Scammer Rajib Singh - BDM Eastedge promotes campaigns without any advance fee and contradicts himself in the offer

LinkedIn profile picture Rajib SinghThe scammer Rajib Singh contradicts himself in the spam email he sent out on November 24. He promotes a NON-VOICE project without any UPFRONT payment for the centers. If you read the email you'll see that he likes to get Rupees 10,000 (~US$ 150.64) as a booking fee which needs to get paid in advance.

It does not matter how high the fee is and how he calls it. In any case is it a UPFRONT or advanced fee. As he likes to be a broker or consultant needs he get paid from the one, which has given him the campaign. As not one company from the U.S. is searching for a broker or consultant in India the scammer Rajib Singh does not have any contract with any client.

Rajib Singh does even not like to show his face at his LinkedIn profile because he does not like to provice a man-hunt picture by himself. Such people are even not using their real name for their profile.

Typical for the scam is the offer that the consultation fee of Rupees 50,000 (~US$ 753.19) will deducted from the first billing and the center has to pay 5% royalty, which is only written in the attached word document. This facts should lead many centers to pay the advanced booking fee. In reality has the scammer no contract with any client.

That the complete campaign is nothing else than scam gets shown if we take a look at the process description:

The process is a lead generation of consumers from US, Canada, Australia and UK. Need to capture simple data like name, address and contact number from yellow pages and other directory sites.

Facts which make this campaign to a scam:

  • In this campaign description gets shown that the scammer does even not know what the yellow pages are. As he writes that consumer data shall get captured from the yellow pages the result will be zero because at the yellow pages are only companies listed.

  • The scammer Rajib Singh does not know that the data can get bought from the yellow pages. If a company buys these data will it be even cheaper than to enter it manually. The scammer writes in his offer that the client pays per center and per month Rupees 450,000 (~US$ 6,778.67). That makes for the full duration of 18 months for each center around US$ 122,016.06. To buy the data from the yellow pages from U.S., Canada, Australia and UK will be in any case cheaper than two centers are getting paid for the work and the data will have 100% accuracy.

    If I compare the price for the manual work then I can get it even cheaper by renting some servers, install web crawlers on it and download the content of the yellow pages by myself. Even in this case I'll get 100% accuracy and I need to pay only 1-2 operators which are controlling the jobs of the servers.

    In both cases the client will have the data faster than they can get typed from agents.

  • The scammer posted similar campaigns at LinkedIn some time ago, which got negative comments:

    11 months ago in the group BPO - Business Process Outsourcing:
    RAJIB SINGH IS A BIG FRAUD. DO NOT FALL FOR HIS FAKE OFFERS. HIS PROFILE ON LINKEDIN IS FAKE. ASK FOR HIS ORIGINAL ADDRESS AND NAME. I LOST RS.11500 TO HIM.
    HE WILL GIVE YOU HIS WIFE'S NAME AND BANK ADDRESS FOR DEPOSIT AS HIS COMPANY'S DIRECTOR. HER ADDRESS IS FAR AWAY FROM CALCUTTA. HE WILL GIVE YOU BITLANDERS.COM SITE WITH MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS CREATED BY HIM TO WORK. NOBODY WILL EARN THAT MUCH OF MONEY FROM THAT WEBSITE. HOW HE WILL PAY TO YOU FOR BLOGGING. IT IS PURELY FOR COLLECTING MONEY. I LOST RS.11500 FOR HIS FALSE OFFERS. HE IS A BIG FRAUD. MY EMAIL BSK1960@GMAIL.COM

    9 months ago in the group outSOURCE NOW...:
    He is a big fraud. Do not pay him. He will loot your money decently. His profile is fake. Ask for his real name and address before paying. He will give you another lady's bank address for depositing the money. He will tell you cock and bull stories after deceiving you.
    He will give you Bitlanders.com site address. You can register yourself on that site and earn money. He will give you multiple accounts on that site which is against the site rules. Do not fall for his tactics.

    9 months ago in the group DATA VENDORS FOR CALL CENTRE:
    RAJIB SINGH IS BIG FRAUD. DO NOT FALL FOR HIS DECENT TACTICS. DO NOT LOOSE YOUR MONEY FOR THIS IDIOT.

Scammer: Phani Indra - Malladi Phanindra - savebpo.com - with unbelievable offers

SaveBPO Logo

Update November 18, 2015: The following shows how scammer are thinking how they can build up a business and how they are thinking how they can continue if they are getting catched to be scammer.

I have written the article one day after I have warned the scammer Phani Indra - Malladi Phanindra immediately as he had published the scam campaign in Facebook. In the hope that nothing will happen to him, he continued posting copying one campaigns after another from other sources where he even didn't know the source. It did even not make any difference for him if the campaign is genuine or not. He even does not have any knowledge how to identify a scam campaigns and he has ignored my warnings. Only important for him has been to make money. The way to get money and if the payer gets something for his money has not been important for him.

