A firm housed in NR Tower on 17th Cross, 19th Main in Sector 4 shut shop within months of its operations. The company has allegedly cheated over 60 people who were given work-from-home jobs but never got paid.
Dipreeth was one such victim. This 23-year-old resident of BTM Layout posted his resume on online sites like Naukri, Indeed and LinkedIn. Later, one firm named Mac Infotech Company based in HSR Layout reached out to him.
When he reported to work, the officials allegedly asked him to work from home and the work will be assigned to them online. Dipreeth worked on the assignments given by the firm for three months. When the payments never came, he went to enquire with the firm only to realise that the establishment had evacuated the co-working space they were operating from.
When Dipreeth looked around the coworking space, he also realised that he was not the only one allegedly cheated by the firm. There was Shamsuddin (23) and around 60 other employees who had a similar complaint.
The cops have registered a case of cheating and are investigating.
