Fraud alert! Scam alert! Two major individuals are involved in this scam, representing themselves with different names such as Shubham Pratap Singh, Shubi Gupta/Priya/Mishty/Reshma, and many more aliases. They form a new team every month and dissolve it just before the salary date, claiming the company is in debt and they’re going to their hometown for a break.
They even threaten students who have purchased their courses to clear the entire fee and cancel the installment facility at their whim. When asked for salary, they claim bankruptcy and promise to clear dues in 60 days, which never happens. They avoid calls and only respond via WhatsApp with the identity they’ve presented, blocking the sender after one reply.
They never appear on camera, whether for interviews or team discussions, and promptly block anyone who confronts them. They artificially inflate the company’s Instagram and Facebook page followers, yet never follow their own company or associate with it on LinkedIn.
Confrontation leads to threats, with them using phrases like "ukhaad lo jisko ukhaadna hai" before disappearing and blocking contacts.
As students demand refunds, they block them too, then shut down the company’s page when flooded with complaints, only to reopen under a new name and repeat the cycle.
Their first company was called Data Einstein, then they started a new one called Apna Webb App, with Data Einstein now non-existent. They coerce employees to post positive Google reviews to maintain an illusion of legitimacy.
Beware, as this is a meticulously planned scam, with the company’s vision being to earn 60-70 lakhs to buy land in Uttar Pradesh. It’s uncertain if they have proper licenses in place. This warning is to alert everyone, as they plan to rebrand and hire new employees to continue their scam.
This experience has made me wary, despite asking open-ended questions, I was still fooled, believing it was done by their counterparts. I find solace in the valuable learning experiences from previous organizations like Mentoria and others, which I’d rather focus on.
