Offshore Outsourcing & Scammer

Blog about offshore outsourcing and scammer in the outsourcing industry

Scammer & Identity Theft: Thomas Tryon - safehavenleads.com

Thomas TryonIn this case we have not only a scam. This scam is combined with an identity theft because the scammer is using the name and the picture from Thomas Tryon. At WikiPedia we can find out that Thomas Tryon died already on September 4, 1991 - around 24 years ago. As already the name and the picture is a fake nobody can trust in such a case to the remaining content and offers. So be aware to make some business with such a person or a person with such a profile!

That the scammer is not living in New York is shown already the time of his postings. If he would life in the U.S. then he could not offer some leads for offshore because the data protection law is for him valid too. The fine of the FTC for exporting data out from the U.S. is US$ 16,000 per customer / consumer record. This makes his business uneconomical. I think that he is nothing else than a stupid scammer from India.

The profile of the scammer:

The original bio from Thomas Tryon together with the his picture

Found found at http://www.feedyourneedtoread.com/contributor/thomas-tryon/#full-bio-tab:

Thomas Tryon (1926 - 1991), actor turned author, made his bestselling debut with The Other (1971), which spent nearly six months on the New York Times bestseller list and allowed him to quit acting for good; a film adaptation, with a screenplay by Tryon and directed by Robert Mulligan, appeared in 1972. Tryon wrote two more novels set in the fictional Pequot Landing of The Other - Harvest Home (1973) and Lady (1974). Crowned Heads (1976) detailed the lives of four fictional film stars and All That Glitters (1986) explored the dark side of the golden age of Hollywood. Night Magic (published posthumously in 1995) was a modern-day retelling of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. 

Additional we can find at WikiPedia:

Thomas "Tom" Tryon (January 14, 1926 – September 4, 1991) was an American film and television actor, best known for playing the title role in the film The Cardinal (1963) and the Walt Disney television character Texas John Slaughter (1958–1961). He later turned to the writing of prose fiction and screenplays, and wrote several science fiction, horror and mystery novels.

Does SEO - Search Engine Optimization bring traffic to your site?

AlexaTo answer this question we take the service from Alexa, an Amazon company, which got founded 1996. This is the true pioneer in the world of web analytics and got the necessary experience over the years. How their data are collected and have to get interpreted is declared under the menu About Us on the Alexa website:

Alexa's traffic estimates are based on data from our global traffic panel, which is a sample of millions of Internet users using one of over 25,000 different browser extensions. In addition, we gather much of our traffic data from direct sources in the form of sites that have chosen to install the Alexa script on their site and certify their metrics. However, site owners can always choose to keep their certified metrics private.

Our global traffic rank is a measure of how a website is doing relative to all other sites on the web over the past 3 months. The rank is calculated using a proprietary methodology that combines a site's estimated average of daily unique visitors and its estimated number of pageviews over the past 3 months. We provide a similar country-specific ranking, which is a measurement of how a website ranks in a particular country relative to other sites over the past month.

Let us take a look at some actual ranking examples from Alexa (the ranking of the best sites can get found here):

#1 google.com
#2 facebook.com
#3 youtube,com
#15 linkedin.com
#26 bing.com
#109 nytimes.com
#173 forbes.com
#258 google.at
#327 google.com.ph
#1163 heise.de (a IT magazine publisher from Germany)
#1449 orf.at (the Austrian TV station)
#3894 golem.de (IT and gaming online news from Germany)
#5528 krone.at (an Austrian daily newspaper)
#10563 kurier.at (an Austrian daily newspaper)

If you take a look at all this sites, then you see that all this sites have a lot of content. The content is bringing the visitors and the site metrics are getting considered in the search results of the search engines. It does not help you if you make a site, optimize it for a few keywords and think that you get now a lot of traffic. If you have no content on your site, which is interesting for your readers, then they are faster away then they have been coming.

SEO helps you only in starting a website. If you are not bringing new information and make your readers interested, then your website will not perform. In such a case you can create back-links optimize for keywords and result will be that nobody will visit or revisit your site.That gives you a bad ranking and you can start from the beginning again, because you'll lose your ranking in the search engines.

We can see an example about such a result from a Skype communication, which I had today in the morning:

He: We have spent around $7000 for Data itself to run the processes but we went in total loss. So now we are mostly looking for process where the clients give the specific data

Me: The data, which you can buy, are already heavy used by other centers. Responsible for this is the data protection law in the traditional outsourcing countries

He: Yes, we use to get lot of duplicate leads looks like the vendor sale the same data to multiple centers. Just know somebody suggested us to generate our own data with by developing websites and taking SEO Help.

