These forwarded emails lure the email recipients with various job offers across India, convincing them that they are genuine agencies who can fetch them great jobs with high salaries. Some of these emails also come with lottery prizes. You can find some of them in the complaint section of consumer court in the reference section. All these are simply hoax emails, the only intention of which is to cheat people, grab their personal contact details, bank information and collect money from them.

These emails first target the email users with attractive job offers in good positions in reputed companies like Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. They convince people to respond to their emails. Once they respond, they are asked to pay some money as a security deposit or something, giving their bank account details. An example email response is given below:
