Official Public Caution Notice issued by Journi Trail™ DMC (Journi Trail™ DMC Technology India Pvt Ltd) regarding unauthorized portals, fraudulent job scams, fake review schemes, and brand impersonation.
1. Public Advisory on Brand Impersonation
Journi Trail™ highly values our relationship with our stakeholders, travellers, partner agents, and the trust that they place in us. Unfortunately, we are aware of illegal and fraudulent use of Journi Trail’s name, logo, identity, and reputation by unknown persons/entities in scams charging for employment, demanding processing deposits, or offering deceptive compensation for providing online reviews and paid social ratings.
2. Blacklisted Domains & Unofficial Portals
Scammers and unauthorized entities have created imitation websites and fraudulent online portals to deceive job seekers and the public into paying money under the guise of employment or agency verification. Please be advised that Journi Trail™ offers no such unauthorized employment or investment schemes, and these fraudulent websites have absolutely no connection, affiliation, or association with Journi Trail™.
3. Zero-Fee Recruitment & No Security Deposit Policy
Journi Trail™ will never ask you to pay or make a deposit, including any refundable security deposit to be paid into bank accounts, for employment purposes, interview scheduling, or equipment provision. Do not pay any fee or deposit to individuals, placement agencies, or external employment portals on the pretext of participating in the Journi Trail™ interview process or seeking employment with us.
4. Official Email Communication Channels
Journi Trail™ does not send offer letters or employment notices from Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, or any other free public email accounts, nor do we demand fees in lieu of an employment offer or interview. If you receive such emails, please do not pay any fee or deposit.
For the avoidance of doubt, any official communications regarding employment opportunities or operational queries with Journi Trail™ will originate solely from our verified corporate domains (@journitrail.com) or our official applicant tracking system. Candidates and partners should remain cautious of misleading communications, and we encourage you to cease communications immediately if something feels off about your interactions.
5. Reporting Scams to Authorities
If you believe you are a victim of an impersonation scam, paid review fraud, or fraudulent employment solicitation, please log a complaint immediately with your local police and cybercrime authorities (e.g., cybercrime.gov.in) for necessary legal action to be taken. You may also report fraudulent web entities to national consumer protection authorities and trade regulators.
6. System Security & Disclaimer of Liability
Journi Trail™ takes the security of its systems and privacy obligations very seriously[cite: 104]. These scams are operated externally by unauthorized third parties and are in no way connected to our systems or indicative of any data breach within Journi Trail™ systems. Journi Trail™ is not responsible or liable for any claims, losses, damages, or expenses resulting from interactions with fraudulent third-party portals or scam actors.
