this recruitment fraud is very rampant these days. This the version 2.0 of Nigerian scam.
I encountered multiple instances in last 2-4 month, strange thing, these companies originates (HQ) in either Vadodara or Gurgaon.
Height was - One joker didn't even want to share the company name but want detail like my adhar card, cowin ID/vaccine state, etc ... says it mandatory for application :D