Me: You'll not get enough data from a website to run a call center. There are so many websites, which are never getting visited by someone. Promotion at the good websites will be very expensive. It will be only profitable if the payout very high, but there is another rule: "As higher the offered payout is as less sales will be done."

You can take a look at the ranking of my blog at Alexa and compare it with the unique visitors, which are visiting my blog:

Alexa status about blog.wwpa.com

Yesterday I have started a free service from geovisites.com, which is listing the unique visitors per country. The geovisites are running since yesterday morning. On the right site of geovistes is listed the full day.:

Screenshot GeoVisites.com

Do you thing that one from the 38 US visitors will drop his phone number? If you are lucky then 1 from 1000 will do it. You'll see at Alexa that 18 millions of domains, which are having fewer visitors.

He: yes.. now I understood the equation, it's difficult to achieve. We are currently running a Online Campaign for Drug and alcohol rehab which went online a month ago, and the SEO work was done by a professional still it didn't gave us any inbound call: www.dictionbreakfree.com

Me: Alexa says about dictionbreakfree.com: We don't have enough data to rank this website. You see, the seo work alone brings nothing.

Screenshot of the Alexa report about dictionbreakfree.com

That it is not necessary to register your site at Alexa is showing the example from one of my customer. He made only a website for having one. His customers are property management companies, with he has contracts. For this he made never a SEO or registered his site somewhere. The site weber-haustechnik.at exists already around 20 years. Even this site has a better traffic ranking then the above one with SEO:

Alexa report about weber-haustechnik.at

He: Oh God, i was having high expectations

Me: Seo is only search engine optimization. That alone does not bring visitors.

He: Sir i have found that when i look for process in Google search your blog is listed mostly on first page or second page ... so i think the quality of the articles also plays an important role in driving the traffic.

Me: Sure, the content makes the search engine optimization. Google is using similar data or the data from Alexa too.

He: I was not aware of that. We try to outsource SEO work to freelancers who were taking fewer fees. May be next time we should try with an expert who is good in SEO and content writing

Resume: Forget everything about SEO and tricking the search engines. If you like to get visitors coming to your site, then you have to write quality content about the topic of your website. Everything else is not more than a cat, which is hunting her own tail!.

If you are not permanently adding content to your website, then your website will be soon only a hidden secret in the World Wide Web. If you think you need to add only a few pictures and that is it, then you are wrong. Nobody is searching for pictures and pictures are not getting indexed by the search engines.

Tricking the search engines with optimizing the content for them, bring you only for a short time in front of the result list for the used keywords, but there is no guarantee that it brings you some visitors. As soon as they are changing their indexing algorithm you can get found as the last entry of a search result. Only quality content keeps you permanently in front and brings visitors to your site.

A website is like a store window - if the content does not change it will not attract customers.

 

Scammer: Matrix Infotech - Farhan Khan - bpoprojects.co.in

Matrix Infotech - Farhan KhanThe scammer MatrixInfotech Farhan Khan made today the background check more interesting for me, because he tried to rescue himself with arguments. As he has seen that his arguments could not speak against the provided facts his language has becoming rude.

Let's take a look at the start with the facts. His upbringing and education is not as important. His rude behavior shows us only that he is not conflictable, his character and is for us not so important. It only disqualifies him to be a real businessman.

Who finds the irony in my words is allowed to laugh out loud. His very impressing starting page of his website:

Screenshot from the website of Matrix Infotech

Since the begin of the Internet I did not see such an impressing starting page. The kids in the primary school in Europe are making a better starting page than this one. Anyway, it comes better. It looks like this guy does not know the difference between years and months. At http://bpoprojects.co.in/about.html is written (failures are marked red):

What We Do
Matrix Info Tech is in operations since past 4 years. We are a PAN India company provides B.P.O & Data Entry services. The services we provide includes Contact Center services such as customer service, market research and surveys, verification, Back office services including data management, Scanning, indexing and storage of bulk and Confidential documents. We are one of the pioneers in Document Management doing end to end activity in the Telecommunication Industry.

In the last 4 years we have made our presence felt PAN India. We are backed up by a strong and dedicated work force of more than 1250 people working round the clock meeting the deadlines of our clients.