As the most of the campaigns are only available against an advanced fee are the campaigns nothing else than scam. A real client is searching for a broker or consultant which is near of his place and not abroad. The clients likes to have the possibility to make a complaint immediately and directly as soon as something goes wrong. If a client is searching abroad then he is searching directly for a center and not for a middle man. In this case he likes to avoid the kids game "Chinese message" and save the fee for the broker. For this reasons are 99.9% campaign offers with source from low wage countries nothing else than scam.

On this article he has shown an reaction and started to delete the campaign offers from his site after he even used a friend, which tried to explain me in the Facebook group "the campaign is from a friend":

Screenshot from Facebook discussion with the argument that the campaign is from a friend of a friend

My opinion is that people which have such a kind of friends don't need some enemies - such people are already punished with these kinds of friends!

Afterwards he started to delete the campaign from his site savebpo.com. In the social networks are the offers still available - only the link to his site is not working. Here a screenshot from the scam offer in Facebook from today morning:

Screenshot from Facebook with the scam offer

As I told him, that he does not have any contract or permission with Deep Blue Marketing and for this he needs to remove the campaigns from Deep Blue Marketing too, he replied: "Are you talking about the UK Boiler Survey campaign with hot key transfer. Project ?". This answer shows that he even does not know the source of the campaigns and he had never any contact with any client or another broker. He has only copied campaigns from suspicious sources in the hope of getting rich from the up-front fees.

After he has deleted some campaigns - only from his site, he sent me the following message at Facebook:

I have just moved all energy campaigns to trash
All done now
I request you to remove my name from your blog
If you find any other scam or fraud projects in my site
Please contact the author

Sorry, but business is not a kindergarten game. For doing business you need to build up a reputation. Only to change the author of the site and using different names for the fraud does not bring a good reputation and does not release the owner of the site from beeing liable for the content. With other words is it nothing else than a nice try for continuing scamming centers by saying it is only a market place. Even a bad reputation is a reputation.

The whole story shows only how the scammers are trying to play man-in-the middle. For the case that the offered campaign is a real campaign how they like to make money with copy & paste. If the campaign is a scam than they get at least the up-front fee. In any case is it scam, because they even don't know who is the provider of the campaign and from where they have copied the campaign.

Original article November 17, 2015: Yesterday I found some unbelievable campaign offers in the social networks. The offers got posted from Phani Indra / Malladi Phanindra the owner of the domain savebpo.com. A warning about the scam offers got ignored from him, because today morning the offers still exists in the social networks and on his site savebpo.com. It seems that he thinks that he can get rich by asking an advanced fee from centers. In one worse case he even thinks that he can get 7 Lacs (US$ 10,574) for a campaign where data from the client need to be accessible to the salesperson. The client will get fined from the US FTC (Federal Trade Commission) with US$ 16,000 per record. AT&T had paid in the past for such a failure, where data got stolen during an outsourcing process and the fines have been even cheaper, US$ 25,000,000. This ones, which don't believe it can take a look at the FTC site or at my report about this case.

Not one client will take the risk to get fined. A client likes to save money by an offshore outsourcing process and not pay more than his top workers get paid for doing the job. As in the traditional outsourcing countries (Australia, Canada, European Union, U.S.) the consumer and customer data are protected by the data protection law and the fines for breaking the law are very high, not one client will outsource any campaign where the center needs to have access to their database. It does not matter if the data are getting misused by the center or stolen from by a someone else during a data breach. The business owner is liable in any case because he has collected the data.

Let us take a look at the offered scam campaign first

Please don’t ask for more details as you got them all in this post.

The offered campaign needs the knowledge of an insurance salesman. The education of an insurance salesman takes in Europe 3 years. How can agents, which don't know anything about insurances and centers where even the center owners don't know something about the law in foreign countries, will be able to handle such a job? How good the education in India is and how much interest about foreign laws gets already shown by offering such a sham campaign. The scammer is even too stupid to invent a real scam campaign.

That education of the scammer Phani Indra / Malladi Phanindra has been not better than passing far away from any school gets shown by the fact that he requires IBM X360 Xeon Processor for the center. it shows only that he has no idea about the requirements of a call center and the work of a call center. A client will not load any application to the server of the center. Into forms are getting only some text data to the server of the client submitted. Such a datatransfer to websites can get done at the lowest speed of a mobile Internet connection. Depending on the used codec from the center and the VoIP provider is additional a bandwidth between 8kBit/sec and 80kBit/sec per seat necessary. A bandwith of 1MBit/sec would be plenty enough for a center with 10 agents.

