“We have heard so much about frauds, but never thought it would happen to us. There is no employment these days and this seemed like a good package. But we were made fools,” said Dilshad Ahmed, a 30-year-old, who is among 300 people allegedly duped through a job recruitment scam.
Earlier last year, Dilshad had learnt of a vacancy at national broadcaster Prasar Bharati through a relative, and was told to pay an amount of Rs 3,000 for an assistant’s job at a salary of around Rs 40,000 per month. But he was told that his application would only be processed once at least 200 people had signed up.
