We do not ask anybody to pay any money online or give any telephone number and private account numbers for payment of recruitment fees. We are aware that some crooks even demand money for "waiver of training after recruitment", that the applicants after paying certain amount is asked to start work immediately, as they won't have to go for training. This is not our practice please."
