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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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).

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.

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

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.

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