The scammer Phani Indra / Malladi Phanindra from savebpo.com seems even to be stupid, because I have warned him in a chat about the scam. As everybody can see it in the provided protocol below he agreed with it and continued to post more of his scam campaigns instead of deleting them. The provided timezone is GMT+1:

1:32pm Save Bpo:
Thank you for your caution
Ill look into this
but i see there are 3 centers running this process from 18 months
Can you help me with this ?

1:45pm Rudolf Faix: You can only delete it because it is against the U.S. consumer protection law. Some other option is not possible

1:45pm Save Bpo:
Hmm, Thank you
Well i got partnered with callcentersindia.com and got these projects
Do you think its worth to work with them ?

1:46pm Rudolf Faix: Each inbound project with consumer data is nothing else than scam (countries: Australia, Canada, European Union, U.S.)

1:47pm Save Bpo:
Sorry
with callcenterpartner.com *

1:47pm Rudolf Faix:
That is nothing else than an advanced fee scam. Agents would even not be able to handle it without a few month training
You should know about the law in the different countries before you are offering something

1:49pm Save Bpo: True

1:49pm Rudolf Faix: the only possible and legit campaigns are lead generation

1:50pm Save Bpo: Ill have a look into them

2:13pm Rudolf Faix: callcenterpartner has the campaign not at their homepage. Have I overseen it?

He did even not stop with his copy and paste process from callcenterpartners.com. He even copied the campaign from Deep Blue Marketing where onshore U.S. centers are getting searched. It seems that he thinks that U.S. companies are searching in India or on India websites for campaigns. For this idea you need to have studied, like he has written on his LinkedIn profile, at the Kakatiya University. We all know that intelligence is not commercially acquirable. Without thinking he has copied all campaigns from callcenterpartners.com - even the scam campaigns where data needs to get used, which are protected by law and not one client will give a center access to these data.

The above campaign gets found in the callcentersform.com and rssing.com. With other words the scammer even does not know from where he is copyng the campaigns. The only purpose or the campaign offers is to get an advance fee. That is nothing else than SCAM!!! All actions of the scammer are showing only how lazy he is. Malladi Phanindra / Phani Indra is even too lazy to invent his own campaigns. It seems to be very hard for someone which likes to have studied at an University to use his brain.

Summary

  • Not one client will risk to get fined with millions of dollars for giving you access to his customer database. The fine is much higher then the client is able to save on such a project.

  • Uneducated agents are not able to handle such a job

  • Everwhere where you have to pay to get some campaigns you'll get only scammed

  • Fees for the broker or consultant need to get paid from this one, which hires the broker or consultant and not from the company which shall do the work.

  • Real brokers with a contract with a client have to work for the client and not for the center for this the client has to pay them

  • Scammers like Phani Indra / Malladi Phanindra are thinking they can get rich by creating a website and copy and paste from others without any knowledge of the content. They even don't know that not one client is searching for a broker or consultant from abroad!
    For this reason it does not make any sense to create a platform like savebpo.com in India. Not one client will use it.

  • Scammers from India are normally not listed with their sham companies on the site Ministry of Corporate Affairs (http://www.mca.gov.in/DCAPortalWeb/dca/SearchCIN.do). But be aware you can get scammed from listed companies there too.

Scammer: Virat Singh - +91-8154002711

Recently I got the information about a unbelievable campaign offer in LinkedIn. The offer is from Virat Singh from India. The way the impressing offer is written declares already the scam:

Australian Tourism Inbound Process with high paying /Advance payment

+91-8154002711

The scammer Virat Singh seems not knowing why companies are outsourcing into low wage countries and why not one company or client will not trust and not search for a broker abroad. You can be sure as higher the earning promises about this invented campaign are as higher will be the advanced fee the scammer is asking for and you can be sure that the scammer will disappear or will not be reachable any more as soon as he got the money from the center. Even if the campaign would be offered free of charge you can be sure that the campaign is nothing else than scam because a client or company from Australia is by law not allowed to give you access to their customer or consumer database. Tourism data are personal data from the consumer and this data are protected by the data protection law. For this you will not be able to do something with an inbound caller. For picking up the phone, say a greeting and connect the caller with a responsible person you'll not get paid because that can be done from the person the call should get connected too.

The scammer Virat Singh likes to be a photomodel otherwise he would use his own picture in his profile and not a picture from a photomodel. I think more in his case that he does not like to provide a manhunt picture by himself:

The scammer Virat Singh likes to be a photo modelVirat Singh

Business Development Manager at Gobalio

Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India | Outsourcing/Offshoring

Previous Accenture, Banglore
Education Christ University, Bangalore

LinkedIn public profile: https://in.linkedin.com/in/viratsingh20

 

Already the fact that Virat Singh has blocked my profile at LinkedIn is confirming his scam. That this action does not help a scammer gets shown here. I have a few family members, which are allowing me to use their login credentials and with the help of some proxy servers a scammer can even not be sure from which country I'm using other login credentials.

