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 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.

Android Ransomware - Porn Droid

AndroidAs of late, zscaler ran over another variation of Porn Droid - an Android ransomware variation guaranteeing to be from the FBI, which blames individuals for watching youngster porn and after that requests a fine of USD 500.

It at first seems to the client as though they are downloading an obscene feature, yet once the client taps on the document, it takes on the appearance of the Google patch overhaul and traps the client into introducing the application.

Screenshot Update Patch Installation
It looks like a patch application

In the wake of clicking "Continue", the malware requests head access to the gadget asking for consents, for example, "Erase all data", "Set storage encryption", "Change the screen-unlock password" as demonstrated in screenshot beneath.

Screenshot: Activate Device Administrator - Porn Droid
Admin access

Once the client taps on the "ACTIVATE" button, the malware gets head control of the gadget and locks it while showing a fake FBI cautioning as seen underneath. It bolts the client's telephone by incapacitating keyguard and sets top need for the malware application which guarantees that no other application or client action can override the malware application's movement.

The FBI cautioning screen additionally contains dynamic data significant to the tainted gadget, for example, the program history, IMEI number, telephone number and casualty's photo, which has been taken by the malignant application. This is done to threaten the end client as a notice message proposes that the data will be utilized by the FBI to recognize the client if the fine is not paid.

Why all these campaign offers from the low wage countries are SCAM?

Scam SchoolA company, which likes to outsource a campaign, is searching for a consultancy or outsourcing agency locally. The reason for this is that they like to feel save and have the same law situation for a contract. A local company can get easily verified. The hired consultancy agency gets paid from the outsourcer directly. It is normal that this one, which hires someone, pays the bill for it. For this are all these campaign offers with upfronts, royalty or however the fee is getting called nothing else then scam, because it shows that the broker or consultant does not have any contract with the client.

If a outsourcer is searching on the Internet abroad, then this one will not search for a consultancy agency or broker. Such a company is searching directly for a center, which can do the work. The contract structure and the verification process will be much more costly in time and workforce then to hire a consultant, which is doing all the work for them.

Additional has each one to respect the law in the destination country of the call. Consumer and customer data are in the traditional outsourcing countries (Australia, Canada, Europe Union, Ireland, New Zealand, USA, etc.) protected by law and are not allowed that others get access to them. Even if customer data are getting stolen this one, which has stored them, has to pay a fine. A nice example for this is the case from AT&T where 280,000 customer records got stolen from their own call center staff. AT&T had to pay a fine of US$ 25,000,000 for this case.  Do you really think that one of such companies give you access to their customer database when they are expecting such fines?

This shows already the reason why all the offered inbound and form filling campaigns are nothing else then scam.  You need only to think about it who is calling or which kind of forms should get filled. The most calls a company receive are coming from customers of the company. What can you do with such an incoming call if you have no access to the customer database? You are only able to forward the call to somebody, which has access to it. In such a case this one can pick up the call by himself too. The company will not save anything by outsourcing such a process. So why they shall outsource this kind of process?

Think now about the form filling process. Such campaigns have been available before the digital revolution has started. I started programming computer systems around 38 years ago. Since 30 years are already personal computer available. 1986 got the SQL (Structured Query Language) the first standardization. Since around 20 years are SQL databases in common use for storing data. That means all the data, which should get filled in forms, are already since more than 20 years digital available and the programs are able to fill forms automatically. There is no need to enter some data manually – the digital Stone Age is already a long time over! Why should you pay someone for a copy and paste work if there are programs are available which are doing the work within seconds?

Do you really think that any author is writing by hand or on a type writer? The first program I remember having used for writing letters has been Wordstar. The version 1 got sold already in the year 1978. It has been running on the CP/M System from Digital Research already and got later on ported to the system of MSDOS. Since 1983 is Microsoft Word available. Why should an author use a type writer or write his books by hand in this case? It is much easier to type it on a computer and forward it by email to the publisher, the editor can make easily his changes and forward it directly to the pressroom. With the export function is it easily to bring the book without typing into the eBook format. There is no manual interaction necessary. The books are getting stored for a reissue. Even old book got already digitalized during the past 30 years. So there is no need for eBook typing. Think about it, why should you pay an upfront fee for such a work? The answer is very simple: The scammer cannot get paid from any client for the invented process and the upfront fee is his only possible income in this case!

The next big scam is the tech support where the center should buy calls and charge the caller for the provided service.  In this case the center takes the risk about the way the calls are getting generated. A legal way to generate such calls is with advertising not possible. With advertisings at the best visited sites you can get one or two calls per day, because everybody knows someone, which can help by computer problems. The most common problems are network and driver problems. With network problems you have no access to the remote computer and cannot give any help. Driver installation from remote is very difficult too because in the most times you need exactly the model of the hardware part. An end user will not be able to tell it to you. In such a case are only the calls remaining, which are generated by scareware. Such scareware is illegal and the center can up in jail for making money generated by scareware, viruses, ransomware, etc. As the center is making money with the incoming calls is it reasonable that the center is the programmer or the distributor of the criminal software. The seller of the calls will be already trackless disappeared in such a case and the center owner will be alone in front of the law court. The devil takes the hindmost.

