FRAUD ALERT: Fake Maruti Alert appointment letter
A cousin of mine today sent me a mail which is clearly a fraud. It looks like an interview from Maruti for a senior role with a huge pay packet.
However there are clear tell-tale signs that this is a fraud
1. Mails sent from hotmail and not maruti.co.in
2. Mail is sent by the CEO ?? and not HR
3. It asks for depositing Rs. 8K in ICICI and SBI bank.
4. It mentions Maruti has plants in Bangalore, Pune and Mumbai which are not there.
I am hoping that this mail will help folks to avoid the mistake.
Copy of the email for fun reading
1) Photo-copies of Qualification Documents.
2) Photo-copies of Experience Certificates (If any)
3) Photo-copies of Address Proof
4) Two Passport Size Photograph.
You have to deposit the (Cash) as an initial amount in favor of our
company accountant name in charges to collect your payment. Department.

BANK OF INDIA] OR [ICICI BANK] Branch from your Home City to our Company

Company. The Job profile, salary offer, and date -time of interview will
