Fake TCS job interview e-mail - Scam

Here is another fraud e-mail received by my Indian friend. Updating his e-mail as it is for others to be aware of. This is too much, simply asking to deposit money before he attends an interview :-)

Refer to my series of articles on scam/ fraud emails for more information on e-mail scams.

Anyway, in summary don’t entertain this kind of email if you have received one. It’s FAKE/ FRAUD.
