Offshore Outsourcing & Scammer

Blog about offshore outsourcing and scammer in the outsourcing industry

Scammer: Angel Kashyap - angel.ztechsolutions@gmail.com - angel.kashyap2 - angel ztechsolutins

Scammer can get easily identified because they don’t like to provide a manhunt picture in their profiles in the social networks by themselves and their offers are sounding too good to be true. Their problem is that they lie and each one which is lying needs a memory like an elephant. Scammer are not trained to use their brain so they even forget to use for each scam another profile, email address, skype address. It can be even too difficult for them because they are lazy and only interested to make money fast.

As intelligence is commercial not available, scammers are even not able to invest something into their own education. It seems that the scammers even don’t have enough brain to learn by their own mistakes or to inform themselves if their invented campaign is possible or not. Scammers are even thinking that a lot of requirements and providing a nice hourly rate is enough to get a huge upfront fee from the centers. The same way is thinking the scammer Angel Kashyap (email: angel.ztechsolutions@gmail.com, Skype: angel.kashyap2) from India. Not one outsourcing client is searching for a broker abroad and already for this reason are the offers from Angel Kashyap already scam. If we take a look at the offer which Angel Kashyap sent out by email we’ll find a lot reasons why the offer is scam:

Required Agents : 15

Required Lead Supervisor    : 01

Payout Per Agent per Hour    : $8 USD (Fixed For 1 Year contract)

Payout per Hour of Lead Supervisor : $10 USD (Fixed For 1 Year contract)

0% Call Quality Deduction    : $ 50 USD

AUX (Break) Time    : 45 Minutes

Training Period    : 5 Days

Initially contract Period : 1 Year 

Email:- angel.ztechsolutions@gmail.com
Skype:- angel.kashyap2

It is already nice to find an hourly paid campaign. The problem is only that the campaign and all other campaigns from the scammer Angel Kashyap is only scam. The scammer is so stupid and seems that he does not know how call centers are working. The scammer even does not know that there is no U.S. timezone and already the United States has including Alaska and Hawai six time zones. At the continental United States we'll find the following time zones:

United States time zones map

Break time is not a paid time and for this reason does it not matter if the break is 30 minutes, 45 minutes or one hour. It remains to the organization of the call center how breaks are getting handled. It will normally never happen that all agents from a call center are making break at the same time.

Anyway with the provided email and Skype data we are able to find the social profiles of the scammer. Google finds at:

At Call Centers Forum got the user with the email address angel.ztechsolutions@gmail.com after 4 postings already banned:

Angel ztechThis project shows already how stupid the scammer Angel Kashyap is. With accuracy of 60% can get each 3rd word written wrong and the work of a profreading gets accepted. Microsoft Word is doing a better job for less money. Anyway the Call Center Partner profile from "Angel ztech" is linking to a Google+ profile of Angel ztech. The profile look empty. There get only found 4 friends and the profile itself is connected from 58 others. Nearly all connections at Google+ are not showing real people at their profile picture. The profile picture from the Google+ profile of Angel ztech gets found on 770 other websites too and you can be sure that it does not show owner of the profile.

The same project above got posted on LinkedIn Pulse at September 22, 2015 from a profile with the name "angel ztechsolutins". It seems that the Novel writing project is a never ending story. If the error correction needs only an accuracy of 60% it will never become a real story. Another campaign got posted on October 23, 2015 at LinkedIn Pulse from the same scammer with the title "Australia form filling process":

Email angel.ztechsolutions@gmail.com

A big problem for the campaign offer above is the Australian data protection law - Australian Privacy Principles (APPS). The fines breaking the law are for the client very high and for this not one company will risk getting fined. On the other site is the personal computer already 40 years old and all data are already digital stored. There is no need for any form filling work. Forms are getting filled automatically and with 100% accurancy from the computer. Why someone should hire manual work in this case?

I don't like to list now all the scam campaigns from Angel Kashyap, because all the campaigns listed from this profile are scam. I like to show you now some interesting connections found in the campaigns. At Call Centers Forum we'll find a posting from November 2013 at http://www.callcentersforum.com/tag-bpo.html?page=5 with the following content:

We can continue endless following up their phone numbers and email addresses. All profiles we'll find have in common that not one provides the picture of a real person, all have a free email address, not one remembers the correct writing of his company name and much more. Not one is for this reasons trustful. Centers which got scammed from them are guilty by themselves. Everybody which is sending some money to such scammers should consult a madhouse doctor for a check-up.

