This email scam experience was shared by a facebook user. A couple of days back she received an interview call email claiming to be from Tata Group of Companies.
It seemed to be genuine but on further reading the person was asked to pay a sum of Rs 8900 towards the cost of interview process and later it will be refunded.

Please note that Tata and its group companies do not send you e-mails asking for your credit card number or other personally identifiable information. Nor do they charge or accept any amount or security deposit from any participant for any competition or marketing promotion or campaign.
