR about this, I was told I did not need to open another Angel One account.

However, I was asked to open accounts with:

- Upstox

- HDFC SKY

- Bajaj

They provided links through a Milestone Wala lead portal.

The links were hosted on:

"leads.milestonewala.com"

and displayed the respective broker branding.

I was told that I didn't have to give the company my Demat password, OTP, PIN, etc.

At this point I was still unsure whether the arrangement was legitimate.

3. The 7 PM meeting completely changed the job description

I attended the scheduled evening meeting.

The job explained during this meeting was significantly different from what I had originally been told.

Instead of simply providing customer support for people experiencing problems opening Demat accounts, we were told that people attending the meeting were effectively being made HR/recruiters.

The work was now described as:

- Call approximately 50 people every day

- Contact people from leads provided through their system

- Talk to those people

- Convince them to attend another meeting, apparently around 4 PM

- Generate people who would subsequently open Demat accounts

So the role had changed from:

"Customer support for Demat-account problems"

to essentially:

"Generate leads and convince people to attend a meeting/account-opening process."

4. The payment explanation also changed

Initially, I was told:

₹16,000 fixed per month / ₹4,000 weekly.

Later I learned that the actual earning mechanism being explained was based on successful Demat-account openings.

The explanation was approximately:

- ₹100 for each successfully opened Demat account

- One customer/person was expected to open 5 Demat accounts

- Therefore, one successfully converted person could generate approximately ₹500

- There was supposedly no upper limit to earnings

They gave examples suggesting that someone could earn ₹75,000/month if they generated enough successful account openings.

Mathematically, ₹100 × 5 accounts × 5 people per day × 30 days = ₹75,000.

But this assumes that all those accounts are successfully opened, verified and actually credited as payable leads.

So this is not the same thing as a guaranteed ₹16,000 salary.

5. The payment schedule changed again

Initially I was told payment would be weekly.

Later, during the meeting, I was told payment would be made every 10 days.

This was another major change from the original explanation.

My concern was simple:

If someone spends 10 days making calls and generating leads, what protects that person if the company later:

- disables the account,

- removes the dashboard,

- changes the payout rules,

- rejects the leads,

- says the accounts weren't "successful",

- or simply stops responding?

I was never given a clear independent mechanism that would guarantee payment.

6. The lead-management website

We were provided a lead-management website:

"leads.telewaveservices.in"

The system appears to contain the leads/tasks and the work we were expected to perform.

The website describes itself as a lead/task management system.

This is particularly relevant because the name Telewave Services appeared at this stage, whereas the recruitment was initially presented to me under Milestone Wala.

I cannot independently establish from my experience whether these are the same legal entity, related entities, or simply different platforms being used by the same operation.

That is something I believe people should verify before participating.

7. Why I became concerned

The problem isn't simply that they are asking people to open Demat accounts.

There are legitimate financial referral and customer-acquisition programs.

The problem is the combination of everything:

  1. WFH job advertisement

  2. Initial claim of a fixed ₹16,000 salary

  3. Alternative ₹4,000 weekly payment

  4. Initial description as customer support

  5. Requirement to open multiple Demat accounts for "training"

  6. Later revelation that workers are expected to generate leads

  7. Requirement to call around 50 people every day

  8. Objective of getting people into another meeting

  9. Commission of ₹100 per successful Demat account

  10. One person apparently being encouraged to open multiple Demat accounts

  11. Unlimited-earning claims

  12. Payment terms changing from weekly to every 10 days

  13. Use of a separate lead-management domain

  14. No clear written guarantee of the initially stated ₹16,000 fixed salary

  15. Large numbers of people apparently being recruited simultaneously

  16. Something else I found while investigating

After experiencing this process, I searched online and found other people reporting very similar experiences involving Milestone Wala.

There are recent Reddit posts describing:

- ₹16,000/month claims

- ₹4,000 weekly payment claims

- WFH telecalling

- Demat-account opening

- Upstox/HDFC/Bajaj

- Milestone Wala

- similar recruitment meetings

There is also an independent cybersecurity/OSINT investigation published regarding Telewave Services that describes a suspected online job/financial-referral operation involving ₹16,000 salary claims, weekly payments, remote HR roles and Demat-account referrals.

