Bursting a scam called Lingua Mart Translation company

This is very import. This is related to someone's livelihood. This is related to people associated with writing, media and communication field. One of my friends who happens to be a translator is a victim of a fraud company called Lingua Mart (linguamart@hotmail.com). This company is based out of South Extension, New Delhi (Full address as per Sulekha.com is #504 South Extension Tower Masjid Moth, Part 2, South Extension Part II, Delhi - 110049) and (As per his website, RZ G - 3, 2nd Floor, Opposite ICICI Bank, Mahavir Enclave, Palam Dabri Road, New Delhi - 110045, India). The owner of this company is Mr Jeetender Kumar (At least he claims so). His number is  9999210917 and 9999210918. 

My friend was asked to do a translation assignment and he was promised to be paid a lump sum amount of Rs 10,000. He completed the assignment within the deadline. Meanwhile another assignment came and again the commitment was for Rs 10,000. He asked for the payment of the first assignment but Jeetender Kumar of Lingua Mart told him that he would pay once both the assignments would complete. 

My friend had urgent requirement of money but he had to agree on this and he completed the second assignment as well. Shockingly, Jeetender Kumar of Lingua Mart did not pay him and promised that he would deposit amount in his bank account next day. Next day when my friend called him he said he had asked his Relationship Manager in ICICI Bank, Mahavir Enclave Branch to deposit the amount in his account. Everyday he used to make a new excuse and delayed the payment. Finally one day Jeetender Kumar of Lingua Mart stopped taking my friend's call. 

Then he did some basic research on internet to know about Jeetender Kumar of Lingua Mart. and shockingly, he found that Jeetender Kumar of Lingua Mart is a serial cheater. Some of his complaints can be found in complaint forums as well.

Lingua Mart


This snapshot clearly shows Jeetender Kumar of Lingua Mart has cheated Vivek as well. That too some 3 years back. It means this cheating is going on for years. You can visit this page of Sulekha.com to see this for yourself. 

My intention is clear. I want to aware people about this cheating company called Lingua Mart. And the fraud person called Jetender Kumar. I hope no other translator or dubbing artist or video artist get cheated by this fraud person.

 If you agree with this, please help spread this message to all who are in the field of communication/ content/ translation.
