Offering to sell you Euro coins.

Twice I had people "asking" me how much a Euro or 2-Euro coin was worth, and expressing willingness to exchange it for less than its market value. Don't bother. They're counterfeit.

Scam - Zen Info Solutions

The company named Zen Info Solutions in Chennai is a scam. They collect money from people promising them an assured income of 20,000 rupees per month. They don't even pay u a single penny. Instead, they will send you a notice asking you to pay them 12,000 rupees as they have undergone a loss. Please don't fall for them. I am writing this because I am one of the victims. Their office is located in Perembur.
