Rambabu Productions just made initial payments and after that they provided us a bank transfer receipt stating that money has been transferred. When the money did not reach the bank account in Poland. After two days, it appeared that both the bank transfer receipts were forged. Polish people too believed that the bank receipt is true and continued with their work. Now, all of them are left without payment.
