Fake WorkIndia calls and apps
Callers using WorkIndia ask job seekers for file charges, licence copies, screen-sharing and plan payments. See the checks.
WorkIndia is an Indian job app that connects blue-collar and entry-level workers such as drivers, cooks and helpers with local employers. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be WorkIndia on phone calls, in apps and on WhatsApp. This page lists the lies they usually tell and how to check before you act.
Lines used in fake WorkIndia calls and apps
- Caller claims to be an employer who needs a refundable file charge for a security guard post
- Fake agent asks for a copy of your driving licence and money for a police check
- Caller wants a screen-share to fix an apparent problem with your profile
- Person says a premium plan must be bought for the job to be kept
How to verify it yourself
See employer details and applications inside the WorkIndia app, and decide for yourself after visiting the workplace or meeting the employer in a public place. Job seekers should not pay a form fee, medical test or police verification charge to a person who contacts them, and should ask for a receipt from an official organisation if a fee is genuinely part of a process. A document copy should be shared only after the job is clear. Never share OTPs.
Quick checklist
- Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
- Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
- Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
- If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.

Questions
A caller says they are from WorkIndia. Is it real?
Treat it as unverified. Hang up and contact WorkIndia through its official app or the number printed on your card, bill or official website. Never install an app or share an OTP because a caller asked.
Can WorkIndia ask me to install an app on a call?
Be very careful. Scammers use screen-sharing and fake apps to watch your screen and read OTPs. Install apps only from the official store listing that you find yourself, never from a link or a caller.
