Release Letter And Profile Questions: Fill & Download for Free

Yes, I have.First of all, the scam was an offer for an online typing job at Lectrema Technology.Where I live, if you are looking for online typing job, you will get a call from this company. They will say that if you want to earn extra money, you can do the typing/online form filling job and earn around 45 to 50k per month.The sum of money made me a bit suspicious, so I thought to go ahead and ask some questions. I asked for registration fees. They said I didn’t have to pay anything at the moment, I just had to sign an online agreement. They would provide the job, which was filling 2,000 forms, that I had to complete in 20 days. Once I completed it, they would do a QC check. 1,800 forms had to be completely correct for them to pay me RS 25 per form, and then the payment would be released in 7 days.In case I didn’t complete the forms, I would have to pay a registration fee of RS 4,100 to them.Once I said okay, they sent one agreement through mail, which was a scanned copy of a RS 20 stamp paper with the terms and conditions written on it. I had to click a link to sign. Once I signed, I got the following in the mail. Note, the stamp paper was not signed anywhere physicallyNow, they would share a website with me, along with a password to log in and start filling the forms. Then, I noticed the forms had no meaning at all. The names, address, and the IDs seemed to be from Mars.Hence, even a professional typist would find it difficult to go on typing at full speed. In one hour, even with my good speed, I could complete only 5 forms. Hence, 2,000 forms in 20 days was out of the question. Hence, I would have been trapped.More suspiciously, I also started receiving calls from different numbers from Gujrat, saying that if I needed help with typing, they are professional typists, and if I paid them RS 7 per form, they could do it for me in 3 days. But, payment was to be made upfront.My question was how in the world did these people know that I needed help with typing?I left it and almost forgot about it until 21 days later, when I received a call from someone who addressed himself as an advocate. He demanded that I pay 5,200 INR to their account. I asked for the details of their bank account, and I received this:I was, again, a bit suspicious, since I felt that the firm was completely confident that I would not be able to complete the work, and they had kept an advocate ready to handle my case. Also, the amount was varying in every paragraph.Moreover, I checked the profile of Mr Deep Jain on LinkedIn, and found that the scammer had used his profile picture without his knowledge.On ignoring the mail, I received the second letter:The interesting fact is that this firm has different lawyers to make phone calls, write letters, and give notice (a huge legal team for INR 5K???).Now, I scammed the scammer.I called them and said I wanted to pay, but I wanted to pay in cash. Hence, I wanted to visit Surat. I told them it would help if they could provide the correct address of the firm to me. They tried to convince me that I needed to transfer money through a bank account. I said I didn't have one. However, even with persistence, they didn't divulge the address of the firm. They only said if I visited Jolly Tower, someone would collect the money from me.A few days later, I received an SMS.You can now see the desperation. All of the SMS messages were being sent from bulk advertising from Airtel.So, I called them again and asked if they could share a copy of the court order with me, which they were sending to the police station near me, so that I could take a print copy and hand it over to the police station myself to avoid wasting time. Also, if they could provide me the address of the company, I could reach my advocate on time to return them the money.From then on, they were not taking my calls.If anyone wants to acquire more knowledge about this firm, just Google the Lectrema Technology’s website, and you will find how these people are looting money from innocent job seekers by threatening to sue them with utter consequences. Not many will survive the fear and will end up paying this fraud firm.

Pic Source: GoogleThe answer to this question depends on what things you have faked.If you have faked you previous employment credentials, then be rest assured that they will eventually find out. MNCs do have a robust background checking team who take care of all employment related stuff. These people call, mail and if necessary visit the previous companies to get a thorough check of every previous employer you mentioned. They also stress upon Release letter from each company. I have seen cases where unavailability of release letter led to the termination of current employment.But in case you have faked something in your job profile like you were handling a team, or you used to do Automation stuff then its a bit different scenario. These things are not reported by any HR to outside companies. Only your reporting manager knows what job profile you had. So if you have already talked with your previous manager regarding what new job profile you have inserted in your CV, then there is nothing to fear atleast from background check. But I would suggest you start imbibing withing you whatever you have mentioned in the CV. Sometimes it may so happen that you face a real scenario of what you had faked. Then you will have a bitter face loss before the entire management.As for example,suppose you had mentioned you know excel macros..i would suggest start developing yourself learning the same as early as possible.All the best. Keep up the faith.RegardsRahul

