Continuing from our last post about fake recruiters and fake companies. Recently we have received a fake call letter for L&T Technology Services. Larsen & Toubro Limited, also known as L&T, is an Indian multinational conglomerate headquartered in Mumbai, India. There are many fake recruiters who are trying to fool freshers by sending suspicious mails and through calls about interview or joining letter in big MNCs like L&T. They generate freshers data from several websites likes naukri.com,timesjob.com etc. Do not unnecessarily apply for all jobs in those job portals. Do not upload your resume in classified sites like www.olx.in or www.quikr.com etc. Many fake recruiters gets freshers details from such websites.
Our Reader Mr Bipil Raut has send us this detail in a mail asking whether this is a real or fake call letter. After several investigations we have found that this is a fake call letter generated with a name of big company larsen & turbo. The received fake call letter is attached in this article. The given company official email id itself is wrong [email protected] as because the company email id should be in format of [email protected]. Never reply to such mails if its asking for any type of bank deposit or online cash deposit.
Dont get into such scams in future,as a result this will be very disappointing for freshers. Our aim is to make you aware of all frauds and scams going all around in internet. As an fresher you must think twice before joining such interviews.

Dear Madam/ Sir,
Clarification in Public Interest:
L&T’s Recruitment Process
It has been brought to our attention that certain unscrupulous elements are sending out false emails purporting to be from Larsen & Toubro Limited (“L&T”). The emails ask the recipient to appear for a face-to-face interview for a job opening with L&T and to deposit a certain amount as a refundable interview security in a designated bank account. The emails are falsely stated to be from officials of the HR Department of L&T.
L&T has not sent out any such emails. Please note that L&T, as a policy, does not collect any money as a pre-employment requirement. L&T and its affiliate companies bear no responsibility for amounts being deposited / withdrawn therefrom in response to such emails.
These communications may carry the ID or domain name of L&T (or a deceptively similar name) to make it look authentic. L&T is taking appropriate steps to tackle the issue.
As a vigilant jobseeker, please look out for the following pointers to identify the fraudulent emails:
Ø L&T does not ask for any money from the candidate at any stage of the recruitment process
Ø A fraudulent email may mention the bank account number of an individual
or
the account details would be given upon calling up on the number mentioned in the fraudulent mail. In any case the bank account would not be in the name of “Larsen & Toubro Ltd.”
Ø L&T letters will address job applicants with proper salutations including the last name (not with generic greetings)
Ø Please check if you receive calls from the L&T registered numbers or from a private number
We advise candidates not to respond to any fraudulent emails and not to make any payments.
In case of any doubt please contact L&T’s Toll Free No. 1800 2094545
Best Regards
