IT recruitment scam busted in Bangalore
The Bangalore police claim to have unearthed a placement agency that cheated software professionals with a promise of getting them jobs in top software companies.
Proprietor, Grasp Technologies, Sunil Nimbalkar is just one among more than a hundred victims of a recruitment scam busted by the Bangalore police recently.
Vinceraj Solomon, who ran a placement agency, Silicon Infosys, allegedly duped him.
"He (Solomon) came to me saying he is working with Accenture and he is opening his own recruitment company. I called Accenture and verified on the phone. I gave him so many candidates for recruitments. They made their payment to him through me. In the end he was untraceable, and I ended up repaying their money. My loss is more than Rs 25 lakh," Nimbalkar says.
The police have found that Solomon duped mainly IT engineers, swindling close to Rs 1.5 crore in the process. He used to issue fake offer letters, and in return took commissions from each candidate.