 

Which campaigns are remaining for offshore call centers in such a case?

The situation is very simple.  Campaigns other than lead generations from already heavy used data, which are getting traded between the centers, are not really available.

All the offered products from the real campaigns are on a pay per sale base and are well known from the spam emails. To sell such products by already heavy used calling data is not really easy and profitable. It is only profitable for the outsourcer because he is even saving the cost for the staff and has no risk about his product which is unsaleable on a normal way. For the center is it like fishing in troubled waters by taking all the risk.

 

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:

Silvia Beri

Silvia Beri Affiliate Marketing Manager at Supermoney.eu

Latest Mailing Database and e-Market Guruz total SCAM!

Don't trust these two companies if you have to buy data, they're total scam! 

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!!!
Vishal Mehta commented the posting with:
Vishal Mehta
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.

    printscreen of solidclix's system report as per zoomtraffics aff_id (1770)
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

Screenshot email from Zoom Traffic to SolidClix

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"!

Scam campaign from mpavistechnologies.com

mpavistechnologies.comI had one campaign listed from mpavistechnologies.com, which has not been scam. I have delisted this campaign as soon as I found Tech Support offers from mpavistechnolgies in Facebook. The tech support offers are all scam. The calls are getting generated by scareware, which is called computer fraud. From advertisements, even on Google, you'll not get enough calls, that it will be profitable to sell the calls. All the consumer protection organizations around the world are already warning about the "Tech Support calls".

I got forwarded a campaign from mpavistechnlogies.com. mpavistechnologies.com did not send me the campaign description directly, because they know that I'll classify such a campaign only as scam.

Q & A

You will be calling potential customers all over the U.S. Looking for customers, who are interested, cooperative, are the home owner and are not currently under contract with another security company.  You will live transfer those calls to our closing agents.

Do you charge set up fees?
We do not charge set up fees nor do we charge for the right to do the campaign. All we ask is that you pay for your VOIP.

We are investing in you - We supply the dialer, Leads and the VAKA (non-voice software). This all costs money that we provide to you for free - We also are investing our time, not only getting you set up, but also the initial and ongoing training.

 

  • If you decide to supply the dialer, then are the costs of the dialer your problem and not the problem of the call center. The call center can do nothing to influence this costs and for this are this costs not the problem of the center. Any existing dialer or the call center is not increasing his value because it is not get used. 

  • Data and leads are the problem of the client. If the data or the leads are not good, then the best call center will fail. 

  • You like to use VAKA, for this are the costs for the software your problem and not the problem of the center. If you think VAKA is the best solution for you, then you need to supply it and you'll never be able to bill it to the call center.

  • You are investing your time? If you decide to that a call center has to use your system, then you have to train them on your software. For this you get paid from the client!

So you have can even not say that you are investing already enough for the center if you are really investing NOTHING!!!

 

What are the VOIP charges?
The cost of the VOIP is .0079 per minute - You should budget $2 - $4 per agent per day

Can you use your own VOIP Provider?
No. We require that everyone use our VOIP provider, both the opening centers and the closing centers. The reason we do it is to avoid all the tech issues and to provide you with accurate reporting on all calls. Our calling plan allows for all the calls to be connected through tier one and two providers and offer more termination points and outgoing channels that any other provider. Because everyone is on the same system, using the same VOIP provider we do not experience latency issues, echoes, delays and disconnections. The calls are clean and flawless.

Do you profit from the centers using your VOIP Provider?
No. We do not profit from this. You get charged, what we get charged.

Can you deduct the VOIP from future payouts?
The VOIP must be prepaid in order to get started. It is not our VOIP Company (3rd party) - We do not pay it for you.
We will set up the VOIP account for you and provide you with the web portal and show you how to proceed

You will have complete control, as you will have access to the Web Portal (VOIP provider) there, you will be able to load your minutes and receive your VOIP reports

As you provide dialer, leads, client software, etc. you should not search for call centers, which are paying your VoIP minutes. The call centers have no possibility to influence the dialing behavior, the data quality and all surroundings. For this you have to provide the VoIP minutes too. In this case you can run your own center with your own agents. For what you'll need some call centers in this case? With this offer you show that you need them only for paying your phone bills and the salary of the agents!!!

YOU SHOW WITH THIS OFFER ALREADY THAT YOU NOT TRUST INTO THE CAMPAIGN!!!

