Maid Agency reviews and complaints

1. I would like to draw attention of people planning to hire maid through placement agencies not to fall in their trap. I have been made fool by by one Super Placement agency claiming to have their office in Ghaziabad. They took away 23000/ from me and the maid vanished in one hour .The phone are either switched OFF or no reply is received. The details of this agency are
(i) Maid Name-Rinku Biswas(kumari)
(ii) Placement agency-Super Placement Services, E-260, Bhopra, Near tulsi niketan, Ghaziabad(as per their address given to me)
(iii) Owner Name:Santosh Singh(Mob No [protected])
(iv) Agent Name: Vivek(Mob No [protected])

2. They will always ask for money in cash.Please do not get carried away with their talks, they have fooled people like us.If planning to hire do not give any money till police verification is complete.They willbring the maid at night and then e take pity to make them sleep overnight, this can be real dangerous.Because of our requirement they will say that they will take the maid if we are not making the payment, please let them do so.The number [protected] is still being flashed on internet sites.Please we aare of these fraud agencies.If required visit their office ask for the probable list of maids with them, interview them and then take a call after going back home and that too after police verification.

They are a fraud agency claiming they provide domestic help and other services located at Whitefield Bangalore. They take money from you and then neither do they send any one or even if they do they send maids who are trained thieves. Beware of them! They are also listed in just-dial and sulekha with names like Vyshnavi Services or Vyshnavi Enterprises

The owner of this Anthony Manpower and Employment Agency (Anthony) at Kovan/Hougang Area oversells before a customer signs on the line. Ultimately, the maids do not match what he promised (and said he personally interviewed) in terms of verbal ability and other work attitude areas. These are minor - after the third failed maid (first did not arrive, the next two were really horrible and were return almost immediately), we decided to change maid agency. This is when the horror began.

1. The previous maids (first maid that arrived) was still not issued with a maid permit by the agency. This is apparently done by the agency to allow maximum time to juggle all his various maids when they are "rejected". However, this disallows the customer (me) to change an agency as MOM would not allow me to issue another maid when the earlier ones are not issued.

2. When I pushed the agency to eissue the earlier maids, I realised that my returned maid (which is placed under my name and maid levy paid by me) had already been working in another home whose maid has also not been eissued. The agency told me this.

3. Before the agency revealed the breach in item (2) above, he tried to shout to threaten us away. When we revealed the authorities are going to be involved, he revealed this breach.

4. The maid agency did not return calls, did not pick up calls for extended periods when it came to the placement fee refund. He would shout at us to try to frighten us into not pushing for payment.

5. After an extended ordeal, Agency issue a cheque from what he claimed to be his wife's account. The cheque bounced.

6. The agency's phone then went into no pickup mode again and there were also no further responses to text messages. I will be lodging the complaint to the authorities including those pertaining to cheque fraud.
