FIDUASIA-FRAUD
if you are an Engineering Graduate from Chennai, you might have received a text message since the past month informing about the 3000 vacancies available at FiduAsia’s Chennai branch. The message also stated that they will be recruiting students in batches of 30 (Yes, that means almost half of your class in the same company). For more details they have given the company’s website www[dot]fiduasia[dot]com.
I’ve received calls and texts from lot of my friends about this company and saw a few posts on various Facebook pages for Fresher’s Jobs. But to me, it smelled fishy. So I decided to dig deep about this company. And here is what I found out.
A little Googling:
Then I called in my best companion, Google, to take part in the research. The result was something I expected. On Googling their name “FiduAsia”, the first few results pointed to their own website. Next few were job portals which displayed that ‘3000 in 30 a batch’ recruitment advertisements.
Further down came the interesting thing. It was titled “FiduAsiacom: Scam or Legit”. It was a website that checks the trustworthiness of various websites across the web and gives a score to them. They gave FiduAsia a very poor score of 15 out of 100. They had also advised users not to visit the site.
Beyond this there were no other results that was talking about FiduAsia as a company. This is surprising given that they are not new to the field (or atleast that is what they say).
A While Ago:
FiduAsia’s website does not provide any information on the origin of the company. Nothing about the founders, the year it was found or the location of the foundation. Nothing was available. So, I decided to find it out myself. For an IT / ITES company, a website is one of the mandatory requirements. So I checked when the website was registered and it was a complete shock. Here is the domain details
17 APRIL 2013, just a month ago. And registration details of the domain are hidden. Why on earth would a corporate company do that? And look at the registrar! It is based on Queensland, Australia. Not in India, not in East Asia. But in Australia. Why is that?