PayPal
You must set up a PayPal account both to make payment to VOIP provider and to receive payment from us. It is really simple to do - Just go to their website and set up an account - It is the easiest method and the cheapest

What is the pay out?
We will pay you $6 per transfer, with a 60 second buffer

What is a 60 second buffer and why is it needed?
A 60 second buffer means, that when the call is transferred the closing agent has 60 seconds to determine if the transferred call was a qualified transfer, meaning the customer was interested, cooperative, was the home owner (not a renter) and was not under contract with another security company - if the call goes 60 seconds or greater, the transferred call will be considered billable and therefore you will be paid on it.

Here you show exactly what I have said before. You don't trust your data and your product. For this you offer a pay per sale. You are proofing that already in your next sentence "they must be a home owner". With this you show that you have data, but they are not selected to be from home owners. The call center shall sort the data out for you. With such data you can only offer a pay per hour per agent!!!

What are the qualifications for a transferred call?
There are 2 criteria for the calls to be transferred - 1) they must be a home owner and not a renter 2) they must not be under contract with another security company. They can have a preexisting security system; they just can’t be under contract, meaning the contract must have expired. We cannot accept either of the above - Therefore, it is in the agreement - If we see that you are transferring an unacceptable amount of renters or customers that are under contract, we will terminate the arrangement. - It means your agents are not doing their jobs, asking the correct questions and getting the correct answers

What can my center achieve?
That really all depends upon you and your agents - Your agents should be able to achieve 4 billable transfers per day each - Keep in mind, in an 8 hour day that is only 1 transfer every 2 hours. Your agents will be speaking to 500 people a day - That’s 1 out of every 125 people.

Your agents will be dialing 3000 - 5000 numbers per day each - speaking with between 300 - 500 customers a day

Let us make an example: In average a call gets answered after 3 times ringing. 3 times ringing is taking around 15 seconds. If we are dialing 3000 numbers then we can calculate the dialing time of 15 seconds * 3000 calls / 3600 = 12.5 hours for a 10 hours working day (Monday until Thursday).

The other way is you are using a dialer, which is already illegal in the USA. In this case you need to have a lot of money for the fine from the FTC. If you have millions of dollars why do you cry in this case about the VoIP minutes? It is nice from you that you are providing the dialer, because in this case you will get the punishment and not the center.

Take a look at http://news.wwpa.com/post/2015/04/30/ftc-and-ten-state-attorneys-general-take-action-against-political-survey-robocallers-pitching-cruise-line-vacations-to-the-bahamas. The responsible companies got punished with fines over 5 millions of dollars. Why are you crying about VoIP minutes and hourly rates for the agents if you have so much money in your wallet?

In any case your system is dialing and that need to be done on your own bill and not on the bill of the center. The center has no influence on this dial behavior.

 

What is your pay schedule?
The week starts on Friday and ends on Thursday - You will be paid the next day (Friday) - You will be paid via PayPal.

Is it possible to send payment to our international merchant account?
No, only if it is attached to your PayPal Account.

Calling Schedule
All times are based on EST. At present, we are open from 9am - 7pm EST Monday - Thursday, 9am - 5pm EST, Friday and 12pm - 5pm EST on Saturday.

53 hours of calling per week = 3180 minutes * 0.0079 = 25.122 $/week or in average 4.187 per day (6 days)

Training.
The scripts and training, we will provide them once the agreement is returned

Please go to tmicomm.com and watch the demo video.
I will personally do a live the training session with all your agents. The training will last approximately 1 1/2 hours. The training is divided into 4 sections 1) Background on the campaign 2) Dialer how it works – how to transfer 3) VAKA – How it works – how the system is laid out, what the recordings to use and when 4) listen to sample recordings of agents on their first days on the job. This will illustrate what the agents can expect and what not to do. It will get them past the learning curve quickly.

Your agents will then role play with each other - One will act as the customer, the other the agent. This will help get them familiarized with the system. Once you feel the agents are proficient, you will be free to start dialing.

Reports Disclosure
You will receive reports everyday showing exactly how many transfers were sent, how many of them where billable, all call durations and how much money is due.

You will also be granted admin access to the dialer reports. You will be able to live monitor your agent’s calls. Have access to all the recordings both, on the opening side and also on the closing side. In addition, you will be able to monitor your agent’s activity. You will know when they sign in, when they are on pause, how many calls they took and the result.

How long does it take to set up?
The set up process is very easy. Once we receive the agreement back, we will set you up in the system. Once that is complete, we will set up your VOIP account. You will then prepay your VOIP. Once set up you will change the audio settings on each agents work station. It will take a few minutes for each one. We will provide explicit directions that are easy to follow. In the event, you still need help our tech department will assist you. The whole process lasts about an hour.

mpavistechnologies.com shows with this offer that they have no idea from the call center business and from the rules of the FTC. They are only searching for someone, which is taking the risk for their campaigns. This one, which takes the risk has no possibility to influence and reduce the risk.
