Same company, his name is Mr. John Prasad.
November 2014, I resigned my job and thought to go to farming, since he was one of my close colleague, I had discussed with him about my future plan in entering Farming and lead a common man life..
One day, he mentioned to join his "Data Digitization Project for Postal Department of Karnataka, Via TCS & Infosys Companies" along with his friend named Ms. Zipporah, who is inturn a friend (David) Daughter for John Prasad. Also one more person named Sudhakar had also involved in this project and has invested around INR 7 lakhs with the same lady..
John asked me to lend Rs 5 lakhs to Ms. Zipporah, as she was struggling with finances and in which he will return INR 2.5lakhs every 3 months. Everything was verbal so far, but my money transfer was made via Bank transfer..
After which somedays, later Zipporah came to us (Myslef, John, Sudhakar) and mentioned to start a BPO call center buisness, and will need some more funds to do the same..
John tried at multiple locations to raise funds but was unsuccessfull..
Meanwhile Zipporah came to me and asked to lend some money so that she will return the money with interest in a week time, this time the amount requested was more and she had sought around INR 11 lakhs with me, in which 2 lakhs was via bank transfer and rest by cash, which was collected by her friend Manohar.
One week past, we were searching office premises, nothing was finalized, later I asked for money, she mentioned that it will reach by end of next week, something has gone wrong, so was unable to pay ontime.. Yes, excused her and waited for next week..
Everytime the same answer reappeared and I lost my patience... Since Feb'15 to till date, she kept on assuring for repaying, till date neither in base money not the assured interest hasn't been returned..
She started to escape and was hiding, after a multiple SMS, she came to meet me, and this time, I got in writing from her saying she has collected so much of money and also received bank checks for total of INR 16.32 lakhs payed for her till date..
Later I produced the checks and all of them got bounced as no funds was available in her account..
Now if I call, she is assuring to pay and her every bit of timelines going waste as she is not repaying anything..
I'm only know her number and her John's residence address..
Recently I came to know, that the company name she has mentioned to us was never registered and she was bluffing to me till date and John is working with her in background to help her in all of this FRAUD activities..
Zipporah even threatened me saying she working with MLA's and big big people - as if nothing can affect her, and John is saying "I wont pay anything do what ever you want"..
Leagally what am I supposed to do with these people..? I need my money back..!!
If I go to court and file my case, what is my success rate.. what if these two give one more fake assurance and escape, as both of them are staying in rented homes, not sure when will they vacate and where will they go..?
What will be the Lawyer charges, If I need to file this case..?
Please guide me in this..

Hi All,
Based on your suggestions, I did the following..
1) Resubmitted the cheques twice and it got bounced both the times, still cheques are valid
2) Hired a Lawyer and sent a notice
3) Registered case in local police station
I got in return - threat from their lawyer
1) Please be noted that " a Case is filed on you regards to Harassment for money return"
2) and one suggestion "Are you OK if they Will give partial money and settle case outside"..
My Reply to her lawyer..
1) Please proceed and send reply to my notice
2) Not willing to get any partial settlement, need full settlement
My pain,
I have contacted them "only" over phone and email - they never responded apart from only one statement saying "I'll be back" from Zipporah by SMS.. and this is What I got in return..!!
Now, they are neither picking phone nor replying anything and their lawyer threatened me over phone saying they have "filed a case on me for Money refund Harassment "
What am I supposed to do..?
Kindly help me in this..
Regards
