A female MBA fresher claimed that she was duped by an alleged fake job offer and had to move to Delhi. However, after she arrived at the address, no office was found, according to the viral LinkedIn post. The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Bodh Gaya graduate added that she spent ₹75,000 for travel, accommodation and other related things to move to Delhi for an alleged job offer.

The woman further said that she decided to go public about the incident after being blocked by the MD and CEO of the company.
“I’ve been sitting with this for weeks and I’m not sure if I should speak. But rent is due. And silence doesn’t pay. I’m a 2026 MBA graduate from IIM Bodh Gaya. Got an offer letter. Join date. Promise,” Sanya’s post read.
“So I packed my bags and moved to Delhi – alone – spending *75,000 on relocation. Because I believed there was a confirmed job waiting for me.”
What happened in Delhi?
Sanya shared that she found herself in an office after moving to Delhi. When she contacted the company, she said she was told the office was leased, so she would be working from home.
“On May 4th I stood in front of the office address I was given. There was no office. I waited two hours. I called. I left a message. No answer. A few days later I was told the office was ‘off lease’ – something I never thought to say before I uprooted my life.”
She added that in the end her start date was moved to July. However, no specific date was mentioned in the post.
“Then came the assurance: Employee ID is being generated. Work from home will be provided from May 11th. All issues will be resolved by EOD. Wait 2-3 days. Weeks later I was told, ‘Unable to join before July.’
“If they had told me the truth a week ago, I would never have made these expenses. One honest conversation would have changed everything. Instead, I let the hours – and the money – run out. I’m going back to looking for opportunities. I’m resilient enough for that. But the €75,000 won’t disappear because the job is gone. The money spent on relocation for a promise is still knowingly broken.”
“Just silence…”
The MBA graduate further stated that she was promised relocation compensation by the company, which she said remains outstanding.
At the time of sharing the incident, Sanya said she had yet to receive any message from the company regarding her alleged work.
“When I asked Mr. Virendra Pandey, MD & CEO, PIB Insurance Brokers Private Limited, for the relocation compensation he promised himself, he blocked me. Every number. Every platform. No call. No email. Just silence,” the post concluded.
