Offshore Outsourcing & Scammer

Everybody remembers the case of the Panama Papers where shell companies got created for keeping personal financial information private. While offshore business entities are often not illegal, reporters found that some of the Mossack Fonseca shell corporations were used for illegal purposes, including fraud, kleptocracy, tax evasion, and evading international sanctions. A similar kind of company like Mossack Fonseca seems to be A1 Company Services located in Finchley, London, UK. Shell companies can get easily identified by their address which they are using for their mail forwarding service.

One client from A1 Company Services, Leadco Limited, has sent me the following message from using the contact form from my website:

The IP address 135.196.188.253 is really from the UK, but at the Internet are many different proxy services available and an UK domain proves nothing. A view at the homepage from leadcoltd.co.uk returned the joke "We are the leading Marketing Brokers", because the domain and the company is less than 2 months old. Additional is the start-up company LeadCo Limited dreaming from hot ice with their requirements where the call center has to Supply their own data and get Paid per lead. With other words the "Leading Marketing Broker" is thinking that others are investing for him that he can make big money. At the payment time the center has to discuss about the quality of the leads. Already these facts are showing that LeadCo Limited has no idea about the business but the owner from the company seems to have enough reasons to hide his real name and his real location.

LEADCO Limited is registered at the UK Companies House:
Company number: 10133813
Address: 1st Floor 2 Woodberry Grove, Finchley, London, England, N12 0DR
Incorporated on 19 April 2016
Capital: £100

Director: MORRIS, Darren, born July 1980, Nationality British

People who have invested into a limited company (the shareholders) are only responsible for any company debts up-to the amount that they have invested and no more. The capital from the company LEADCO Limited is £100. That means if the debts from the company are higher than the £100 and the company has not enough funds for paying their debts they are bankrupt. In this case the creditors are not getting more in sum than £100, independent how high the debts from such a company are.

A Google search for the address "2 Woodberry Grove, Finchley, London, England, N12 0DR" returned 58,700 results. This count of results seems to be too high for a simple company address. It seems that at this place is something running wrong. One of the search results is 15,826 Companies in N12 0DR, Woodberry Grove, London - Endole and you'll find there really more than 15,000 companies listed with their net worth value and their cash in bank.

Google recognizes the search for an address and provides in such a case in the search results Google Maps, Google Earth and Streetview.

Google Streetview shows us only the Finchley Christian Spiritualist Church. Such a big house where 15,826 companies can have their office inside is simple missing. The Finchley Christian Spiritualist Church has house number 4:

The satellite picture from Google Earth shows us that the house with the address 2 Woodberry Grove, Finchley, London, England, N12 0DR is hiding behind the church and cannot get seen from the street:

Don't let yourself get fooled and think that the big building with the caption Homebase - London North Finchley could be the searched address. This building has the address 679 High Rd, North Finchley, London, N12 0DA and is a Warehouse-like chain for home improvement, DIY and garden equipment, plus furniture. Even this building would be to small for having more than 15,000 companies inside.

The answer is very simple and can get found in the search results for the address at Google. At the same address is working the company A1 Company Services - UK Company Formations. Such services are registering companies and are even providing directors, nominee and secretarial services for a small amount. The business term for such a company is shell company.

The following example shows how marketing deadbeats like outperformgms.com - Jason Macosme - from the Philippines, like to get campaigns with by using lies. Important to know first is that the domain outperformgms.com got registered April 29, 2016 - 33 days ago.

By visiting the website outperformgms.com we'll find the following information by following the "About" link:

All the people shown above have nothing to do with the scammer site outperformgms.com - Jason Macosme:

• The picture, which should show the Chief Executive Officer Mr. Solomon Berg shown in reality Claude Dauphin, a French billionaire, which died September 30, 2015. Isn't it nice that the scammer could bring him back to life?
• The picture, which should show the Site Manager Mr. James Crisostomo, shows in reality a male photo model which gets mainly used for goatee beard. Google returns about 5,690 results for a search of this picture. With other words is this picture "very unique".
• The picture showing the Director of Operation Mr. Daniel Strong has the same quality like the other two ones. You'll can find the picture with the title "The Stock Businessman" at http://travisarnold.com/the-stock-businessman/.