For proving the red marked part of the text we take a look into the domain registry data and find out that the domain got created on June 13, 2014 (the Facebook account got created June 6, 2014) - the domain is less than a year old. For this the company, if it is a registered company, cannot be already 4 years on the market. We find some other interesting facts in the domain registry data. The scammer does not know the difference of an area and a street. He does even not know his own postcode:

As HSR Layout seems to be a popular and rich area in Bangalore, he just invented this address and has even been too lazy for make a lookup for the postcode of this area. He has simple overseen that the area has street addresses too. A street number and the name A/B cross road is not sounding so good like HSR Layout. It seems that the scammer is living in the slums and only like to make a better impression then the reality shows. Even this fact naming only an area instead of a street shows that the scammer likes to hide himself in the anonymity of the Internet.

You find the place HSR Layout in Google maps:

Screenshot Google maps - HSR Layout

If you press a few times zoom out (-) then you get the name of the areas:

Google maps - HSR Layout

A look at http://ind.postcodequery.com/bDlmYQ==.html shows us that HSR Layout has the postcode 560102 and not like the spammer has written into his domain registration 123456.

The next fact are the offered campaigns from Matrix Infotech Inbound and Non Voice. There is no offer for any outbound process. Maybe he is afraid to offer a real campaign.

We find a lot of banking inbound and form filling processes. This shows us that the offers are only scam, because according to the law of Australia, European Union and USA are all this data protected. How can you handle any customer service if you don't have access to the customer data? Which forms do you like to fill if you have no customer data available?

Not one bank will give you access to their systems. So which kind of customer service do you like to provide?

One more error is shown if you try to download a project description file. You get the error "No preview available":

Scammer: Syphar Technosoft Pvt Ltd - syphartechnosoft.com - Suhani Jain - Rashmi Patel

At LinkedIn in the group Campaigns Outbound & Inbound gets found the following discussion. I have made a .pdf attachment of this discussion for the case that someone is not a member of this group. Here I have copied only the relevant information:

Why shall start someone a new center? It are not enough real campaigns available for the existing centers. I see the only sense in opening a new center that the scammer have more possibilities in generating their income.
By the way, why are you not able to show your face at your profile picture?

Suhani Jain
Hi. I do not understand what do you have to do with my comment ??????? Why do I need to clarify you about anything ?? And how do you assume that it has to do ONLY WITH new centres??? What do you have to do with my picture ?? Do you know that we look ONLY for new centres ??? You decided it on behalf of one posting only ?? What do you know about communication ?? What for God's sake do you know about marketing ?? Mr. So Called Specialist ?????????

Rudolf Faix
@Suhani: 
* I'm sorry, that you you don't understand something. I speak only English and German.
* You have not written an comment. You have written a posting with the title "Start Your Own Call Centre, Join Hands With Syphar", that means someone shall start his own center - in fact is it in this case a new one. It will be hard to start an own center as an old one!
* You are posting in a public area, there is everybody able to comment your posting, If you like to enjoy your privacy, then you should not use public places.
* There is nothing written that you are searching for other then new centers
* Each posting is one for itself. You cannot expect that someone is searching all your postings together because you are too lazy to provide all information.
* I think I know more about communication as someone, which has been still in the school at 2005. At this time I had already 25 years experience in communication.
* I think I know more about marketing then you because when you have finished your school I had already opened my 6th or 7th company, which I have until now!

Hats off Mr Rudolf Faix

Great Mr Rudolf Faix

Rajdeep Chauhan
Here comes another one without profile pic and from ahmedabad too. Rudolf let's give them a profile pic how we did for Sathish Satz.

Rudolf Faix
@Rajdeep: Scammers want to make it harder for the police by using a false profile picture. They do not want to provide a manhunt image by themselves.

Satheesh Perumal
@MR.Rudolf Faix Hats off your comments. it real fact like me new centers are facing this kind of issue. In Non Voice Process 95% Scammers.

Rudolf Faix
@Satheesh: I have been thinking that in non voice process are 100% scammer until now. I did not find one real offer. :)

Michael de Jesus Diaz Martinez
Rudojf, honestly, I know is wrong. But I can't stop laughing, it's like watching a horrible kid getting spanked, this offers are jokes. You read them and know FRAUDSTER! Thanks. I guess there won't be any more questions for you.

Rudolf Faix
@Michael de Jesus Diaz Martinez; You are right. These offers are really scam by taking a first view.. Until now I even did not need to make any check for a non voice offer, because you could see the scam already by reading the offer. Not all of the center owners have this ability. The bitter truth is that you'll hardly find one center owner, which did not get scammed at least one time. 

ALIF TECHS
Why there are no comments from Suhani Jain

arselen communication
Great from Rudolf Faix, I was about to get hanged by dealing with Syphar two months ago. As we are running a group of call centers in Tunisia we are in a strong need for Campaigns. However, I would rather quit than get kicked so hard

It seems that the above offer did not bring some success. For this she tries now at LinkedIn in the group Campaigns Outbound & Inbound to offer an Australian Inbound Process for AUD 2200 (~US$ 1783)/seat and month.

