Carlson Research & Telecommunication - A Recruitment Scam?
Do you like this story?
Today, I came across job advertisement in
Freshersworld.com about Civil Engineer recrutiment.
Salary : 350000 - 425000 Rs Per Year
Because of decent salary quoted for freshers, for a moment I thought I will recommend it to few students. However, I decided to check the company and what I saw seems fishy, very fishy. Here are my pointers on why I thought so:
1.
It says Civil Engineer however it
further in ad says
- B.tech / BBA/ B.com/ Fresher/UG
- Any Undergraduate/Graduate/Post Graduate
2. Website
carlsonresearch.in does not give professional feeling of big multi country
research organization.
3. http://www.carlsonresearch.in/carrer.html
Carlson Research Career section on website has misspelling;
would a multinational company do such mistake?
4. Contact
Section states offices all across the world BUT without any contact number?
I decided to cross check Singapore address as I stay in Singapore;
address is residential and does not belong to any office.
5. Our
Team gives names of 4 professionals which have been quoted with high experience
but I could not find single article online about them, no LinkedIn profile as
well.
In fact no employee could be found on LinkedIn.
In fact no employee could be found on LinkedIn.
6.
Domain name: carlsonresearch.in
was registered on 25 Jan, 2016 however their website claim " With services launched in 2009". Were they
operating without website since 2009, isn’t it fishy for a multinational
company?
Domain is registered under
3dwebers.com which is IT company. Would big organization register their domain
name under somebody else?
7.
Click on case study takes to login
screen, where I tried to enter credentials (of course wrong) but it did not say
wrong credentials and took me back to same screen. Can they afford to have such
lousy system for international clients?
It looks scam to take money from students who are
looking for job. I may be completely wrong but please use your judgment while
dealing with them. For claim of World's fastest growing Research and Telecommunication Company, all above do not go in hand. I am sending the same article to Cyber Cell for further
investigation.

She took interwiew of mine and said u have been selected for gurgaon location for the post of research analyst. Your first round is clear and for second round u should have sas cirtification and recomended few institute in delhi.she offered salary of 35k/month mon fri.. I crossed checked and none of her addres exists not in us not in dubai even not in mumbai and banglore. She called me two days after i asked her these questions and said its a scam i will complain and she hanged up my phone.. And not recieving my calls too. Guys beware of these fishing jobs... Please cross check everything before u go for it.
None of the company ask for money or ask u to do any kind of courses on your own.
I have all the recordings and surely will complain to syber cell..
