- Complaint about fake promises about work and payment ^Open

Varbi Mridha filed this complaint against Foretell Realty Pvt Ltd on May 11, 2020

While searching for authentic data entry jobs, I came across Foretell Realty Pvt Ltd. Unlike the other scam ones, this one looked authentic as they have a proper customer work platform and a contact number and a professional email ID. On registering, a representative messaged me on WhatsApp regarding the security deposit needed and when I started doubting their scheme, the representative started sending me some screenshots of payments made to customers who had registered for the data entry and had given the deposit and completed the job. The screenshots looked fake when I started comparing them to my own Paytm payments page, but then I decided to pay the deposit of **** INR for novel writing and do the job. As mentioned by Foretell Realty, there are two kinds of deposits, **** INR for novel writing and **** INR for excel data. The company asks for the deposit for data security, as the data which they give the customer to enter is important, and the company would go in loss and have data security breach if the customer decided to not submit the work. On a presentation file, the representative sent me, it was mentioned that if there are any mistakes, they will give it back to the customer to rechecking and resubmission and that whether the work submitted is approved or rejected will be posted on the company work forum in * days. I submitted my work on the *th of May, **** and today is the **th of May, ****, which makes it * days today and yet the company has not changed the status of my work. On the *th of May, the representative messaged me on WhatsApp that my work is rejected and money won’t be refunded but it is still showing ‘Pending for Approval’ on the site. When I asked about the rechecking mentioned in the ppt, the representative messaged that it is not possible, that they don’t provide the rechecking window, it is just mentioned in the ppt. And regarding them taking the deposit for data security, the data they provide the consumer for the job are random extracts from different non-fiction and fiction articles and stories all around the world. If one would type a phrase from each page they provide, they would find that those are lines from different reports and stories available on the internet. So them telling you the deposit is for data security is bullshit. In the end, when I decided to call the number provided on the site of Foretell Realty, nobody receives the call. I called that number a dozen times, messages multiple times but no answer. On emailing them on their professional email provided, I get the notification that I can’t email anything to that email address. All I could depend on was the 'representative' who was messaging me via an unknown number, without any official tag.
