Scammer: Peter Bragansa aka David Gordon - midastechs.com - Tech Support Payment Gateway

Scammer Peter BragansaIn the offer from the scammer Peter Bragansa - petebrag@gmail.com - Tech Support Payment Gateway we'll should find some more information about some people participating in the scam. It should look like, that

... by and between and Midas Techs and its Group of Companies (together known as MTcorp at 511 Avenue Of The Americas, Suite 95 New York City, NY 10011 a USA company, ...

is nothing else than a group of scammers. For the case that someone likes to believe, that the scammer Peter Bragansa is misusing the name from Midas Techs, this one needs to remember, that one condition to enter into business with these shady types of business man is:

INSTRUCTIONS: SIGN ABOVE AND EMAIL SCANNED COPY OF CURRENT GOVERNMENT ISSUED IDENTIFICATION TO centers@midastechs.com

Why shall someone ask you to send scanned copies to his email address at his domain?

What can get proved with scanned ids?
Already this fact shows that the scammer is never a real business man. Copies can even not get used in front of a law court. Cross border contracts have to get signed in front of a notary and the signatures need to get confirmed all levels up until the ministry of interiors and by the embassy of the other country. Otherwise the contract will even not have the value of the paper on which it gets printed.

For what purpose like this idiot to get copied id's? Is identity theft his his second source of income?

There is a small chance, that the scammer Peter Bragansa is the domain administrator from MidasTechs, located in 2017 Glenwood Way, Midlothian, TX 76065. The provided US phone number (707) 564-3275 from the homepage of MidasTechs has the prefix from Vacaville, California and seems to be a Google voice number. At least 411.com provides this information about the phone number (707) 564-3275. Why a company, which is offering PC support, located in Texas shall use a phone number from California? Google voice phone numbers with the prefix from Texas are also available.

Another suspicious point is, that MidasTechs is hiding their offer of support plans at their homepage behind a password:

Does MidasTechs fear that someone will erroneously order a support package from them?

More interesting is the UK freephone number provided at the homepage from midastechs.com. The UK phone number gets found at the homepages adsoclick.com and 247masters.com from the Tech Support Scammer - ADS O CLICK LIMITED - UK Company Number 10219203. Additional gets the same number found at the homepage informationkarma.com from the Tech Support Scammer: Seven Monies Services Ltd. - Geetika Dawer - Arora Ashish located in Canada.

It looks like that Peter Bragansa aka David Gordon needs someone who is making and paying the promotion for his phone numbers. Everybody knows that the tech support offers are scam. It even does not help him, writing into the contract what is all not allowed. He destroys by his own conditions the only one reason why someone would sign up such a contract.

Someone provided the following information to me:

They said that they were MidasTechs at PO Box 8734, Midlothian, TX 76065. This is not a valid mailing address, but it is the address listed on the web site www.midastechs.com. 

Google earth picture from the address of MidasTechs:

Ellis CAD - Property Search shows as actual owner from the property:

Owner ID: 124640
Name: HINMAN LARRY & CARLA
Mailing Address: 2017 GLENWOOD WAY
MIDLOTHIAN, TX 76065-7503

An email about the existence of a company with the name MidasTechs or about the expected owner David Gordon got answered from the Texas Secretary of State as following:

Betreff: RE: Question about business search in Texas

Good Morning,

Our records reflect no active or inactive listing for MidasTechs as a corporation, limited liability company, nonprofit organization, limited partnership, or assumed name. Not all entities are filed with the Secretary of State. Sole Proprietorships and General Partnerships are filed at the County Clerk’s office of the county in which they are located. 

Sincerely, 

Brandy Williams
Corporations
Texas Secretary of State

Some states, like Texas, register fictitious business names or "doing business as" names, or sole proprietorships, etc., at the county level (every state has dozens of different counties within it).  Those are harder to search for because most counties don’t have online access to their records.

But anyone can do business as anything that they want. It is very unlikely that someone might get fined by the state for not registering his fictitious business name, but there is nothing to stop somebody from doing business with an unregistered name.

