What sounds to good to be true, it is. This proverb is valid for the spam offer from Vikram Gupta too. It even seems that Vikram Gupta is the same person like Anil Aghori, a self promoted black magician, and Jitender Kumar, at his name are the domains used for the scams registered. The scam has his source in India.
Let's take first a look at the spam and scam offer from Vikram Gupta:

How stupid the scammer Alpine BPO Services - Vikram Gupta is, gets shown already in the case that he describes the job as "3 shifts" (around the clock) and adds "Time Zone: Canada Standard Timing", but the "customer base is United States of America". The idiot thinks that Canada has another 24 hours clock than the rest of the world.
As the customer base is United States of America, the client would not take the risk and give you access to their order system, what would be necessary for providing support to inbound callers for shopping, track shipment, inquiry and for handling complaints. The risk that such data are getting misused is simply to high and the fines for breaking the data protection law are in the United States US$ 16,000/record. It is for company even cheaper to hire local staff then taking such a risk.
A company, from which the shares are getting publicly traded on the NYSE, like Nordstrom, Inc. (JWN), will use their company name in each document or offer and not their web shop homepage.
The next joke get found in the attached pdf-file. There is written:
We need to do verification of you center + Director’s + Process In charge + Physical existence of your center + Hard Copy of all Documents with originals, will decide and fix date like : Hiring , Training , SLA ( Service Legal Agreement )
Not one real business man will send his original documents somewhere. They are even useless for any verification process. The offer shows only that the deadbeat Vikram Gupta does even not know how international business gets done. Cross border contracts like the offered one, needs to get confirmed by the ministry of commerce and legalized by the ministry of foreign affairs in both countries of the contract partners and not in a third party country. Otherwise the contract has no value. It would be even useless in front of any law court.
