I’m worried! Someone claiming to be an Air India HR executive named Mohit Sharma called me, saying I was selected for a job and needed to pay ₹5,150 for immediate processing. He promised a job offer letter within two days after payment. I paid, but now he’s ignoring me and demanding another ₹15,000. I fear I’ve been scammed. I paid through his personal bank account. What can I do to get my ₹5,150, and my friend’s ₹5,150 (a total of ₹10,300) back? Please advise.

You are likely a victim of a scam. Air India does not charge any fees for recruitment. File a complaint with the cybercrime police station, providing details of the transaction and the contact information you have. Also, consider filing a police complaint and approaching your bank to initiate a chargeback.