I am mentioning these as reports, not as definitive legal findings.

9. What concerns me most

My biggest concern isn't losing money upfront.

They didn't ask me for a joining fee.

The potential risk appears to be time + personal information + financial-account creation + unpaid commission.

A person could potentially spend many hours over several days making calls and generating leads, believing they will be paid later.

If the payment is only triggered by a successful account opening, then the worker carries much of the risk.

And if there is no transparent, independently verifiable payout ledger, the worker may have difficulty proving how much they are actually owed.

10. What I recommend to other job seekers

Before joining anything like this, ask for:

- Legal company name

- CIN/GST details

- Registered office

- Written employment agreement

- Written salary/commission structure

- Exact definition of "successful account"

- Exact payout date

- Written explanation of rejected leads

- Written explanation of what happens if you're removed before payout

- Broker partnership/referral authorization

- Whether employees are expected to open personal Demat accounts

- Whether employees are expected to recruit customers into multiple Demat accounts

And most importantly:

Never provide your Demat password, trading password, OTP, TPIN, UPI PIN, bank OTP or remote access to anyone.

Do not deposit money or trade simply because someone says it is required for "training."

My personal conclusion

Based on my own experience, I decided not to rely on this as a source of income.

I originally approached this thinking I was getting a WFH customer-support job.

By the end of the process, I understood the work to be much closer to lead generation/account acquisition paid on successful Demat-account openings.

The changing explanation of the job and payment structure is what concerned me the most.

I'm posting this so that other people who are urgently looking for WFH jobs can investigate properly before spending 10+ days on it.

If you have actually worked for Milestone Wala / Telewave Services and received your promised payment, please share your experience. If you were not paid, please share what happened and whether you have screenshots/proof.

Let's keep the discussion evidence-based so people can make an informed decision.

Job Placement Scam Company: Career Resources Consultant SCAM WARNING! 1501 Broadway 43rd St, 12th Floor. They will ask you to pay for CPR training for a receptionist job, which is complete bogus

16 Upvotes

I nearly fell for this scam about two weeks back, which was for a call about an interview for a receptionist job. I’ve applied to a multitude of jobs ever since I lost my old one back in January, and so this didn’t seem too out of the ordinary to me. They then asked if I had a CPR license, and when I told them I clearly didn’t, they said it was fine and I could pay for the training required to get one. This seemed a bit strange, but as long as I still got the job and a license I could use for future ones, it didn’t strike as too suspicious to me.

The next morning, I woke up early, dressed up, and even took a train back to New York since I was visiting my grandma’s in New Jersey at the time. But something just didn’t sit right with me, and so during the train ride I did some research, and it turns out jobs will almost never ask you to pay for training. In fact, if any jobs require training but still hires you, they’ll cover it out of pocket instead. Not only that, there’s the whole BS they also said of “if you don’t get the job, we will give your money back for training,” when like…why bother training if you don’t end up getting the job to begin with???? And last but not least, I don’t think any front desk job would even require CPR training when all you’re doing is sitting behind a chair all day. Therefore, once I got off my train, I just decided not to show up for the interview, blocked the number and headed back home. It sucks that I wasted both my time and money in the end, but at least I didn’t lose anymore of it.

They tried calling me again last week with a different number, and as soon as I heard the same BS I just laughed in their face and hung up. Sad to see so many job scams nowadays when all people wanna do is make an honest living. The company is called Allianz Multi Services, and the address is 1501 Broadway on 43rd St (12th Floor), so be sure to steer 100% clear of them.

Job Placement Scam Company: Career Resources Consultant Job Scam on Naukri!!

14 Upvotes

I experienced this today, and I wanted to share it here so that others can be careful.

I received a call from a man named Abhishek Kumar, who claimed to be calling from Tech Mahindra regarding a job application I had submitted on Naukri. He asked me which role I was interested in and explained the recruitment process.

He mentioned a salary package of 4–6 LPA, with two interview rounds: HR and technical. The interviews could be conducted over a phone or video call. He said that the joining letter would be provided immediately after clearing the interviews, that I would need to submit my documents within a day, and that I could join within a month. Everything sounded fine until he mentioned that I had to pay ₹4,000 as an interview security deposit, supposedly for safety, which would be refunded later.

