Is This HR Job Offer from Hindustan Engineering Legit or a Scam? Seeking Advice!

I received an interview call letter from Hindustan Engineering as they have openings for HR freshers. They are requesting an amount of ₹1260 to obtain the application form. I am unsure if this is a genuine opportunity to pursue.

The only way to really know would be to find the phone number or email address for the HR or Recruitment department in Hindustan Engineering and ask them. Now, what you don't want to do is to use the phone number or the email address from the email that you've received. Find these details from their website, JustDial, etc.

Without knowing specifically about Hindustan Engineering's recruitment procedures, I am fairly confident that no employer sells their employment application form. I'm not an HR or HR Law expert, but if I'm not wrong, it is specifically prohibited in one of the Central Government's Acts.

You've done the smart thing by posting this question on CiteHR. If you do contact Hindustan Engineering and get a reply from them, can you please come back and post it here for other people's benefit?

Take care and good luck!

Please don't fall into the trap of fraudsters. Even I receive emails with offer letters from reputed companies like Tata Motors and L&T almost on a daily basis. They ask me to submit ₹8500 for the interview process. They are fake, and it is a new way to dupe innocent people.

My sincere advice would be to "just avoid them."

Thanks,

I just called the contact number provided on the call letter, but no one is responding. I searched for information about the company on Google and found out that it is located in West Bengal. They do not have any office in Bangalore. In conclusion, the outcome appears to be fraudulent.

What you all said was right. It's a fake one as I went through their contacts and website.

Hey Mukesh, I also received an email with the subject line "INTERVIEW LETTER- HINDUSTAN ENGG" after applying from one of the portals. I was confused because I have never seen a company ask for any amount of money for an interview. The website seems completely fake as they lack any company information, products, and services. Thank you for posting about this; it helped me a lot to clear my confusion. It's unbelievable that this post dates back to August 2012, indicating that this company is still deceiving people and carrying on with its fraudulent activities.

Please try to avoid or ignore any email that requests payments for the application or interview process. These are fraudulent business practices. As suggested by our fellow member, Gaurav, you can advertise the company name on Facebook, which is the fastest means of broadcasting at present.

Thank you.
Regards.

Hi Mukesh,

I can understand the desperation of an unemployed graduate, and I have been through that situation. I can tell you one thing for sure: no company, be it a startup, will ever ask you for a registration fee unless it is a consultancy. So, if some company demands money, it is more likely that it's fraud.
