Postman: - Postman! Postman! Is there anybody inside the house?
Bulti: - Oh, Postman bhaya. Why are you shouting? Can’t you see the letter box outside our house? Just drop the letter inside it and go. I will open it later.
Postman: - Are you not aware of the new rules and regulations prescribed by the Indian Post Offices. Before dropping the letter to the recipient’s letter box, we need to alert them that there is a letter for them.
Bulti: - Ok, ok, thanks a lot.
*****************
Bulti: - Wow, this is just amazing. Mom, Dad, Bhaiya, where are you all? I have good news to share with you.
Pramila Devi: - What happened, Bulti? Why are you dancing with excitement? What is written in that letter?
Bulti: -This is a Job Offer letter for Saheb bhaiya from ‘ALTRA TECH INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (ATIDC)’.
Chinmoy Babu: - Saheb, o, Saheb, kothay geli re. tui ki kono company tey apply korechili naaki? Tor naamey appointment letter esechey. You have got a job in ATIDC as a Junior Engineer. The date of joining is on 1st April 2010 in Kolkata itself.
Saheb: - That’s fantastic. I applied to this company, after seeing their advertisement in the daily Bengali newspaper ‘ANANDABAZAAR PATRIKA’. It is written in the offer letter that the current CTC is 38,000 bucks per month. But, before that, I need to pay a Demand Draft of 1500 bucks in the name of ‘Altra Tech Industrial Development Corporation’ payable at Chennai within 12th March 2010. After receiving the DD, they will send another letter mentioning about the Venue of their Kolkata branch, where I need to join on 1st April 2010.
Pramila Devi: - Is it not a Kolkata based company? The managing director of ATIDC has signed this letter and that too with a Green colored sketch pen ink. Why a managing director will sign at the below of his name, rather than signing on the top of his name, ‘S. Banerjee’? No contact number and email id provided.
Bulti: - aah, maa, tumi na satyi. Dada ekta etoh bhalo chakri peyeche, and you are finding out the flaws in his job offer letter.
Pramila Devi: - Jaa bhalo bujhish kar, but, still there is something fishy in it. Why a company will provide a job offer letter, without conducting any written test and interview. And, why a company will ask for money to a jobseeker?
Chinmoy Babu: - aah, ei sab niye matha kharap kore laabh nei. Saheb, just go to SBI today to make the DD and then post it to their address:- Altra Tech Industrial Development Corporation, Post Box No. 31, Villupuram Village, Tamil Nadu – 605602
*******************
Inspector Arindam: - So, this is the entire case. Hmm…you should have lodged the FIR, the moment you received that fake job offer letter. Instead of doing that, you posted them a DD of 1500 bucks. Then, you received another letter containing the address of their branch office in Kolkata, where you were told to join from 1st April 2010. How can you find the office address of ATIDC in Kolkata, as the address provided by them is false? The address they provided you is: - 21/3, XL Block, 8th Floor, Maryland Towers, Sector V, Saltlake – 700091. How can you find Maryland Towers, if it does not exist at all? Your 1500 bucks have gone into the water. It’s a lesson for all you such foolish jobseekers. But, there has to be bank accounts in the name of ‘Altra Tech Industrial Development Corporation’, otherwise, how can they request for Demand Drafts? We have to find out the name of that bank.
Saheb: - Really, I have done a blunder. On this 1st April of 2010, I kept on roaming in the streets of Sector V to find their office. In this recession time, fake company people are fooling the jobseekers like this.
Inspector Arindam: - Don’t get disappointed. These things happen, but you need to be more alert to avoid such “AWESOME APRIL FOOLS’ DAY OF 2010”.
