Naukri Mitra Job Consultancy: Scam

Key Findings

The Pattern

• →Indian job consultancy that appears on Naukri.com job board
• →Calls candidates with job offers claiming to offer positions
• →Then demands registration fees (350 Rs) and NOC charges (1000 Rs) upfront
• →Also keeps 50% of first month salary without clear reason
• →Demands 'cancellation charges' if you back out, claiming fees already paid

Red Flags

• ⚠Warning: Charges upfront fees: 350 Rs for form, 1000 Rs for NOC (no clear justification)
• ⚠Warning: Takes first month salary: Keeps 50% of first month earnings without clear reason
• ⚠Warning: Hidden fees: Adds NOC charges after initial quote—changes terms mid-process
• ⚠Warning: Cancellation trap: Demands 'cancellation charges' if you back out, claiming fees already paid
• ⚠Warning: Vague justifications: Can't clearly explain what fees are for (NOC? Processing? Registration?)
• ⚠Warning: Blame-shifting: Blames senior staff for miscommunication when caught changing terms
• ⚠Warning: Misleading location: Calls with job offers from specific companies, charges you for 'placement'
• ⚠Warning: No paper trail: Verbal promises but demands payment in office—no written agreements upfront
• ⚠Warning: Low salary positions: Offers 30K jobs where they keep 50% (~15K), not valuable

What To Do

1. 1Use official job boards: Apply directly through Naukri.com, LinkedIn, or company career pages
2. 2Never pay for jobs: Real consultancies take commission from employers, never from job seekers
3. 3Get written terms: Any legitimate recruiter provides written fee agreement upfront
4. 4Verify company directly: Call the company yourself to confirm the job posting exists
5. 5Report consultancies: Report to Naukri.com, local consumer protection, and police cybercrime cell
6. 6If approached: Ask for written terms via email before going to office

What NOT To Do

• ✕Never pay upfront fees for job placements in India
• ✕Never accept verbal promises—require written agreements
• ✕Never agree to consultancy terms without seeing them in writing first
• ✕Don't visit offices of unknown consultancies (safety risk)
• ✕Never hand over money to anyone claiming to guarantee placement
• ✕Don't agree to 'salary deduction' arrangements

Copy-Paste Script

Naukri Mitra consultancies in India are scams. They charge 350-1000+ rupees upfront, keep half your first month salary, and demand 'cancellation charges' if you back out. Real recruiters take commission from employers, not job seekers. Never pay for jobs in India.
