Fintech fake-offer exposé

A YouTube video posted two days ago says a company called Zorvyn FinTech sent students internship letters promising a ₹35,000 monthly stipend, work-from-home roles, and a ₹11 lakh-per-year pre-placement offer, then argues the documents show multiple warning signs. (youtube.com) The video’s description says the letterhead lacked a Corporate Identification Number, or CIN, which is the registration number used to identify companies in India, and says the offer was analyzed “line by line.” Search results for the video show it framed the missing CIN as a central red flag. (youtube.com) India’s Ministry of Corporate Affairs runs a public “Company Master Details” database that lets anyone check whether a company is registered and view its basic records. Guides built around that portal say the search can confirm a company’s CIN, incorporation date, status, and registered office address. (mcacdm.nic.in, cleartax.in) Search results also show a live site at zorvyn.org describing Zorvyn as a fintech company for startups and small and medium enterprises, but that marketing page alone does not establish whether a recruiter, offer letter, or internship posting is authentic. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs database is the official place to verify corporate registration in India. (zorvyn.org, mcacdm.nic.in) The story lands as colleges and job platforms keep warning students about fake internships and job offers. The Times of India reported on June 19, 2025 that students in Bengaluru were billed for online internship opportunities that never materialized. (timesofindia.indiatimes.com) Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee issued an advisory about fake internship and training offers three weeks ago, telling students to verify opportunities through official channels. Internshala’s safety page says applicants should not pay training fees, security deposits, test fees, laptop fees, or documentation charges to employers. (jagranjosh.com, internshala.com) Large employers publish similar warnings. Tata Consultancy Services says scammers use social media, fake agencies, and unofficial emails to advertise jobs, internships, and training opportunities, and says the company never asks for money for offers, interviews, training, or internships. (tcs.com, tcs.com) University career offices describe the same pattern in plainer terms: if a recruiter asks for money, bank details, or check-cashing, walk away. The University of Washington’s career center says fraudulent job and internship offers often try to collect payments or financial account information from students. (careers.uw.edu, careers.uw.edu) The practical check is simple and public: verify the company in the Ministry of Corporate Affairs database, match the recruiter’s email to an official domain, and confirm the role appears on the company’s own careers page. That is the gap the video tries to fill as students circulate screenshots of high-stipend offers that look real at first glance. (mcacdm.nic.in, internshala.com, tcs.com)
