Raina said, “I had filed my application in the Times Job website. I was approached by KV Solutions Advertising Management. I had sent my application the next day from Timesjob.com. On July 4, one Dr Umesh Prabhu, Super Market, had sent an email. After an interview, I received an offer for a UK-based job. I was told I need to make payments to get various certificates and I was given different account numbers for payments. I was also given UK government forms, including anti-terrorism, drug-free certificate, to fill. They used to call me frequently. The final interview was at Visa office in Delhi. I was again asked to make payment. After that, I did not receive any communication.”