Here you can see the Skype profile from Angel Kashyap. The person is even here not able to show his real face and is dreaming from live in Dubai instead of India. Maybe the jails in Dubai are more comfortable than in India:

 

 

Important information about non-voice processes (form filling, backoffice, etc.) and inbound campaigns

For all, which are still searching for non-voice processes and don't believe that there are no form-filling processes or backoffice work available, I like to give you an actual example for the reason why there are such processes available. The following text is a translation from a press release distributed by the dpa (German Press Agency):

In the so-called "Swissleaks" affair, where client data from the HSBC Private Bank in Geneva got forwarded to authorities from a former HSBC employee, the employee got sentenced to five years.

The judgment of the Swiss Federal Criminal Court in Bellinzona was issued on Friday due to industrial espionage. From further allegations, including breach of commercial confidentiality, the 43-year-old was acquitted. The former employees of HSBC Private Bank, a subsidiary of the British HSBC, had thousands of customer information leaked to the authorities in France. The Bank had spoken of theft and given the loss of data of up to 24,000 customers.

The process was determined by the question of whether the man was an honorable "whistleblower" or an unscrupulous con artist. Based on its data, many celebrities were advised as potential tax evaders in the focus of investigators worldwide. It could not be clearly demonstrated that for the transfer of stolen client data also money flowed.

As you could read above an employee has forwarded customer data to the authorities. Even forwarding data to the authorities is forbidden by law. Think now: Why someone should give you some data and go to jail for it or get high fined? Do you really think that you are more trustfull than government authorities? In this case you should stop taking drugs.

If you are writing into an email or a chat the lie that you had such a process already than you get classified from a real broker as a liar and you'll are getting no information about any available process. Making business is based on trust and nobody can build up trust with someone which is lying. You are even confirming in such a case that you don't have any skills for leading a center.

Fact is that you'll not find any inbound campaign because not one client will give you access to his data. The fines for breaking the data protection law are very high (U.S. $16,000 per record, Europe € 50,000 - € 58,000 per case). One famous case has been AT&T which has paid a fine of $25,000,000 for 280,000 stolen customer records during an outsourcing process. At this time the fines have been cheaper. So why should any client take the risk for getting fined? Normally a broker gets paid from the client who has hired him. As there is no client available the scammer has no other possibility to get money as by selling his dream campaigns to centers.

As you'll find in the social networks offers for non-voice processes and inbound campaigns only against a huge up-front fee is confirming already the scam. It does not make any difference how the fee is getting called. Every work, which is only available against a fee, is nothing else than a SCAM!!!

If you are getting scammed by someone with such or a similar process then you are guilty by yourself because you have been too lazy to inform yourself if the process is possible or not. Your own greed and laziness let you believe that the scammer is trustworthy. In this case you can complaint the scammer and your own stupidity.

If you don't believe the above than use Google and search for "Swissleaks".

 

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:

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:

 

Scammer: Whitewave Outsourcing - Rajeev Lamba - whitewaveoutsourcing.com

Whitewave Outsourcing logoNot one client from the traditional outsourcing countries will search for a broker or consultant abroad. The clients like to have a security and for this reason they will hire a outsourcing broker or consultant which is living near of them. For the case that something is running wrong with the project they are in this case immediately able to make a complain directly. The client would have not more security if he would hire a center directly instead a broker or consultant from abroad. The client would even save the salary for the broker. Why in this case should he hire a broker or consultant from abroad? Based on this rule are 99.99% of all the outsourcing campaign offers with source in the low wage countries are nothing else than SCAM!!!

It seems that an old well known scammer - Amigos Outsourcing Pvt. Ltd. - is already not able to pay their staff. That is normally the start of the end from a company because the unpaid staff will become a whistle blower. So it seems to be happened to Harsha Urs too. Harsha Urs sent out with Facebook messaging and posted in the India Consumer Complaints Forum the following information:

A short Google search found the website whitewaveoutsourcing.com (2016-02-25: Link removed website already not reachable) and at the website there are three non-voice campaign offers. One is an insurance form filling project and the second one is Data Mangement Form Filling. Both are Word or PDF copy and paste work. From the nature of the data protection law in the traditional outsourcing countries are both projects nothing else than a scam offer. The third project should be an E-Book Publishing project where each seat has a work load of 500 books, which need to get converted from "Word to URL". As the nature of e-books is that they are already digital and not in Word available is even this project nothing else a scam.

As all the three projects are only scams are even no clients for the offered projects available. The company Whitewave Outsourcing likes only to scam the centers. For scamming clients are they too stupid to get clients.