There are for me a lot of questions open:

  • Why someone should give someone 20-30% from his own income for only getting a payment gateway?

  • Why should a legal company pay for a service more than 10 times the price for what it can get cheaper?
    For a percentage between 1% and 3% is a contract with a real payment processor or a credit card corporator possible.

  • The bounties for foreign transfers are not very low. So why shall someone make an additional cross border transfer and pay additional 20%-30% for the gateway provider?

  • What a center gets really for letting another scammer participating on their work?

  • By reading the contract at Google Docs (.pdf (234.25 kb)), I'll get the feeling that the scammer likes to make himself to the the boss of the center. Who enjoys it to hire a boss by himself?

Scammer: Peter Bragansa is overestimating himself

The scammer Peter Bragansa thinks, that everybody has nothing else to do as waiting that he gets a call from him. The first call I got today on my mobile phone, but for some technical reasons, connection problems or he has been using some suspicious VoIP provider, I could not hear him. He dialed immediately again, but the call dropped before I could pick it up.

Afterwards he tried to call my US number, but his problem has been that I have been out and the phone has been ringing at my home.

It does even not make any sense, that someone calls me in anger, because I'm not fighting using the phone. I'm even not discussing on the phone some serious facts. If someone likes to discuss something serious with me, he has to use email, because I prefer the written words, which can get used as a proof.

His LinkedIn invitation, which he has sent to me, says already enough about the character of Peter Bragansa:

He has written in this invitation shown above:

hey buddy why are you blocking me? don't you want to be friends?
you want some nasty surprises? you're a scammer, really and truly,
as google shows. and now i'm going to expose you. however, as a bonafide
sociopath, you have a habit of trying to make others seem like scammers. kisses .

For a first contact are the words not very friendly, but anyway I'll accept his request at LinkedIn, but I'm not a homosexual, who likes to get kisses from him.

Anyway I have accepted his invitation. He sent one message and before I could answer it, he blocked me at LinkedIn. Here is a screenshot:

Why he asks me "Ok, who are you and why are you going around badmouthing me?", if he does not like to get an answer?

Peter Bragansa is the one who is blocking, because he has sent me on Facebook the following message too:

adfafdf
where are you?
i need you.
don't u love me anymore?
i'm so horny for you.
don't hide from me.
i had a good laugh today with all your insanity

I even cannot send him an answer, because he is blocking me:

In such a case he can be, as he has written in his message "i'm so horny for you" as much as he likes, if he blocks it by himself, he would never be successful. What else can get expected from a scammer who is a janitor at a truck stop? Low level primitive language, endless stupidity, missing intelligence and much more negatives.

By commenting to my postings he shows additional his missing intelligence:

WARNING: RUDOLF FAIX OF WWPA IS A SCAMMER. check out his google results rap sheet. just type " rudolf faix scammer" in google. just the first page has ten results of people complaining about him. he has a blog where he libels people and doesn't allow comments. plus, he deletes the comments from the conversations where he calls you a scammer. we have never worked with him or have any dealings at all and he started posting libelous posts on his blog. He may be trying to extort money all around.He may not even be a real person but a fictitious profile. DO NOT WORK OR BELIEVE THIS “PERSON”.

Hi, first of all I don't know Mrs. Faix. However, after googling her name and the word "scammer" I have found numerous scam alerts on Google about her! Here is a list of the first ten results: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1aCqwqDXRy_aW41azc0cnJzclU

As far as her posts on her blog, since there is no way to answer or comment on there, I made these annotations, and If you want to have a good laugh, like I did in annotating them, take a look. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1aCqwqDXRy_aW41azc0cnJzclU

Now, this is serious however, since reputation must be guarded at all costs and since I am an honest person, if anyone wants to contact me directly at my email address (which I have had since April 2004) and receive copies of the $10 million receipts of wires I have to sent to India, please do so. to be clear: MY COMPANY AND I HAVE PAID OUT MORE THAN $10 MILLION TO INDIAN CALL CENTERS IN THE TECH SUPPORT INDUSTRY and we don't scam customers or vendors.

