Job seekers duped by Imphal-based job centre

Imphal, May 8 : An Imphal-based job centre has allegedly duped gullible job seekers by calling them not only to appear in the interview for filling up post vacancies in mobile service providers, Vodafone and Tata Indicom but also making them to deposit money.

Disclosing this while taking to mediapersons at Manipur Press Club here today, the gullible job seekers informed that they have responded to the advertisement published through local newspapers by Brilliant Job Information cum Guidance Centre located at Nagamapal and the interview for the post of manager, accountant and receptionist in the two mobile service providers was held today.

However, much to the surprise of the candidates, there were no officials of the two companies to conduct the interview.

Rather the candidates who have applied for the post of manager were told during the course of the interview that is no post vacancy for manager any more only there is post for field work.

The candidates were also reportedly told by the officials of the job centre to come back along with their parents/guardians on May 9 as they need to deposit a large amount of money and out of the deposited amount, 40 percent is to be paid to the UGs.

The job centre had also alleged charged Rs 300 as the cost of the application forms and another Rs 200 as processing fee from the candidates.

When demanded for refunding the amount, the full amount had not been given, the duped candidates told mediapersons.