For the above reasons are the provided names nothing else than fakes. Who thinks that such liars can be a trusted business partner? Does anybody think that these guy Jason Macosme is running a call center? Can you trust the message found at the bottom of their site: "© 2009 by Outperform Global Solutions Support"? Don't forget the domain got registered 33 days ago and not in the year 2009.

A proof that outperformgms.com - Jason Macsome has no idea about call center work can get found at the CallCentersForum -http://www.callcentersforum.com/showthread.php?tid=33986&pid=70877 where he posted:

It seems that Farukh Shah tries to generate data by using malware, which gets distributed from his website. For this purpose he is offering since February 24, 2016 at LinkedIn Pulse a campaign HHCRO Boiler Appointment's and provides the email addresses farukhshah@hotmail.com and farukhshah@prachisolutions.com. Luckily is the website prachisolutions.com a big secret in the world wide web as it can get shown in he Alexa statistics about prachisolutions.com, where is written "We don't have enough data to rank this website.".

It does not make any difference if Vasudev Bhat is Farukh Shah or not. Farukh Shah is not an Internet Provider and for this reason he is responsible for the content of a domain and site he is promoting or using as an email address. As the content he is promoting at LinkedIn is the same as found on the website (offering leads) and the website has no visitors is to assume that the website owner is a guy which is calling himself at LinkedIn Farukh Shah. A commercial website, which exists since nearly 5 years (less than 1 month is missing for 5 years) and which has no ranking from Alexa, confirms only that a marketing deadbeat has created it.

If someone is following the discussion at www.linkedin.com/nhome/updates?activity=6141811174888534016 he will see very fast which low level person Farukh Shah is and how much he likes to expose himself. It seems that this person has never visited a school and does not really understand something in the world. Maybe the missing intelligence has leaded him to a way how he likes to generate his data, which he likes to sell, by using criminal methods like malware. In any case even Google is listing all links to his site with the warning: "This site may harm your computer.".

Farukh Shah can even cannot come up with the excuse that his site got hacked, because Google sent an information email to the site owner as soon as they have found the malware distribution from his site. It seems that Farukh Shah thinks that he is even more intelligent than Google and has ignored the email with the information about the malware on his site. Only idiots are thinking that they are more intelligent than others.

If you like to visit this site you'll get the following warning:

The loudmouth Faruksh Shah, who likes to be a "Business Development Manager" seems even not knowing that everybody is responsible for his offers. Vasudev Bhat has registered with the email address vasu@itexhnologixindia.com ~92 domains and with the email address vasudevbbhat@rediffmail.com ~10 domains. Some of these domains are already expired.

Which value have data, which are getting collected by malware? I think not one business owner will use such data.

A scammer, which is even not able to show his real location at his LinkedIn profile and which likes to make us to believe that he is an experienced business man, likes that others are believing a LinkedIn posting, that he invested into a start-up call center and the call center has failed. The problem is only that he has been playing with a few of his own unsuccessful companies for making some money. The reality is looking a little bit different. The scammer Ayush Baruwal is thinking that he has invented is own money generating system by selling setups and leads for his own company. His victims have for this reason no chance for working with success. His victims are only getting used to pay the promotion for his own companies.

If Ayush Baruwal (.pdf) would have any experience in outsourcing then he would know that the offshore outsourcing industry is already dead, destroyed by scammers and from the greediness of the center owners, which resulted already years ago into changes of the privacy protection law. He would also know that there are enough experienced call centers available which don't have enough work.

A person with such an experience likes to make us to believe that he is living in Sunnyvale, California, has visited the University of Technology in Sydney and gets in reality found in Banglore, India. His own official statement: "well I will be back in philippines once my dad's surgery is complete ..."