Yes, there have been times when banks closed accounts and centers lost money; but is less than 3 % of the total paid to centers. I am not the only person in the industry, banks are involved, payment processors etc. Thank you.

Does Peter Bragansa really think that someone, who is running such a site like me, where he is presenting the results of scams, is able to run any business?

Does he think that he is the first one, which has the idea of a revenge posting and hiding himself afterwards by blocking his opponent?

I think already this facts are enough proof of the missing intelligence from Peter Bragansa.

It does not matter how much money he has paid to someone in India. It is enough what it is written in the complaints found at the Better Business Bureau (BBB) about AllFixTech, where Peter Bragansa even did not have enough money available for refunding a customer the enormous sum of $50 in time. Such a person likes to brag with $10 Million dollars paid since 2004? Will even his sick grandmother believe him such a fairy tale?

Forwarding money, earned from a scam, is never a genuine business. It is only supporting scammers by participating at their criminal action. It is the same business like Peter Bragansa is doing with his partner Manuel Rubindecelis. Maybe Peter Bragansa is thinking the end justifies the means. By taking a look into the Internet archives, you'll see that the websites alldaytechsupport.com, allfixtech.com and superiordigitalsupport.com had all the same content and have been differing only by the pictures, phone numbers and addresses. Scammer are lazy. They are even too lazy to use their own brain. Aguard, Web Of Trust, Malwarebytes and hphosts are not warning of scammer sites for the reason they don't have nothing better to do than defaming serious sites. If one of these services is warning from some websites, then it is a real warning from some Computer Crime! Such facts are even idiots like Peter Bragansa able to discuss away!

The Better Business Bureau is not an invention from me. If someone likes to know more about the BBB organisation then I'll recommend him to read the short version of their history at WikiPedia.

Scam gets prosecuted in India too. For example there gets found an article at IndiaOnAir: Delhi Police arrested desperate cheater.

In such a case are even not helping some threats. People who are living in glass houses should not throw stones:

Peter Bragansa even don't know what he likes. At the following email he even likes to visit me and bring me milk and cookies. He even don't know, that the next farm is not far away from my place, only 2 minutes to walk. There you can get milk directly from the source:

Some people would understand these words in another way, but I think every time about the best possible interpretation. We even have in German language a proverb: "Dogs, that bark, don't bite".

Peter Bragansa is so stupid, that he thinks that some center from India have hired me for destroying his reputation. He even does not recognize it, that I'm writing about the scam where his hired centers are fixing problems, which don't exist (screenshot):

I have $10 million in wire receipts to India.
What do you have ? A blog. someone hired
you to bad mouth me; and there's MORE
complaints about you (and not from people that you've
tried to extort, just victims of your business ineptitude)
than there are of me or my company.

Some indian center didn't get paid; it's not my fault.
They got high chargebacks etc.

anyway, it's funny how presumptous you are,
that I can't make demands, really quite funny,
I will warn you again; you are going into a bad place
and when you go there, there's no turning back.

Turn back now because I have faced much bigger
enemies than you. I am having a laugh here
and your extortion won't work except to ruin
you. Be extremely careful, I am warning you again.
You are not safe on the internet or physically
if you choose to fuck with us.

I think you're in denial that you're just a corrupt
person and that your attitude of being the
"justice bringer" is just a cover for your
ineptitude in business and bad character.
But hey, I'm not a psychiatrist.

It is nice that Peter Bragansa admits in his own emails, that he is not only scamming computer users. He is scamming centers too. A professional fraudster makes no difference in the choice of his victims.