We have enough information, that we are able to make now a background check of their company. First we take the Scamadviser reports about syphartechnosoft.com:

Site is India based, But The Real Location Is Being Hidden
Alert Result: The owner of the website is using a service to hide their identity
Alert Result: This website is 160 Days old
Alert Result: The website expected life (365 days) is relatively short.
Alert Result: The website appears to be less than six months old

The complete domain registry data are getting found at the end of this report. More interesting is the staff from Syphar Technosoft at LinkedIn. We find 2 entries for Suhani Jain. She even don't know which education she has, because in one account is written that she has been going to "Modi School" and in the other one "GLS". The same is with her position in her company. In the one account is written that "My Job is to Handel the team of new business Development Manager; Mainly I have to provide the training of Product" and in the other one that she is "Vice President"

I am Suhani Jain, Hardworking and believe in "Smart work" only. As I am fond of computer I know c#, .Net and HTML. 
Currently my job profile is to generate a new leads and convince them to take service from my company. My Job is to Handel the team of new business Development Manager; Mainly I have to provide the training of Product. My key responsibility is to give them sound knowledge of our service and take the business from them.
I firmly believe and agree with Mr. Bill Gates that “If you borne as poor that not your Mistake but if you Die as poor that's your Mistake."

Whenever or where ever I do anything or if I am paying any sports I always Want to "WIN" and for that I can use "Sham, Daam, Dand, Bhed” (BY hook or Crook). If you are not giving your best to do anything then you are not able to "WIN" or be successful, defiantly if you are not successful then you are not able to become rich.

So if you are doing routine work or anything extra or if you are doing for first time just give your best shot

Summary: Syphar Technosoft Pvt. Ltd - syphartechnosoft.com does everything to hide their identity. They are using pictures found at Flickr and graphics for their profiles. The picture from Suhani Jain gets found at around 1470 pages by using a Google image search. I even think that it is only a one man/woman show. Someone, which hides himself like this one in the anonymity of the Internet has a reason for it. Maybe they don't like to provide a manhunt picture by themselves. A trustful business cannot be done with such people. The risk to get scammed is 99.99% in such a case. The offered campaign "Australian Inbound Process" with 20 seats proves the scam and shows that the scammer even has no idea about call center work and the data protection law in Australia. The scammer is only searching for making quick money. Additional is the offered salary of US$ 1780 per agent is for a fixed payment too high. The discrepancies in the profiles and the "not understanding" or my comment bring me to the idea, that the scammer even did not visit a higher school.

Scammer: solidclix.com - advertchina.com - idvert.com - Latest Mailing Database - e-Market Guruz

SolidClixSilvia Beri from Italy has been thinking that she can save something by buying data from Asia. She did not think about the European Data protection law and as a result of this she could only get some heavy used data if the data even are not a fake. We have in Austria a proverb: "Who buys cheap, buys most expensive!". As a result I found a posting at LinkedIn:

We asked them for very specific data, they gave us total fake numbers or data which did not correspond to what we asked for, they denied us a refund or never gave it even though they promised it and they accused me of not knowing the format of mobile numbers in Italy (I've been living in Italy since I was born, FYI). You'll lose money and won't get anything good, beware!!!

Silvia: thanks for the awaring people.
Don't Trust these comapnies (solidclix.com, idvert.com, advertchina.com) because they are total scam. They are buying traffics but doesn't pay to publishers their money. They signed contract, update credit-apps but they all are dummy. so beware of this and we have uploaded all proofs @ https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/announcement-how-solidclix-malicious-time-payment-vishal-mehta

If we follow the LinkedIn Pulse link then we will find that Vishal Mehta has published on April 19, 2015:

Announcement: How Solidclix malicious at time of payment
  1. There is a below retention rate report which forwarded by Solidclix to ZoomTraffics and Solidclix has confirmed it. zoomtraffics aff_id is 1770 which is point out into sheet.
    retention rate report which forwarded by Solidclix to ZoomTraffics and Solidclix has confirmed it

  2. There is no contract of 20% retention rate between solidclix media ltd., and zoomtraffics for clash of king offer and zoomtraffics hasn't ever agreed on 0.1$ incent basis payment if zoomtraffics doesn't reach 20% retention rate. There is a below chat discussion which is point out Date and time and AM of solidclix.

    [27-01-2015 13:28:58] Shirley Wang | Solidclix Media LTD: Fine , I can make it open , but the retention rate if under 20 % , we can only pay you as USD 0.10 per installation.

