How To Report Fraud at Bustathief.com

First of all this company had mailed me that My Professional experience in Software Testing is matching with their requirement and they told me to appear online for interview. The email id that i had added was “cygnusinter@yahoo.com”. The Person who recognize him self by Mr.John, HR of Cygnuscorp had taken my online interview and told me to wait for his call or mail for confirmation. He had asked me hardly 7 to 8 question in online interview. And on the second day I got his mail that I have been apointed as Software Test Engineer in their company and he told me to remain present their with in a week other wise they recruit another person. As i am an indian i have to prepare a lot for to meet that deadline., the company also told me that You have to present there by your own expense and company will provide you the air-fare after signing the original job-offer letter at the office., They call me to come there On-Arrival visa. So I followed there instruction and reach there before one day of joining.

In Job offer letter He told me to come with an amount of $2500 as to make a guarantee bond against the accommodation and laptop that is provided by them and they will return it back to me after 3 months.

As I reached to the bangkok he had send a lady named “lack” to pick up me from air-port and I went with her to hotel where i meet MR. John, HR of Cygnuscorp, He told me to pay the hotel bill, I pay that bill and he also told me that he will return all amount from his director. Then I and Mr.John went to my hotel room; and there he demands that $2500 that i have to give him against gaurantee of acomodation and laptop, I gave him half of the amount and told him to pay remaining half after arranging it in two days. Then we go to Thai learning classes where he told me to attend the demo lecture, and so I have attended that demo lecture and he told me that he is waiting out-side.

When i finished my demo lecture and came out of the class room i find that Mr.John has left me there in Thai Language Class.

By then I go to the hotel by hiring a texi then I came back from there to india without doing any inquire to save my life.

By the way I wrote this for those who are being targeted by this company or Person named John Anuchan, Please find the offer letter which they have send me as below.
