Modus Operandi
I recently came across a job posting on Shine.com claiming to offer a ClickHouse Internship at Quantrail Data:
https://www.shine.com/jobs/data-engineer-clickhouse-internship/quantrail-data/17405280
Curious, I applied – and that’s when the scam revealed itself.
A person named Anish Kumar contacted me, claiming he was hiring for Indigo, not Quantrail. He asked me to pay ₹2,500 upfront for an “exam” to secure the internship. He even sent a suspicious link (Beware)