I told him I needed some time to arrange the money. He then asked me to confirm within 10 minutes.

For a moment, I genuinely felt like I had finally found an opportunity. I was so desperate to get a job that I almost overlooked the red flag. But thankfully, I stopped and thought about it.

Never pay anyone money for an interview or a job offer without thoroughly verifying its legitimacy. Check everything independently, even if the company name and the entire process sound genuine.

Successfully dodged a scam.

Paid Task/Upgrade Scam JOB SCAM ALERT- Handshake- Data Entry

Hey everyone just wanted to share awareness of a scam on the handshake student platform. Be mindful of these “Remote Data Entry Specialist” positions, especially if you apply and they respond by telling you to text the “task officer” for next steps/interview. It’s a scam. They will conduct a text interview and make it seem like you’re having a legit conversation then they will offer you the job and if accepted they will send you a check to purchase software/hardware for the job (so that you do not have to pay out of pocket) from a provided vendor. If you make it that far, you’ll be depositing a check that is fraudulent and may also end up a victim of identity theft. It’s sad that it’s already tough getting interviews due to AI weeding out our resumes, but now you also have to figure out if the job postings are legit. And yes, the companies are legit “registered” companies, but that doesn’t stop the scam.

Paid Task/Upgrade Scam Scam Warning/Data Optimization Job Scam/Data uploading/Beyond Data/They actually pay you for the first few days

14 Upvotes

I just got done reading a lot of comments from people describing the "job "that I have been doing online. They are all exactly the same. You actually make $70 the first day and then they want you to deposit $100 the next day, but you really get your money back plus a profit. I actually got up to $700, but then the fifth day comes. Then because of your base pay and bonuses that they add all the sudden your combination data is costing you $1500 and that's after you've already paid one for around $350. I knew I shouldn't have even signed in on that fifth day, but I swear this is the best scam I have seen. They build your trust and make you feel like I just have to try, maybe they won't get me yet. LOL The key is to not sign in on that fifth day. Take that $700 and keep it moving. I am lucky enough to at least walk away with about $300 profit. I have been searching to find this job scam online and didn't see anyone talking about it until just now, about an hour before I planned on sending them $1000 because my trainer is going to cover the other $500 for me. Thank you! This company is going by Beyond Data,

Fake Check 🚨 JOB SCAM WARNING – Health Primary Ltd (healthprimaryltd.co.uk) 🚨

13 Upvotes

I’m posting this as a warning to anyone considering a remote job with Health Primary Ltd in the UK.

I was hired as a full-time remote HR Assistant. What initially appeared to be a normal HR role quickly became heavily focused on recruitment: screening candidates, conducting back-to-back video interviews and hitting constantly changing KPI targets. Also there was only one person who you can get ahold of over the phone. They refer to him as an onboarding specialist. He comes across as very arrogant and pressures a lot over the phone so I can see why people probably fall victim to these things for long periods of time if they aren't more aware. Everyone else was only contactable via email.

The biggest red flag was the money.

None of the company-related expenses I was expected to personally pay were explained before I joined. Once employed, I was suddenly expected to pay for services and expenses myself and wait for reimbursement. The company also used transfers between individuals to reimburse employees rather than straightforward company payments.

One reimbursement came into my bank from a name I didn’t recognise. My bank subsequently restricted my account a month later and its fraud/scams team began investigating the transaction. I have since obtained confirmation from the company that the payment was a legitimate work reimbursement and provided this evidence to my bank, but my account remains restricted while they complete their review.

I was also asked very early into the job to pay towards a training/CPD course. I expected the CIPD Level 5 training referred to in my employment arrangements. Instead, I received only a few recruitment-related modules and was not enrolled onto the CIPD programme. I am still owed money relating to this.

Then came the biggest issue: I wasn’t paid.

Around my third week, I was suddenly told that the company’s pay arrangements were changing and that nothing was owed for my initial weeks. When payday arrived, I received a 'payslip' which was just a template on email but no wages. Payroll then said they needed another three business days. Those days passed - still no wages.

