A.Dear Client,
If you receive an online job offer from a company that seems fraudulent and makes unethical and arbitrary threats or demands for money, it is advisable to be cautious. Ignoring such threats is a reasonable first step, especially if the nature of the threats raises suspicion about the company's intentions.
However, if you continue to receive repeated calls, messages, or emails demanding money for various purposes or threatening legal action, it's important to take more assertive steps. You can make a formal complaint (General Diary entry) against the company at your local police station. Provide any papers, documents, or digital evidence you may have related to the communication.
Additionally, consider serving a legal notice to the company. In the legal notice, enclose a copy of the police complaint and inform them that you are contemplating filing a criminal suit against the company for cheating and criminal intimidation under Sections 415 and 503 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). This action may prompt the company to reconsider its approach, and the matter may stand resolved thereafter.

A.Dear Client,
This kind of online job is being offered and operated by Fraudster companies/entities to extort money from unemployed youths. So, on receipt of such an unethical and arbitrary threat or demand from such type of Company, just ignore it because the nature of the threats itself proves their ulterior motives behind the offer. However, on receipt of repeated calls or messages/emails demanding money for different purposes or threatening legal action, then make a complaint(GD) against the said Company at the local police station with whatever papers/documents or digital evidence you have and serve a legal notice enclosing a copy of the police complaint(GD) informing them that you are contemplating filing a criminal suit against the Company for cheating and criminal intimidation u/s.415 and 503 of IPC. Hopefully, the matter may stand resolved thereafter. In case the matter is not resolved, then consult with an Advocate for guidance and steps to navigate the matter in the right way.
