Offshore Outsourcing & Scammer

Blog about offshore outsourcing and scammer in the outsourcing industry

Scammer: Star Technologies - Form Filling

No ScamsThe Scammer Star Technologies is even not able to use his name in his spam email, which he has sent out. They are even using only free hosting services and the free email from Google. It seems they are so poor that they even have not enough money for registering at least a limited company and a domain. They are thinking that sending out an email with an invented campaign can make them rich by taking some up-front fees.

Everybody is stupid, which sends them some money. If you have done that already than you should go into the next hospital and let check yourself for any mental illness!

In the traditional outsourcing countries are no Form Filling campaigns available. The law does not allow that consumer or customer data are getting accessed from offshore. The fines are very high and since the case from AT&T you'll not find any company, which likes to take such a risk.

You even can be sure that not one company from Australia, Canada, European Union and USA will hire for their outsourcing process a company from India or another low wage country. Especially such companies, which are even not able to present themselves in a serious way. Freemailer, no own domain, etc. are the signs of SCAMMER. Each company will define accuracy parameters if they would outsource such a campaign.

The scammer Star Technologies even is to lazy to inform themselves about the kinds and functions of a bank guarantee. They only try to impress with a lot of words and promises but the even don't know about what they are writing.

You can find the following reports already about Star Technoglogies at this blog:

It seems that Star Technologies is even to stupid for scamming!

 

Scammer: BlessMantra Infotech Pvt. Ltd. - mantragroups.co - Ambuj Mehta

Bless MantraAnother scammer, which likes to get rich fast by cheating others, is BlessMantra Infotech Pvt. Ltd. By asking for a big upfront for the campaign and royalty of 4% - 6%. By doing it this way they are proving that they even have no contract with the client. Only to say that they have "genuine" projects is too less for entering into business with BlessMantra Infotech Pvt. Ltd. Each one is stupid and guilty by himself if he gets scammed which enters in such a business relationship.

Dear Sir,
 
Form filling depends on the employee itself. You can fill 70-75 forms per day or more than that depending on the observation and typing speed of your employee.
 
I m sending you url of one of form filling process and id & password.
 
You can open that and can generate pages to be filled up
Note:- The url will be of UKHCM process.
 
In another 2 form filling process there is a fix payout for filling fix 65 forms per day per employee.There is no QC/QA parameter in that 2 processes.
 
May I kindly know that what is the strength available over there???. We have slots that's why i m asking(1 slot= 10 seats) so that we can calculate that how many slots will be covered up for further processing.

Dear Sir,
 
First of all we do not projects without upfronts.We are providing legal outsourcing projects But IF you want we can split them into 2 parts(i.e 70%- 30%) which is that we can take 3.5 lakhs at first or another 1 lakhs after that when you receive your advance payment( for voice processes) or at first billing(for non-voice process). 
 
Another thing if you really to initiate business with us then we also cut down our royalty charges to 6% or 4%.
If you are ready to give full consultancy charge at once we can cut it down to 4 lakhs instead of 4.5 lakhs but then royalty would be only cut down to 6% and same would be in non-voice processes(i.e 70%-30%)
 
Another thing do not worry about your payment or money. We take full responsibility of your funds. You have our All company documents(i.e certi. of incorporation, PAN card,etc).
 
If you want i can send You the copy of our agreement of Projects on Legal Stamp Papers.
 
And if you want you can visit our office at any time Monday To Friday between 10 to 7 pm.
 

Sorry, but everybody needs to worry about his money if he gets such an offer. It can be only SCAM. An office is mostly rented and a credit report of such company, which is only a little bit older than 1.5 years will not be available. It is easy to disappear for the company owner if he got the money and don't forget that you cannot reach into the pocket of a naked one.

Mantra GroupsTo make a better impression they are calling themselves Mantra Group and divide their start page into BlessMantra Infotech Pvt. Ltd. and Magic Mantra Events. It seems that for making for each "company" a own domain has not been enough money available. The money got used for hiding the domain ownership by hiring a privacy service from Panama. Each scammer is working this way. They need to hide themselves for having more time to disappear.

Additional the have made a mistake at their signature. The text in the link to mantragroups.co is correct but the in the link itself they have forgotten the letter "r" from mantra. This makes a pleasant impression about BlessMantra Infotech Pvt. Ltd. too.

It seems that they are not able to write their own homepage address somewhere because the Alexa global ranking shows us for the nearly two year old domain mantragroups.co the impressing traffic ranking of 7,413,560 which means that the site is a big secret in the world wide web. Maybe one visitor per 6 months get lost in the world wide web and end up on the site of mantragroups.co:

The offered form filling campaign does not show if it is a copy & paste process, but it shows that the data, which should get entered are protected by the data protection law of the outsourcing country. Not one company will take the risk and outsource such a process. The fines only for giving someone access to consumer data in the European Union are € 50,000 - € 58,000.

Additional is the site ukhcm.com registered by using a privacy protection service from Australia and hosted in the U.S. The domain is a little bit older than one year. It seems the domain got created only for something to show but with the missing data they cannot impress someone. I expect on a demo site a few data where I can test the quality and the speed I can enter the data.