Again he is bragging with the 10 million dollars that he likes to have paid to centers since 2004 - in the last 13 years. If we divide the 10 million by 13 years, then we have in average $769,230/year, what he likes to have paid to centers. If we are looking at his offer, then we know that he is earning in average 25%. In this case the $769,230 are the 75% he has paid and 25% make in sum 256,410/year. Hardly to believe, but like it gets shown at the Better Business Bureau, he could not refund $50 to one of his victims just in time? Maybe the tax office will be very interested in his statement?

Intelligence is not commercially available.

The scammer told him, that his IP address had been compromised and that his details were at risk unless he let them help him get rid of the problem. Near the end of the article is written:

On May 11, 2016 got published at YouTube a 36 minutes long video, which shows how the scam is running on the victims site. The description is:

She attempts to Ping a website in Command Prompt and claims there are hackers entering my system. The Scammer has her own difficulties as the Supremo client continually crashed. At the end I confront her and her Supervisor and they both run off.

Update March 14, 2017: Arora Ashish thinks that he is able to hide himself behind the privacy protection law. This get shown in an email he sent to me. His problem is only that all these data I have published are available in public and can get found by the major search engines of the Internet. These data are already public and I have only combined them. If he likes to file a case for the privacy protection law, then he needs to file a case against the UK Companies House and against the Canadian government, because from there are the data.

Another fact is confirming his scam. Arora Ashish has changed the registration of his domain SEVENMONIES.COM to a privacy protection service. He does not know, that real business people have nothing to hide. As all his threats in his emails did not help him to get removed from my site, he tried to attack me by searching for some revenge postings on the Internet (PissedConsumer.com). Aorora Ashish merely showed his true character with this action.

 

Tech Support Scammer - ADS O CLICK LIMITED - UK Company Number 10219203

By searching for the source of the phone number 0800-014-8573 (UK), provided by the Scammer: Peter Bragansa - petebrag@gmail.com - Tech Support Payment Gateway, I found the company ADS O CLICK LIMITED, registered since June 7, 2016 in the UK. Director and secretary is YADAV, Birendra, born January 1988, having Indian citizenship and is living in India. The filed statement of capital on June 7, 2016 is GBP 1.

The phone number 0800-014-8573 gets used at the websites of adsoclick.com, 247masters.com and from the Tech Support Scammer: Seven Monies Services Ltd. - Geetika Dawer - Arora Ashish operating from Canada.

The owner of the domains adsoclick.com and 247masters.com is Sam Todds, CMB Solutions, 32 Nishant Kunj Pritam Pura, New Delhi, 110032, India. +91-919-654483130, cmbsolution@outlook.com

adsoclick.com provides now an empty website and 247masters.com even don't resolve. That means that the DNS-Server does not provide any IP address for a website.

Even CompaniesInTheUK (screenshot right) is warning about the count of companies registered with this postcode using the words: 18,060 companies also use this postcode, this might be a mail forwarding service address.

Alexa returns about the domains adsoclick.com and 247masters.com the information: We don't have enough data to rank this website.

The Internet archive WayBackMaschine has captured the content from 247masters.com 3 times between January 9, 2016 and October 1, 2016.

As the Google cache shows about 247masters.com that the website has been active until 15. Febr. 2017 14:21:33 GMT. There got promoted:

Which kind of tech support ADD O CLICK LIMITED offers, gets shown at a Facebook posting:

Hey HH! Love your channel here in Australia. I just pranked Microsoft support (1800 674 185). Apparently they don't support my Raspberry Pi running Linux.... :'))

The same 0800-014-8573 (UK) phone number gets used promoted at the website of informationkarma.com.

The domain informationkarma.com got registered by: Ashish Arora, 2667 Markwood Court, Mississauga, Ontario, L5N 4K5, Canada, +1-905-997-0256. AshishArora@gmx.net

At the homepage informationkarma.com gets provided as address 71-75, Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, Wc2H 9Jq, United Kingdom.

At the same address gettting found:
1stformations.co.uk and gardenstudios.com - both websites are providing virtual offices enabling scammers to register fake UK companies.

