I have been searching for a legit wfh part time job across the globe, considering there are so many scams going on I always research well before applying. But currently I feel all the potentially well paying jobs(considering my currency is INR) are for the USA or Canada candidates only.
Where do I even get a good paying remote role in this market now?
I first joined Acetians Technologies Pvt Ltd (Kanpur, UP) as an intern. It was a paid internship (where I get paid ). But although the company seemed to be in a good position did not pay the interns. After requesting for months they would pay one month salary and claim that the salary has been scheduled and that it is still processing. No idea how they keep processing the salary for 4 months. Later I heard from the permanent employees that even they were facing this issue except for the people in the managerial posts. Even when the company was flooding with projects they kept delaying the salary. I have also seen my colleagues on the verge of quitting, and that was what convinced them to pay 2 months salary when the pending was of 4 months.
Facing such scenarios first hand makes me doubt the private sector work ethics. I had personally invested extra hours in my work, even worked on holidays. And yet after leaving the company, they have still not cleared my salary. It is about to be one year since I left yet they can clear the salary of an intern who has actually contributed to the company.
Many interns as well as employees have left due to this issue. Those who are joining new are the ones who are unaware of this scam.
I have written this post just to spread awareness. In case you want an unpaid internship, it is a great place no doubt. But once promised in the offer letter when the company fails to pay makes people doubt the company's ethics. So my advice is choose wisely, do your full research before joining a new company. Not just google reviews, try to connect with previous employees first then judge. I have learnt my lesson the hard way. Hope you don't have to.
Initially I was offered the sbi simply save card and said that no charges will be deducted but the first month of my credit card bill included the annual charges and gst. Upon confronting the bank personnel he said the charges will be reversed the next month yet i did not receive the money. Now he says it is supposed to be reversed in the 3rd month after I have spent 2k in the first 2 months.
Recently I got a call from a person claiming that my sbi credit card was made LTF although there was no official notice, and that I have to immediately install the anydesk app. Also I was rushed to download the app and give information immediately or else my card would be blocked. Even before I had received such a call claimed to be from sbi sources to confirm my credit card details. It seems suspicious to have such calls from SBI. And I have received many such calls in just 2 months. Has anyone else faced such a situation?