Ayush Baruwal is calling himself to be "VP Global Operations" at "Bijaya Inc, eData Vendors / Genuine Auto Spares". At http://www.bijayainc.com we'll find the information "Bijaya Inc. was established in 2012 with the goal of exporting splendid hand made items from the Kingdom of Nepal.", the address

Corporate Address:
1159 Sonora Court,Suite 115, Sunnyvale, CA, 94086
Landline: +1.408.583.8085
Fax Line +1.408.498.1012
Email: info@bijayainc.com

And a nice drawing from the building which shall be the building of Bijaya Inc.:

If we search for the address "1159 Sonora Court,Suite 115, Sunnyvale, CA, 94086" at Google maps we'll see a complete other building in the 3D view. This building has only one floor. Maybe they have forgotten to build the second and third floor, which is shown in the drawing. It seems that all the staff of CYBERSYGNS NETWORK PRIVATE LIMITED has a problem with their memory. It looks as if they are all suffering from dementia.

You can go virtually around the building and you'll can verify it by yourself.

If you enter the address "1159 Sonora Court,Suite 115, Sunnyvale, CA, 94086" on a normal Google search you'll get 1,970 results. That shows us the presence of a mail forwarding service inside the building.

The same situation we'll find at one of his co-workers (or his second LinkedIn account) with the name Nirdesh Dixit (.pdf). He likes to be a Student at Angelia Ruskin University and likes to life in London, UK. Since October 2015 he likes to be a "Global Business Development Manager" at "Cybersygns network Limited" located at the Philippines:

The only problem in these provided information is that the "Student" has not forgotten to update his profile with the information that he got his "Master degree" 2014 and that he is a "Global Business Development Manager" at "Cybersygns network Limited" located at the Philippines, he has simple forgotten, that he is not a student anymore and what is more important that a company needs to get registered at the Philippines before it can get active. A company with the name "Cybersygns network Limited" is only registered in India. As Nirdesh Dixit is an foreigner at the Philippines he needs to have a work permit too, which he does not get for a company which is not registered at the Philippines. We all understand that students have something better in mind than to accept the regional law from the countries where they like to work. Such simple facts can get easily forgotten. I think that not only the immigration bureau likes to make an interview with him - the tax office will be very interested too.

Who will believe such notorious liars? Who likes to make some business with such liars? They are already cheating in their profile. Such people can never be trustful business partners. This kind of people can even pull down a real business with a good reputation.

Until now are the facts that CYBERSYGNS NETWORK PRIVATE LIMITED is registered as:

What an experience can a company have, which exists since 1 year and 2 months? Ayush Baruwal has no other registered companies in India. Only Rakesh Shendge Dwarkanath seems to have a little bit more experience because he is since March 2012 a director of a second company with the name NEWKLIUS SERVICES LLP:

By using Google we'll find an entry from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) about Genuine Auto Spares with the following address:

(408) 583-8085
1159 Sonora Court, Suite 115, Sunnyvale, CA 94086-2864
http://www.genuineautospares.com

The rating at the Better Business Bureau for Genuine Auto Spares is "D". The reason for this rating is that owner Ayush Baruwal failed to reply to a complaint filed against his business. Another complaint could only get solved by with the help from the Better Business Bureau.

The funny thing is that Bijaya Inc. likes to operate in California and is registered to a address in New Jersey. Registration data from the domain bijayainc.com:

Google returns 1,530 results for the address "620 Iris Ave, Apt # 316, Sunnyvale, CA 94086". I think it is a little bit too much for a standard apartment house built 1969 and has 173 units.

Summary: Ayush Baruwal is playing the role as client with his own company Genuine Auto Spares (see the information at the Better Business Bureau) and he is selling the setup, leads and campaigns as Cybersygns Network Private Limited (Director Ayush Baruwal). Do you really think that such a construction can be a trusted business and that Ayush Baruwal is a trustful business man? This case shows that even registered companies can be scammers.

