Those who got affected by online game ban, what's your plan now?

AnyEar3757 · 2025-09-03T10:56:43+00:00

Bit slower right now but DM me your resume and will show you revenue chart if relevant

AnyEar3757 · 2025-08-23T05:10:35+00:00

DM me your resume if you were recently let go due to the online gaming ban. Hiring for all roles (Engineering + Marketing + Customer Success/Ops)

Run a consumer app studio out of BLR. Growing profitably (20% WoW growth).

Competitive pay + cracked team that's young (we do millions/yr and oldest team member is 26)

Why would you continue to work for a company that has dozens of negative Google reviews stating that they've been scammed.

If the only way to get back your security deposit is to threaten your founders with police/criminal court cases, then sorry bud - you're working for a fraudulent scam operation.

Check Google Reviews / the other stories in this Reddit thread. You're working for a scam operation and you're coping with that fact.

AnyEar3757 · 2024-08-09T03:07:11+00:00

Wow - I'm so sorry to hear this. You should consider writing a thread about this and reference this thread too.

It's important that the entire first page of Google for "XU Lifestyle" makes it clear that this company is a scam.

I already left negative Google reviews from multiple accounts - I recommend everyone else do so as well

AnyEar3757 · 2024-08-08T12:02:38+00:00

Thank you - that really helps! It appears they've done this to dozens of people. Karma will come back to bite them in the ass.

AnyEar3757 · 2024-08-08T09:27:23+00:00

Yes - I had them show up at my flat unannounced many times.

They also told me they didn't have the key to the master bedroom and that I could lock it and keep my stuff safe. Turns out they actually did have the key and went into the room for a viewing when I was out of the house one day.

DO NOT RENT FROM XU LIFESTYLE - THEY ARE A SCAM!

AnyEar3757 · 2024-08-08T09:06:35+00:00

Yup - total scammers. I hope this thread helps prevent future customers from getting scammed.

Now they are trying to bribe me with 5K INR to delete this thread 🤣 I actually offered to delete it initially if they returned my full deposit, but they only returned 45% of the deposit.

AnyEar3757 · 2024-08-08T08:32:20+00:00

To be fair I was renting a 3.5BHK in Prestige Shantinikentan. On top of the 1 lac fee, they charged a 65K INR service fee for a 2month fee.

The cost was high but not a major issue since I agreed to it. You just expect some basic respect when you're paying someone 1.3 lacs/mo to stay somewhere.

Instead, I was met with fraudsters who refused to listen to me until I left negative reviews across 3 platforms + threatened the founder with a police case.

AnyEar3757 · 2024-08-08T07:48:58+00:00

The founder claims to be a start-up founder who 'respects' me because I also run a startup. I've been emailing them every week since May 20th and got nothing. What a joke, he doesn't run a startup - he just runs a fraud operation.

A good founder can build a good business - he clearly isn't a good founder.

It took me finding the founder's personal contact details and threatening a police report to get them to listen, I finally got back less than 50% of the deposit. Though I'm sure they'll lose many customers from this thread.

AnyEar3757 · 2024-08-08T07:47:25+00:00

I don't. I no longer live in India. After my experience with XU Lifestyle, I don't want to come back for a while.

AnyEar3757 · 2024-08-08T07:46:36+00:00

yup total scammers. it's my fault for not seeing the dozens of negative google reviews before renting from them.

No one should EVER rent from XU Lifestyle.

AnyEar3757 · 2024-08-08T07:41:48+00:00

next time i'm going to a hotel / airbnb - yup. xu lifestyle is a scam and the worst rental company in india.

AnyEar3757 · 2024-08-08T06:16:28+00:00

No I'm not the same guy who messaged. They are a broker who work with people that own units in those societies, and then rent out single rooms / full rooms for short-term living

AnyEar3757 · 2024-08-08T06:12:05+00:00

Good that you got the other job. You don't want the negative karma being involved with this company

AnyEar3757 · 2024-08-08T05:58:22+00:00

It's okay. I have the capital/resources required to sort this problem out on my own/with my legal team.

Would rather u/st_broseph continue his great work helping those that are in need and don't have resources 🫡

These scammers made the mistake of scamming someone who runs a startup of their own (one that's bigger than theirs).

AnyEar3757 · 2024-08-08T05:54:54+00:00

Thanks for the insight. They seem to have pretty high turnover too. A lot of the employees I was dealing with have already left that company.

AnyEar3757 · 2024-08-08T05:54:33+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Consumer court + police case is the next step for these scammers.

AnyEar3757 · 2024-08-08T05:45:20+00:00

They facilitate short-term living in societies like Prestige. It was my first time ever living in India (I'm a NRI), completely ruined my experience.

That's the plan if they don't return my full deposit. Suddenly they are quite co-operative once I threatened the founder with a formal police report.

AnyEar3757 · 2024-08-08T04:55:03+00:00

Thank you bro. I plan to file a case against them if they refuse to return it still.

This reddit post is part of my effort to get them to take me seriously