The building found Google Streetview at the address 71-75, Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, Wc2H 9Jq, United Kingdom:

The website informationkarma.com provides the UK company number 10219203 - the registration number from ADS O CLICK LIMITED.

The Alexa Traffic statistics for the domain informationkarma.com shows that maybe the domain informationkarma.com has one visitor per day and can never be the source of tech support calls. With other words is the domain informationkarma.com a big secret in the world wide web:

Scammer: HiFlyer Soft Bags Private Limited - Vikram Pratap Singh - Priya Sajnani

Logo from the scammer HiFlyer OutsourcingAn old proverb says: "What sounds too good to be true, it is!". Even self-praising in a spam email will not help them. So Aaditya Panchal lies in her spam email already. If someone from the company HiFlyer Soft Bags Private Limited is self-praising themselves with the sentence "We are in BPO outsourcing business with in-house BPO from last 6 year+", then everybody finds the lie by themselves. It is easy by taking a look at the company registration data from HiFlyer Soft Bags Private Limited. There get found that the company got founded on August 22, 2013 and has been going active on December 29, 2015. The company exists a little bit more than 3 years and is working since only one year. Maybe the time in India is running faster than at the rest of the world. Here are the company registration details:

03503120 PRIYA SAJNANI 29/12/2015 -
03503129 VIKRAM PRATAP SINGH 29/12/2015 -

The begin date of the directors above, shows the date when the company has been going active. It seems that the company name has been preregistered and at the provided address you'll find more than 5,350 other companies too. The provided address is nothing else than a mail forwarding service.

By taking a look at the companies from Vikram Pratap Singh, DIN 03503129, then we'll find the who is who of the scammer companies:

CIN/FCRN Company Name Begin Date End Date
U55101GJ2001PTC039175 VRX HOSPITALITY SERVICES PRIVATE LIMITED 05/03/2016 -
U29307GJ2011ULT067164 MOGAL ENERGY PRIVATE LIMITED 10/03/2015 -

U72300GJ2015PTC083524 KRAZY MANTRA TECHNOLOGIES PRIVATE LIMITED 15/06/2015 -

The same is valid for the companies of his partner Priya Sajnani, DIN 03503120:

CIN/FCRN Company Name Begin Date End Date
U55101GJ2001PTC039175 VRX HOSPITALITY SERVICES PRIVATE LIMITED 05/03/2016 -

U72200GJ2015PTC085169 KRAZY MANTRA E-COMMERCE PRIVATE LIMITED 26/11/2015 -

By comparing the directorship from Vikram Pratap Singh and Priya Sajnani then we'll see that they have around 4 years experience in the organized crime of scamming call centers by using different company names.

You can be sure that there not one client from the offers above really exists. Vikram Pratap Singh only likes to get your money. As soon he got the "refundable security deposit", you'll hear or read only that it takes some time and later on you'll get blocked in any communication.

All the offers above are scam. Consumer data are in the traditional outsourcing countries, Australia, European Union and USA, protected by the law. These ones, who have collected the data, are responsible for protecting them and for any abusive usage. Not one client from the traditional outsourcing country is able to provide you data or give you access to his customer database. The fines for breaking the data protection law are very high. You can see an example how high the fines are in the article “Data of 280,000 customers stolen: AT & T lost over $ 25 million”. Why companies shall take the risk for paying high fines for making their data accessible to offshore centers?

In a normal case the client, who is hiring a broker, has to pay for the services provided by the broker. As there exists not one client in the offers from the email above, the scammer have no other income possibility than asking for a "security deposit". A security deposit gets normally asked if someone provides some goods or some expensive services, but in the case of offshore outsourcing the call center can ask for a security deposit because they are investing their workforce of the agents and into phone minutes for the client. It is looking like the joke of the decade if a client is investing nothing and for this nothing he likes to get a security deposit. Everybody can be sure, that not one client will hire a broker from abroad, located in a low wage country. That means all such offers are nothing else than scam.

The serial scammer Vikram Pratap Singh is known for his scam offers already a long time. He changes his company names like others their underwear:
