[Longer, comprehensive post here]
First, check out the video by Star News: (all Hindi)
Speak Asia person says client names can't be disclosed but still names Bata and ICICI Bank. Bata writes in saying there's no such survey relationship. ICICI Bank says no also.
Speak Asia says they use ING Vysya Bank to remit funds. ING Vysya totally refuses any relationship.
And then Aaj Tak's expose:
The channels are doing their bit. But if history proves right, people who don't want to listen, will not listen. This thing is going to blow up, and blow up big.

But, Thank God, I came to know about the scam.
There are many more fraud business like online home based jobs, mlm etc.

>Its not a scam, I already earned so much money on speakasia. Its awesome. Star tv enters in panel business that's why the spread such rumours, but all speakasians know what the truth is. Hate star news.

SPEAKASIA is not FRAUD …… Ppls are just having queries there is not proof that its fraud, My friends are earning well form it ….. So there is no proof so you cannot say that its fraud….. All TV news should take in mind …. better use proper language and stop such FALTU news or pin pointing others … ur job is to make aware not to say its fraud…..
speakasis is not fraud !!! speakasis is not fraud !!! speakasis is not fraud !!! :)

The RBI has issued a circular specifically ordered all banks to freeze the accounts of Speakasia and their likes and also banning banks from remitting any funds outside india on behalf of its customers to Speak asia like organizations. RBI has also warned banks that they would be liable to pay in the event customers lose money in such schemes.
I guess the banks dont have a choice…

No such circular exists. Everything the RBI does is at http://www.rbi.org.in. And there is no such circular there till now.

Like it or not, the cat is out of the bag, speakasia ne government se panga lia hai, ab bhugto.
