I received first telephone call from sg international (Address: level 7/86 collins st, hobart tas 7000, australia) on 14th june 2019. The person who called me was miss samantha anderson, and the number from which i received the call was +[protected]. I also received an email from them after the call, thanking me for the telephonic talk. They asked to provide my resume and other credentials. Then there was telephonic interview and emails correspondence. All correspondence from sg international attached along with this email for reference and proof. Finally offer letter was sent to me on 21st june 2019. Post two days i received another hr call from miss dynan smith who was also a hr person called from same above number and interview went for 15-20 mins. Later i asked the feedback, she told you’ll get a offer letter with all the details. Followed by 4 days i received the offer letter and their next move was to initiate the visa processing. From hereon the real picture starts..!!
They have aligned with fake documentation agency called “batcheck immigration” and they forwarded my offer letter and visa processing application to this agency. On 22nd june 2019, i received an email from bat check associates claiming that they have received my candidature for visa processing and other documentation work from my employer sg pty ltd. Bat check associates emailed me all the documentation that i need to fill and send it across for further proceeding. To write the ielts exam, they asked me to pay rs. 11, 400 to below bank details:
Account name: afsar hussain advo
Account number: [protected]
Bank name: indian overseas bank
Ifsc code: ioba0001785
Payable fees: rs. 11, 400
After submission of the payment for ielts exam, they provided me fake invoice during eod 7pm after multiple follow ups. Followed by 4 days they again came back with the list of appointment schedule letter for further documentation process. Later they urged me to pay 16, 800 for other legality work to the same above mentioned account number, demanding to pay this amount immediately and only after the receipt of this payment, by 11th july 2019 they will share all the information with their agent/consulate details. When they started to ask this amount, i felt suspicious, and even after several telephone call they are not providing the details. I also asked them to refund my amount paid for ielts exam, as i have paid for the exam and i have received the confirmation for ielts. But they are not answering anything about the question or query when i was asking them.
The moment i felt suspicious i searched in google to check about batcheck associates and to my surprise i came to know this is totally a fake, perhaps both the companies played a scam drive with all job seekers. Then unfortunately i got connected to a group who are affected with same scam drive and we all affected victims interacted with each other’s and planned to raise this issue with cyber crime through our nearest police station.
Immediately i started doing research in online and it was totally planned and executed the scam drive. Next day on my friend from mumbai reached police station and given a fir attaching all the email correspondence details shared with him.
Hope you will do needful to find the legality of this matter against this fraud and cheaters and other parts of people also be saved from getting cheated. Below is the address that they have mentioned in every mail communications.