    [27-01-2015 13:29:01] Shirley Wang | Solidclix Media LTD: Is it ok ?

    [27-01-2015 13:29:22] Vishal Mehta: sorry we don't work on terms of retention rate. We only agreed $2.80 payout for each conversion for clash of king.

  3. Zoomtraffics did 15362 conversions for clash of king and the total commission is $43103.60 and solidclix didn't pay to us for clash of king and other offers too. if zoomtraffics quality is not good enough then why kept buying traffics from zoomtraffics till commission did reach $43000. solidclix had to pause the traffics without any confirmation to zoomtraffics but they didn't do that. but at time of payment they didn't reply and didn't confirm but when we are awaring to people about this then they are realized this things and now claiming ZoomTraffics is doing malicious.

    Such kind of things badly disturbs the balance of the industry. There is a below printscreen of solidclix's system report as per zoomtraffics aff_id (1770) related.

Just wants to aware publishers, agencies, affiliate marketing how solidclix is doing fraud with publisher at time of payment.

We have discussed internally and legal department, would like to take the legal action against dishonest and wrong doing advertisers and affiliate marketing companies.

ZoomTraffics is working with more than +12000 publishers and +400 advertisers and don't need to prove the reality of our traffic's quality because there are above printscreens and our advertisers are also awaring about our quality and reputation.

Just wants to ask people if zoomtraffics is doing malicious then how we can claim our loss because solidclix didn't pay $43000 commission yet that's why we took this steps. we are keen to aware people about this issue. So don't business with them and Be Safe...

A look at the LinkedIn company site of solidclix.com shows us that Zoom Traffic has offered the half amount to solidclix.com, which they did not accept. That shows that solidclix.com is really a fraud company, because sales have been done by using the data and the result got confirmed by both sites:

SolidClix Media Ltd. Regarding ZOOMTRAFFICS’s spreading rumors online against Solidclix Media Ltd , please find the attached evidence file that Mr. Vishal and ZOOMTRAFFICS are keeping sending us the threatening emails and messages all the time, even now . We announce hereby that Solidclix completely respect the judgement of readers but we are a professional network which works in transparent and fair way with our cooperators. We always remain modest and prudent. Thank you very much for taking time reading it

This message got commented from Vishal Mehta:

Beware of Idvert, Solidclix and Advertchina They are fraud so don't business with them.... ZoomTraffics owns $43000 commissions and other 39 publishers owns $40000 commission but they aren't pay to any publishers after buying volume traffics. We have got more than 45 posts from different agencies, publishers and networks and they have confirmed solidclix is doing fraud with publishers on terms of retention rate or weekly payment terms basis. We have uploaded each linkedin profile of solidclix and idvert's emplyess basis so don't business with them, follow it. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/announcement-beware-fraud-companies-vishal-mehta

This case shows us how important a background check before making business is. If we take a look at the domain registry of solidclix.com then we see that they are hiding themselves behind a Privacy Protection Service. Such services are normally only used from private people. It does even not make any sense to use a Privacy Protection Service for registering the domain and write afterwards the full address on their website:

SolidClix Media Ltd,.
Address: Room.905 Workingberg Commercial Building, 41-47 Marble Road Hongkong
Email: Team@SolidClix.com

The only sense is in this case a planned fraud. The address seems to be wrong, because if the use this address then the bill of the domain will never arrive in their office.

Indeed. I've never heard of retention rate sensitive deals on CPI\CPA stuff, because of unpredictable and unclear performance gauge and metrics on advertiser side.

What if I tell my pubs: "Thanks for theese installs guys, but our crew sat down with some beers and we thought that retention rate was uncool for us, so I'm not gonna pay you what you've earned".

Thus, I have a one good rule: always to run a strict and transparent PPI campaigns. No additional deals, tricky "but's" and shady amendments.

I can't say something bad about Solidclix in general, hope that you guys figure out how to get dry of the water.

 

Additional are a few negative comments about solidclix.com available:

@Vishal, I don't want to escalate this issue, I have signed the agreement and can't disclose the details. The only thing that I can say that I have not received my money in full amount and have not got intime feedback regarding traffic I sent.

Got in the same situation. They told us the leads have 0% retention rate 2 monts after we were running their CPI campaign. Don't know was it true or not, but either way we lost money because of them.

Fully agree with Vishal Mehta! Unfortunately, got the same issue with solidclicks
Some others, which like to protect solidclix, writing that they are working already a "long time" together with solidclix.

This can be only fake comments, because the domain got registered March 22, 2013 - a little bit more than 2 years ago. It is different what some people understand about a "long time"!
