The outbreak of recession has found many companies spring up, not with the intention of making animation or anything of that sort but to take the opportunity to get-rich-quick.
I was a victim of one such company, which i don't wish to name because the wounds haven't healed yet. but for future reference as where we should not apply i am creating this thread.
The industry should take necessary steps to weed out the scamsters who squeeze the talented people to think twice before applying anywhere.
with this i want to ask the many experts over here the guidance about some companies.
first company which came to my mind when i was writing this was a website where many of my friends have applied to what it seems to me as a scam
the company is called
http://thenysa.com
basically it doesn't look extra ordinary. but they have a list of "BUSINESS CONTACT (ANIMATION)" where they have put numerous names, if you google it, it goes no where including the "NYSA" returns zero results.
second:
it says it has operation in europe and india, but the contact address has only india.
third:
the section in careers says:
"Applicants wishing to apply for 3D DIVISION, COMPOSITING and EDITING DIVISIONS they are required to bare "ENTRANCE EXAM" Fee. This is our company rule and Condition."
"ENTRANCE EXAM Registration Fee are 45 euros only (INDIAN RUPEES 3150 INR. Inclusive of all taxes, All govt of india public examination rules are applicable)"
now my question is imagine 40 people are taking, then 40*3150 = 1, 26, 000
not every1 are selected so what happens to the money, do they show it to govt.??
are they giving a three year degree course where "ENTRANCE EXAM" is required?
they also have blocked list or rejected list who cannot apply for 5 years, why were they blocked or rejected??
finally:
there is no showreel of the work they have done.
