Regarding Phishing Attacks

Also note, there are phishing attacks and requests for help using our CEO Aniketh Dsouza’s name happening.

Most of the people who received these were our employees and they just decided to double check with our CEO if it was genuine. This is how we were apprised of this scam.

Request you to please be vigilant with who you deal. There are no free lunches. Remote jobs which you feel do not really add any value to businesses are ‘red flags’ or signals that you should be aware of. Scamsters will take advantage of you if you aren’t aware of it.