I have only one proverb for Ayush Baruwal remaining: People who are sitting in glass houses should not throw stones.

As Mel Puleo is providing false information or a notorious liar, he will fail in each business. Not one street team, call center, distributor or salesman will be able to sell something by promising the blue from the sky and shipping trash. Someone, which is interested into solar systems will inform himself and know the prevailing prices. Call centers are only able to generate leads for selling a solar system and are not able to make a final contract for a solar system which has the double price as which is normally usable at the market. Not one will buy a system, which has a price of US$ 40,000 during a cold call. Already this fact shows that Mel Puleo is with his dreams far away from any reality.

At Alibaba Mel Puleo is offering with the title **** No More Electric bills 4 Ever! *** Distributors wanted ZERO OUT OF POCKET (.pdf) solar systems with a nominal capacity of 10 kWp, 20 kWp and 60 kWp at a price between US$ 40,000 and US$ 200,000.

The problem is only that the smallest solar system with a capacity of 10kWp needs the place for 40 collectors. Each collector needs the place of 1.65m² (13.93 yd²). In total is a place needed of 66m² (78.94 yd²). Such a system does not fit on all roofs, because not one module is allowed to get a shadow during the full day (for example from a chimney) and all solar modules need to be adjusted to the direction sun.

The offer found at Alibaba is highly overpriced. For example we can find at Anapode Solar (warehouses in California, Colorado, New York and Pennsylvania) a similar offer for a price between US$ 22,640 (Canadian Solar 260Wp Panels) and US$ 25,070 (Hundai 275Wp Panels) with all options included (without the off-grid option) and free shipping included.

His offer is even misleading, because all solar systems are nominated in kWp (kilo Watt peak) and not in KWH (kilo Watt per hour). The energy production is depending on the hours the sun is shining and their intensity. Anyway if it is only a type mismatch or not, the scam can get found in the sentence:

Our 10KWH Produces 87,600-KWH , Our 20-KWH produces 175,200KWH, AND our 60KWH commercial unit produces 525,000-KWH per year

It seems that the sun shines 24 hours a day for the stupid scammer C. Mel Puleo. Let's make a simple recalculation of his naive fallacy: 10 kilo Watt per hour * 24 hours a day * 365 days per year = 87,600. That is simple wrong and shows that the scammer does even not know something about the product he is offering. He even does not understand the difference between sun (solar) and moon (lunar)! For the case that he has been really got an education from an University like he has written in his LinkedIn profile, than this education has been from a very poor quality.

I have calculated for the best orientation (180° S and 40° slope) from a location in Kansas (37.44°N / 98°W) looking for me to be more or less in the middle of the U.S. - for the offered solar systems a result for 10 kWp a yearly total of 17,000 kWh, 20 kWp a yearly total of 34,000 kWp and for the 60 kWp system a yearly total energy production of around 102,000 kWp. Here are the results for the optimal orientation and optimal installation of the solar modules:

10kWp
20kWp
60kWp

It is possible to improve these values a little bit with auto adjusting of the orientation from the solar panels, but that will not bring a big improvement of the results. It seems that the scammer does not know that a solar system is less power producing during cloudy days.

I have used the data from meteoblue.com. You can get similar results by using the online calculator from the PVWatts Calculator from NREL. NREL is a national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, operated by the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC.

Summary: For his victims does it not make any difference if they are getting scammed from C. Mel Puleo's stupidity, incapability or by indent - the result is for them the same. My opinion is as Mel Puleo provides different information about himself, is scamming call centers and does not care about his own offers for end users that he is nothing else than a scammer and never a serious business man. For the case that he got scammed by himself than he guilty by himself too, for trusting someone and not verifying the provided information. In such a case he has failed against his commercial due diligence.

@C. Mel Puleo: An attorney and a law court cannot replace missing intelligence and intelligence is not commercially available. Don't go in the the sun if you have butter on your head.
