Agartala: iLogitron Technologies Private Limited has issued a public advisory after detecting a fresh wave of recruitment-related fraud targeting unemployed youths in Tripura.
During a press conference in Agartala, company officials revealed that several individuals have been falsely presenting themselves as representatives of the firm. These fraudsters allegedly promise jobs and then demand money from candidates under different pretexts.
According to the company, such incidents have surfaced repeatedly over the past several years. However, recent cases indicate that the scam continues to affect job seekers across the state.
Human Resources Head Soumyadip Dhar said the company has observed multiple instances of forged recruitment documents. These include fake interview call letters, fabricated appointment orders, counterfeit offer letters, and unauthorized communications carrying the company’s branding.
He stated that many candidates believed these documents were genuine and spent money on travel and other expenses before discovering the fraud.
Fraudsters Demand Money in the Name of Employment
Company officials said scammers typically seek payments ranging from ₹100 to more than ₹5,000.
They allegedly collect money under various labels, including registration fees, interview processing charges, document verification fees, and placement assistance costs.

Dhar emphasized that iLogitron Technologies never charges candidates at any stage of recruitment.
He also clarified that the company has not authorized any agent, broker, consultant, or third party to collect money on its behalf.
Official Hiring Takes Place Through Verified Channels
The company urged candidates to rely only on official recruitment announcements.
Officials stated that all job notifications appear exclusively on the company’s website and official LinkedIn page. For entry-level positions, the company primarily recruits through structured campus placement programs conducted with educational institutions.
The management advised job seekers, parents, and colleges to remain cautious and verify any suspicious communication before taking action.
Candidates can contact the company directly through its official career email if they receive questionable recruitment messages.
Company Initiates Legal Action Against Fraud Networks
Founder and Director Abhishek Dhar disclosed that the company has launched legal action against several groups allegedly operating recruitment scams under the iLogitron brand name.
According to him, the company submitted formal complaints along with documentary evidence and victim testimonies to both the Cyber Crime Police Station and NCC Police Station.
Dhar said the recruitment fraud has been surfacing intermittently for nearly five to six years. However, recent investigations helped the company gather substantial evidence to pursue the matter more aggressively.
He revealed that nearly 16 young job seekers recently visited the company’s office carrying forged appointment letters. During discussions with company officials, they admitted paying money to intermediaries after receiving assurances of employment.
The company has also reported the matter through the Government of India’s official grievance redressal platform.
iLogitron’s Contribution to Tripura’s Digital Ecosystem
Established in 2018 under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, iLogitron Technologies operates in the fields of information technology and e-Governance solutions.
The company maintains operations in Tripura and Bengaluru and has contributed to several digital initiatives of the Tripura Government. Its projects include the State Single Window Portal and the Change of Land Use Portal.
Apart from technology development, the company also focuses on local talent development. It employs graduates from educational institutions across Tripura and supports the growth of the state’s emerging technology ecosystem.
Public Urged to Stay Vigilant
The company appealed to citizens to remain alert and avoid making payments to anyone claiming to offer employment opportunities in exchange for money.
Officials stressed that genuine recruitment depends on qualifications, skills, and merit rather than financial transactions or middlemen.
The company further advised people to report suspicious recruitment communications immediately and verify all hiring-related information through official channels.
With cyber-enabled job scams becoming increasingly sophisticated, iLogitron believes greater public awareness can help prevent financial losses and protect aspiring professionals from exploitation.
News Analysis
The warning issued by iLogitron Technologies highlights a growing challenge facing job seekers across Tripura and other parts of India. Recruitment scams often target unemployed youths who are eager to secure employment opportunities.
The latest revelations indicate that fraudsters are not only using fake documents but are also exploiting the credibility of established companies. The fact that at least 16 candidates reportedly approached the company with forged appointment letters suggests a well-organized network.
The incident also underscores the importance of digital awareness. As more companies shift recruitment processes online, job seekers must verify communications through official websites and authenticated channels.
For Tripura’s expanding IT sector, maintaining trust in recruitment systems remains critical. Prompt legal action and public awareness campaigns can play an important role in reducing such fraudulent activities and safeguarding aspiring professionals.