Yes. Many companies have been: (1) threatened with legal action, (2) pretty much forced to pay what they already should have, and/or (3) sued for using fonts in unlicensed ways. There are apps for managing fonts both for individuals (Suitcase Fusion, FontExplorer X, and others) and across organizations (Universal Type Server, FontExplorer Server), and legal compliance concerns are part of their appeal. There are entire businesses set up around font license compliance consulting.Here are 14 lawsuits from 2009 to present, for illegal font use—three of them involving portions/subsidiaries of NBC Universal:Font Diner sues Haribo over packaging design of its Halloween sweets (Nov 2017 for $150,000)A Different “Type” of Lawsuit (Berthold vs Target over Akzidenz-Grotesk, Oct 2017, $150,000 per infringement)Font Maker Sues Universal Music over Vamps logo (Hype for Type vs Universal Music Group over Vamps logo usage, Aug 2017, $1.25M plus destruction of infringing materials)Berthold says Volvo violated its copyright regarding typeface (Jun 2017, $30,000/day)My Little Pony toymaker sued over alleged font misuse - BBC News (Font Bros vs Hasbro over Generation B, Jan 2016, $150,000 per infringement)Berthold sues Scripps Networks Interactive (PDF download) (Aug 2014)Microsoft Sued for $1.5 Million Over Hebrew Type Font (Sep 2013) rFontDiner v CafePress (April 2013, $900,000+)Mixpanel sued for $2 million over font in shared Tumblr theme by Font Diner (Mar 2013, $2M)NBCUniversal Sued for $3.5 Million Over Font Theft...Again (Exclusive) / NBC Universal sued for $3.5 million for font license infringement by Brand Design a.k.a. House Industries (July 2012 $3.5M)Lawsuit Claims TNT’s “Falling Skies” Has a Font Problem by +ISM Studios (Jan 2012, $200,000)—this was settled out of court, details unknown.Copyright and Web Fonts: Santorum Web Developer Sued for Typeface Infringement in Typotheque v Raise Digital (Aug 2011, $2M)Harry Potter and the Dangers of Font Non-Compliance / NBC Universal Accused of Million-Dollar 'Harry Potter' Font Theft by P22 (Jul 2011)—this was settled out of court, details unknown.Font Bureau clashes with NBC over font licensing (Oct 2009, $2M)Lawsuit details and settlement (Feb 2010)Sometimes these things stop short of a lawsuit, but can still be pretty unpleasant. I don’t actually buy the old saying “there is no such thing as bad publicity”:Anti-piracy agency's logo broke copyright - TelegraphThere exist multiple online scanners that look for fonts posted online or used in web sites. Some are owned by major retailers/distributors, but at least one is available to any type designer or foundry that wants to pay for it (license infringement monitoring/DMCA service aka Fontdata aka TypeSnitch).Heck, I won’t name the offending party, but in one of my day jobs, we once got a nasty cease-and-desist email from a lawyer from a font company. The lawyer claimed we were using two different fonts, in different ways, illegally. He was wrong, of course, but we still got the letter. (And never heard back from the lawyer when we explained how he was mistaken.)Cases such as the one Sergey Yakunin cites of Sberbank with Fedra Sans and Fedra Serif are not unusual, it is just that one usually doesn’t hear about them. Often they are pursued without major public attention. Lots of negotiations behind the scenes, the foundry usually gets paid what they should have in the first place, and maybe not everyone is happy, but at least things are resolved in some vaguely reasonable way.Here are a couple more high-profile unlicensed use cases that are well-known in the industry (discussed in public forums, etc.) but did not get major media attention:UPS unlicensed use (via FutureBrand) of FontShop’s FF Dax. FutureBrand admitted nothing, but the settlement agreement did pay FontShop $17,500. See the anonymized press release and ensuing discussion: FontShop and Unnamed Firm Reach Agreement (2006, Typophile via Yves Peters)Starbucks unlicensed use of P22 CezanneUK Home Office used personal-use-only “Plane Crash” font without license: Font designer could sue over “go home” vansFor more like that, see also:ILLEGAL USE OF TYPEFACE!Hidden Typography exposedAnd finally, a general piece on font piracy, from Wired Magazine.ADDENDUMThe original question featured these details in a comment: I am starting a new company. I have found a font that I want to use on my website (est. traffic 10 000/month). I have purchased desktop license, though if I understand correctly, I am not allowed to use it on my website. Do companies actually get sued for using fonts illegally?For your particular case, I'll point out that the licensing required, at that volume level, tends to be pretty cheap. You're going to waste more money-as-time reading the links in this post than just getting legal, either for a one-time fee, or something like $25/year (low-end rate for Adobe Typekit). Or even free if you use Google Fonts, though you won’t be able to get the commercial fonts you are talking about.Also, illegal use of a font on a web site is something you are doing in public, and accessible to web crawlers and the like—as previously mentioned above. I know of at least one general-purpose service for scanning for illegal font use, and I know of at least one foundry that runs their own bots to scan for their fonts being used illegally. So if I was going to use a font illegally, the one way I definitely would not try to do so would be on a web site as a web font!