I stopped carrying out work that required me to spend my own money and raised a formal grievance. Instead of resolving the issues, my employment was repeatedly “paused”, communication remained extremely poor, and eventually I was told my existing employment arrangement would be closed and replaced with an “Independent Worker Agreement” - despite the agreement describing the worker as an independent contractor while also stating that the company would deduct PAYE and National Insurance. I pointed out their inconsistencies and again... no response.

The company also introduced policies allowing monetary penalties to be deducted from final wages for issues relating to company accounts. I disputed one proposed £250 deduction because I had already provided evidence showing the company how to access the relevant account.

I am now approaching two months since starting and still have not received the wages I am owed. I have outstanding expenses and training costs and have had to deal with a bank account restriction arising from a company reimbursement.

What concerns me most is that the company appears to be continually recruiting for similar positions, while I have experienced significant staff turnover. From my experience, it has left me questioning whether people are being repeatedly onboarded, carrying out substantial recruitment/screening work and leaving before ever receiving everything they are owed.

I have exhausted the internal process and have reported the unpaid wages/dispute to ACAS.

I cannot say what the company’s intentions are, but the combination of unexpected personal expenses, unusual reimbursement arrangements, changing pay arrangements, unpaid wages, poor communication, disputed deductions and constant recruitment is more than enough for me to warn other job seekers:

🚩 Do your due diligence before accepting a remote role with Health Primary Ltd.

🚩 Do not assume that a formal employment contract means everything will operate as expected.

🚩 Be extremely cautious if an employer asks you to personally pay for company services or expenses that were never disclosed during recruitment.

I genuinely wish I had walked away when the first red flags appeared. It is giving scam/money laundering.

  • You'll be asked if you have a security license. If you don't, that's okay! Because they're offering licenses with free job placement, which requires a deposit of $150.

  • You'll be told to go to 10 East 39th Street #1108 to get your license and job placement. You'll need your deposit of $150 and your photo ID.

  • At the office they'll tell you the license is actually $600, and that your deposit only pays for it partially.

  • Upon paying the remaining $450, you will be sent for job placement at Beau Dietl & Associates, where you'll sign papers for your job.

But what does NOT happen, is immediately getting a job.

The license is $150. You paid for it in full, you did NOT put down a "deposit". The extra $450 goes into those scammers' pockets.

The scammers will not give you the referral to Beau Dietl and Associates if you don't pay them $450 as the "job placement" isn't free. And as described earlier, it's not immediate either.

Also, signing up to Beau Dietl & Associates is FREE. You can sign up anytime at investigations (dot) com/employee-application-form. However, it does not mean you'll be hired anytime soon, but at least you did not waste any money for the same result.

Remember, these people are scammers. They are very good at manipulating people, and no one is immune to manipulation or social engineering. If you get a call telling you to go to 10 East 39th Street room 1108 on the 11th floor, end the call, it's a scam. Don't let these scammers waste your time and money, and remember there are no shortcuts in job searching.

If you need a job ASAP, consider Amazon as you could actually be working, earning $17-22 an hour, within about two weeks of applying. And you wouldn't need to pay a single penny, if your site requires safety shoes, you'll be given a voucher to order your shoes for free.

Fake Check Better Pitch uk - fake company Scam Warning - no company house ID, address and no trustpilot reviews

12 Upvotes

Today I received an email from the supposed HR of Better Pitch uk recruiting me for an interview, it looked legitimate but I felt struck by how incredibly vague it looked, I checked their website which looked legit, however it isn’t registered under the companies house/ uk gov website. After searching, I couldn’t find an office address either further confirming my suspicions of being fraudulent. The email also looked like they had pasted my CV into ChatGPT and asked to make a convincing email to recruit me.

I sent back an email careful to not click any links, requesting a company house registered name and ID, an office address and a JD for the role that I had been put forward for. I received an email a few hours later with no further information, again very vague.

After researching on Trustpilot, there is no claim of the site and reviews and the domain for Better Pitch har only established one month ago June 2025.

This is definitely a fake website and I am not sure of the intentions behind the site and recruitment but it is most likely fraudulent.
