Job frauds

Recently, Telangana state police traveled to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar to bust a job fraud. They found that a gang was involved in it and arrested six persons.

They used to conduct interviews via Google Meet and issue offer letters of various companies to the job seekers. After getting the amounts, they used to go unreachable.
