MAYBE MAHARASHTRA'S BIGGEST FAKE JOB SCAM !!!
Everyone eventually reaches a breaking point while searching for jobs — especially IT professionals. Scammers posing as “consultancies” are taking full advantage of this situation.
There are many so-called placement consultancies that promise guaranteed jobs.
Here’s how the scam usually works:
You hear from someone — maybe a friend or a friend of a friend — that they got placed through a consultancy. You enroll and pay a huge amount: ₹1.5 lakh, ₹2 lakh, sometimes even ₹3 lakh. Some consultancies even arrange loans in the name of “education loans.”
In return, they promise jobs with packages like 3 LPA, 4 LPA, or more. They show you a list of 10–12 companies and ask you to choose one. The interview process is often fake or extremely easy. Sometimes even staying silent in the interview still results in an offer letter.
Once you receive the offer letter, you feel relieved and hopeful. If the company is in another city, you relocate — often by taking additional loans for place and living expenses because you believe you finally have a stable career.
Initially, everything looks legitimate:
\- Office space
\- Colleagues
\- Seniors
\- Projects
\- HR process
But within a month, reality starts becoming clear.
The seniors are fake.
The projects are fake.
The company itself is often just an illusion created to rotate money and exploit desperate job seekers.
After a month or two, pressure begins:
\- Unrealistic project demands
\- Excessive workload
\- Constant mental harassment
\- Forced Performance Improvement Plans (PIP)
Some people quit at this stage due to stress. Those who survive beyond 3 months understand the real picture.
After that:
\- Salaries stop coming
\- Employees are treated badly
\- People are asked to resign
\- Or told to “wait” because of PIP issues
And here’s the real catch:
The consultancy contract usually promises “support” only for the first 3 months. During that time, you may still be eligible to demand help or a refund. Once that period ends, they completely ignore you.
After 3 months:
\- The consultancy stops responding
\- The company stops responding
\- Calls and messages are ignored
People try approaching authorities, police, labor departments, or organizations — but in many cases, victims feel helpless and unsupported.
Many such companies are operating openly in Pune itself:
\- Under the name of educational firms
\- Placement consultancies
\- Or standalone IT companies
Now think about the scale:
One company manages around 200 employees per batch.
Calculation:
200 × ₹4.5 lakh (average amount paid) = ₹9 Crore
And this is only ONE company.
There are many more operating in the same way.
Some of these companies have reportedly been running for the last 3 years.
