We have started out in 2019 just as an unregistered partnership firm to provide M&A consultancy only (Copy has been provided to cyber police). We got some clients & decide to start LLP business in 2022 only. In 2022 our website was very organic & simple looking created using google sites (Our hosting server & Godaddy domain details provided to Cyber police already) but we have decided to start full-fledged Law firm only this year in october (Our client details & services we have provided to our geniune clients already submitted to police). In last week of october 2023 we have hired a coder or IT expert to create a proper website for our firm with name barutha&barutha.com but he advised us that he can convert our old www.BaruthaLLP.com website into good looking portal in 1 day, with small fee charge. On 28th october, we have asked him to create a career section for some hiring of 10 employees only but he superficialy created large opportunities for which we have emailed him to delete it (We have supplied this email copy to cyber police also) but he replied, do not worry i will delete it & i am just checking the portal efficiency. You guys can also check our Managing partner linkedin page he had also posted about job opening but didn't mention any superficial number. After 10-20 minutes, he then uploaded some fake pictures & profiling of team members and this is the moment we came to know that he has misused us. Even he got the linkedin access of our partners because he wanted to do some social media integration with website and changed some of the Linkedin's profile pictures of our partners without seeking consent (Abuse report from linkedin is submitted to cyber police). We have emailed hi again & he again replied that some fake pictures will be better for attraction (Copy of email has been supplied to cyber police). We have asked him to delete it immediately and handover the email id & password to us but he never replied (Copy of email supplied to cyber police). He even managed to changed the linkedin password of one of our partner. Moreover Mobile number he has provided to us went unreachable. He started threating us that if we don't pay him 10 Bitcoin as ransom he will ruin our career completely. And he did it successful. On legallyIndia platorm everyone is showing hatred to us & even we have received so many hatred emails. we initially ignored this and started taking actions to strike down the site. We now came to know that he is from sri lanka. We have been honestly doing our work from last 4 years and have some GST, M&A and taxation clients. Why we will do this to damage ourselves. What can we achieve by creating a fake superficial website. It all happened so quickly that we were in chaos. We have now decided to file Criminal FIR and Court Case to proceed further. Even that hacker is constantly updating our page and seeking ransom. Our 4 years of silent hardwork completely ruined now. We are afraid that none of our partners might take a wrong step on his/her life. We want all the members please do not spread hatred. please listen our side too. Thank you !!