I'm more in worry about the center owners, who believe in such a scam offers. It shows only that they even have not any education, don't know anything about outsourcing work, don't know anything about the law in the traditional outsourcing countries and are just thinking that they are able to get rich just by opening a center. People, who are too lazy to inform themselves about the job and the offer are guilty by themselves if they get scammed.

Everything which sounds too good to be true isn't true. So you should read the previous comments too. Virat Singh has clearly stated the scam in his own comment:

We charge Upfront . Because we are Providing Authentic BPO Projects Contact Only If You are Legitimate Business Man

The problem is only that the scammer Virat Singh is by himself not a legitimate business man. He even does not know who has to pay a broker. A broker gets paid from the company which hires him. He has to work in the interests of the company he pays him and for this reason is there no client behind the invented campaign. The whole campaign is nothing else than an advance fee scam.

Centers if you have too much money support the poor ones instead of such a scammers like Virat Singh. If you are supporting the poor people you'll even are making the world to a better place. I'm sure that if you are going out of your house or flat you'll find enough people which need your support.

Here are the screen shots from the scam offer for the case that LinkedIn has taken the scam campaign already offline:

 

SCAM about died bank customers with millions on their accounts

Today (2015-03-09) I got a LinkedIn message, which shall make me rich. I think that other members from LinkedIn have gotten a similar message with the following content:

Ms Rose LEE Wai Mun

Hello

Ms Rose LEE Wai Mun

9. März 2015, 11:33 Uhr

First thanks for accepting my Invitation on LinkedIn, I hope My message meets you in good health. It's my pleasure to introduce myself via this means.

For showing this to you, I have sent a short answer to the given email address:

Dear Faix
 
Thanks so much for replying to my email address, I know this will come as a surprise to you but let me formally introduce myself to you.I am Ms Rose LEE Wai Mun Vice-Chairman and Chief Executive at the Hang Seng Bank Plc. I am contacting you concerning an abandoned sum of $22,500,000.00 USD. In June 2004, A customer called Fernando Faix foreign contractor with Royal Dutch Plc came to our bank for business discussions and investment, As the officer in charge of his transaction then, I encouraged him to consider various growth of funds with prime ratings. Then he invested Nineteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only. Based on my advice, we were able to spin the initial deposit with profit and interest to 22.5 million U.S Dollars. After few months; My bank (Hang Seng) sent several notice to him without response and unfortunately, my client died in a car crash along with his nuclear family at France while on sabbatical in the summer of 2008, may their soul rest in peace. He died without leaving a Will and several efforts were made to find his extended family through your embassy without success. Because of the sensitive nature of private banking, most customers don't nominate next of kin in their investment, also usually in most cases leave their WILLS in our care, in this case; our now deceased client died in-testate.
 
It is quite clear now that our dear client died with no known or identifiable family member. According to practice, the Private banking sector will by the end of this year broadcast a request for statement of claim to Hang Seng Bank Ltd, failing to receive viable claims they will probably revert the deposit to the Management of Hang Seng Bank Ltd. This will result the money entering the Hang Seng accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the private banking division. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration of Ten {10} years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
 
Now, I am prepared to give the necessary details to you as the closest surviving relation of our deceased customer (Fernando Faix). I am also proposing that after a successful execution of the business deal, the funds will be shared in the ratio 40/60. You will get 40% and I will be entitled to 60% as the initiator of the deal. You know that I must have done my home work already before contacting you. Although the project is capital intensive, I know I will be able to pull it through following proper banking and legal Channels with your assistance at your end. I will tidy up the legal aspect with the assistance of a lawyer who will prepare all the documents that will be needed to transfer the money from Hong Kong to your country. Once more, I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail and forget I ever contacted you, I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive; do not destroy my career. Opportunities like this only comes once in a lifetime. I am a family woman and this is an opportunity for me to give my family the best in life. I would want you to think about this and let me know your decision. If you give me a positive response, I will give you the relevant INFORMATION for the successful transfer of these funds and we both enjoy it in peace.
 
If you give me positive signals on my email: msroselewaimun@gmail.com, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you not contact me via official Channels else I will deny knowing you and about this project. You can also check on my biography from this link as well http://bank.hangseng.com/1/2/about-us/directors-organisation/board-of-directors#irenelee you can also call our official line +852-2822-0228 but do not talk about this transaction or I may deny knowing you, when you call? Ask of Ms Rose LEE Wai Mun (Hang Seng Bank) and if I am on seat, then your call shall be transfer to me, what I will want you to do is to abolish the call before I talk because my official line are not secured means to reach me bearing in mind, the nature of this transaction, because they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management.
 
I await your response.
 
Regards

 

I stop at this time the communication with this scammer. The follow up will be only an advanced fee scam.

For the case that such a email would not be only scam, you would make yourself punishable and will end up in jail for helping in betraying the government, which gets in such case the heritage.
