I am senthilkumar, working as a software engineer in chennai.
I was referred by WWICS consultancy to vidyasthaan(Manik rajagopalan) for 3 laksh financial security documents, which is required for General Tier 1 UK visa. So I approached Manik rajagopalan(initially i approached Front office staff Aishwaria, she forwarded me to Manik Rajagopalan) for 3 lakhs Finacial security document(FSD) for applying General Tier 1 UK visa. He asked me Rupees 57000(Rs 50000 refundable deposit after the visa process over + Rs 5000 Service Charge + Rs 2 thousand account opening). He told that he will give the FSD in 15 days, If i pay that amount Rs 57000.
As i do not have money, I told him that i can only pay through the credit card. So he asked his office staff abdullah to take me to PARIS to swip the credit card. He took me to Subedar Travel, which is in Paris. There myself and Abdullah went and Swiped my credit card for Rs 55000 and Rs 2000 i paid as cash. Then they took me to West mambalam brach Punjab National Bank. There they opened the account account for me and deposited rs 2000. And Manik told that he will deposit the Rs 50000 by next day, since he will get the money from SUBEDHAR travels by next day. So the next day i called him he told that he has deposited the Rs50000 in my PNB account. And he will have the passbook with them, Since they have deposited 2.50 lakhs in to my account.
After 15 days, i asked for Finacial document. He told that he is working on that and will get it soon. this was the status, he gave me whenever i communicated him. I was keep calling him in regular interval for 2 months. After 2nd month, i told him that i do not want the FSD and give me back the Rs 57000. He asked me to sign the closure form to close the account. I signed the closure form and he gave the ICICI cheque Rs 57000. And he asked me put the cheque after 2 days. I sent the cheque for collection after 2days and after got the confirmation from him.
But the cheque was bounced. I communicated him about this, he asked me to wait for couple of days to send the cheque again it for collection.
I gave the money on September 30, 2009. He still did not pay the money.
Finally i came to know that he is a cheater. if i approach the police they will get money from 2 parties and easily this culprit will escape. To give the complaint directly to comminsonar of police, the amount should be huge.
So i am trying to take the legal action through lawyer.
This is my sad story.
I am not sure, whether i will get the money or not. But i will teach the lesson to him in one or another way.
Please mail me(