The demonstration page does not contain any data and is looking like it got generated by a simple and cheap webpage generator:

Summary: By taking all the facts together then BlessMantra Infotech Pvt. Ltd. makes the impression of a being a scammer instead of a trustful business partner. As the statement from BlessMantra Infotech Pvt. Ltd. in their email is "First of all we do not projects without upfronts" are they proving that they don't have any contract with a client. For this they are not able to sell something for which they have not rights. Someone, which likes to sell something without any rights is nothing else than a criminal, fraudster or a scammer. Everyone which makes business with such people is guilty by himself. Not one normal thinking person will accept such conditions and pays for work. BlessMantra Infotech Pvt. Ltd. not be able to find a real client which is paying them for their work and for this they are trying to survive by scamming others.

Form Filling Scammer: SurfaceBPO - Purushottam Maheshwari - surfacebpo.com

Surface BPO & ConsultantsThis process shows that the some people never learned something in their life. Even a person, which calls himself to be a "director", belongs to such a group of people. Maybe he hopes that the title "director" makes him more believable and trustful. In German language we call such people: "Stupid born and learned nothing."

Lets start with the email he sent out:

G00DProject G00D Relat!on !s our Aim

The scammer proves in the above campaign description that he has no contract with a client and for this he likes to get an invention fee of (Business Procurement charge + Consultancy charge) of 135,000 INR. ( For 10 seats) / 1 seat 18,000 INR. / 5 seats 85,000 INR. plus taxes. This fee is fixed and non-negotiable. At the email signature is something other written: "About Upfront please discuss , we want satisfaction only". We see how different the content already is!

He has provided a picture of the form:

Screenshot of the Form

 

And also he has provided a picture of the sample data:

Screenshot from the sample data

The data are showing personal data from the United States. According the data protection law of the U.S. are such data specially protected. The fines are very high and not one company would risk to get fined for outsourcing such data.

As such a copy & paste process does not make any sense. There is enough software available on the market, which can automatize this process with 100% accuracy and faster than manual entry. If the client has nobody, which makes it for him on the direct way - a simple import into the database by using for example Microsoft Access or a similar program, he can buy the program iMacro from IpSwitch. The price for the Enterprise edition of this program is less than he need to pay for one agent for one month work. You can read about the functionality of this program at http://wiki.imacros.net/Form_Filling.

You see there is no reason to outsource such a form filling project and have the risk to get fined for more than US$ 18,000 per record. Do you think that U.S. companies are really so stupid as the scammer and don't know how to do such a work?

Additional is a simple text file as payment proof is more a bad joke than a proof! The scammer is thinking that all are more stupid then himself!!!

Scammer: Wizard Technologies - Kruti Thakkar - wizardstechnologies.com

Wizards TechnologiesKruti Thakkar from Wizard Technologies did not learn until now that form filling campaigns are nothing else then SCAM. Loan data are protected by the banking secrecy and by the U.S, consumer protection law. Any company, which will give you access to such data will pay a fine of more than US$ 16,000 per customer record! Do you really think that you can find one company which will take such a risk?

You see by the offer that nobody from Wizard Technologies has an idea how data are getting handled in a high tech country like the U.S. There are all data already in electronic readable form available. A form filling process is not necessary.

Inside the attachment we'll find a Word document with the following content:

E- Secured Loan Online Portal Delivery Management

Sign-Up: Direct with US Client

Min- seats:10

Payment cycle: Monthly

Client will provide: The BG for 1 month billing amount i.e. $12,000.

Payout: Client will be paying $1,200 as a fixed Pay for each employee each month.

Shift timing: 9am to 5pm.

Working Days: 5 days.

 

Entries Information-

  • The form consists of 5 pages with complete information of delivery of product.
  • There is no specific target initially however minimum 65 forms need to be submitted daily/Seat.
  • Consultancy charges 4 Lacs for 10 seats.
  • No Quality parameter or accuracy parameters are applicable.
  • Minimum quality standard only need to be maintained so as to assure quality work.
  • The client understand the initial problem with center so, the option, changes and support would be available.
  • The Document and SLA need to be submitted on their Fax Number directly to the company.
  • All interested center can directly submit information after the verification submitted by us.
  • It is a fix payout process with no short coming initially agreed to pay $1200 per seat per month.
  • The invoice needs to be raised after 26 days working by center.
  • It would be cleared in short of 7-10 business days.
  • Client is ready to provide bank guarantee of the payment for the work done by centre valid for 6 month.

As the stupidity of the offer is not enough already, Wizard Technologies adds in their fantasy a time frame for the work without a time zone. Maybe they are thinking until now that there is only one time zone available. That shows that they have never got any education. I ask myself how could they survive until today?

For the scam campaign they even ask for 4 lacs up-front fee. Official broker and consultants of a company are getting paid from the client and not from the center. The up-front fee is only an additional prove that the campaign is nothing else then SCAM!!!

As normally scammer need to hide themselves behind some privacy protection services. That we can see here too. The domain registration data from wizardstechnologies.com:

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.
