There have been a number of reports about such calls being received by innocent victims. Many cases are related to these types of fraud companies. The modus operandi of such agencies, involved, getting crucial and confidential information such as name and mobile numbers among others from illegal sources and then distribute the work amongst its employees, and the employees shall call the prospective job aspirant. Then once they are on the call, the executive tries to persuade them that they have ready job with them for which the candidate may apply and get the job after an interview. But for the selection, they charge huge fees. So, if the victim falls trap to their idea, they ask him to pay for it, and after payment, the victim cannot even reach them without even getting details such address of the office etc, So the player becomes untraceable and loots the money from him without any chance for return of money etc,.
