Offshore Outsourcing & Scammer

Blog about offshore outsourcing and scammer in the outsourcing industry

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.

 

Blackmailer: Krishna Varma - Hyderabad - iamkrishnavarma@gmail.com

Blackmail the hobby that paysKrishna Varma does not know that blackmailing is a crime in each country. It is a pity that he got scammed, but that does not give him the right to become himself a criminal and blackmail others which have nothing to do with his case. He tries even to blackmail people which like to help him. Such a person has never learned something or have visited any school and cannot be a trusted business partner. With other words Krishna Varma did everything wrong what he could do wrong. Instead of asking for help and helping by the investigation he tried to blackmail everybody, which he found. With his try to blackmail others he destroyed every possibility that someone can help him.

If someone enters into a business, which does not bring him the expected profit, then he has the possibility to cancel the contract as soon as he gets it that he does not make any profit or he makes some losses. Blackmailing is not a legal way to correct his own wrong decision.

Krishna Varma from Hyderabad, email: iamkrishnavarma@gmail.com, does not understand how the offshore outsourcing business is functioning. Now he tries to impress with big words, baseless threats and blackmailing legal working companies. He is guilty by himself that he got scammed. He simple did not do his homework by making a background check. The mentioned campaign is for centers free available because the broker gets paid from the client.

That is a pity that he got scammed, but he can only file a case against this one, whom he has paid or he has made a contract and not against someone else. If he has paid any upfront fee then this one, which has taken the money has no contract with the client and would have disappeared already. The campaign itself is available for call centers free of charge and does not require any payments. Brokers and customers from brokers are not getting entertained.

The client will not pay something for that what he is not guilty for the case that he got scammed by the man in the middle method. If Krishna Varma likes to lose more money in such a case, than he can file a court case at the local court of the client. The Supreme Court and the court in India are not responsible for the case he has a contract with an U.S. company. Such a threat shows that Krishna Varma anything from business law. It would be recommended that he consults a good local attorney before he attacks others for his own fails. A cheaper way would be to file a case at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC has for this purpose an Complaint Assistant, which can get found at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/.

It is in the US not illegal to hire offshore call centers for calling US customers. Would it be illegal then he liked to be a partner in crime of an illegal activity. He needs to provide victims and proves that called customers got cheated. That will be very difficult for an outsider.

Everybody, who made wrong investments, is guilty by himself. The business is hard and not a playground. Maybe Krishna Varma thinks that he is still playing in the sandpit. If Krishna Varma has made investments without having a valid contract with the client then he is guilty by himself because he did not prove the promises and trusted to the words of the scammer.

I got forwarded the following email with the comment from Robbie Middleton: “I have never seen this name Krishna Varma.”. As I only try to help by listing the scammers without any financial interest I have tried to get in contact with Krishna Varma and asked him to send me the email headers for finding out the scammers. He sent an answer how he felt betrayed, but he did not send one of the email headers, which makes it possible to find the man in the middle. That a man in the middle is exists is fact because he is not known from the client, but he can work.

Instead of delivering the necessary data he tried to attack me too with a baseless complaint where even not proves can get listed and tried to blackmail me too:

 
What is this What the fuck you are doing from peoples Please i have no time to argue with you ok Kindly  tell To robbie to refund my loss pr else i will make you also in the list By a screen shot of your mail

If someone is listing scammer and scams then you'll find revenges wherever some postings are not getting verified. As I'm not offering something or selling something on the Internet I'm not interested in such a case to take any action against such a posting - it would keep me only busy. If someone does not trust me for such a unproved posting than it his problem and not mine. I have not more and not less if someone belives me or not.

Maybe Krishna Varma has been on drugs or drunk as he has written the following email:

No more Discussions if you all want to survive cool with your business you have to pay my loss of 3 Lakh because systems are my own no need for that . or else your company will we seased and you all will be in prison . for this even i will spend more 5 Lakhs to do this all.

i am really frustrated with you all i just done for 4 months i have 5 lakhs loss if i do it for 1 year i have to die . if it comes i will die by writing your names and i will mention because of Robbie and Vance i am going to die . 

So clear this issue as soon as possible by this week or else the posts and posters will be going every were and every websites and linked in too... 

And VVT  this message is for the Indian guy you cant understand this tell him to read this 

Hello mr VVT naku ne peru telusu ne vuru telusu me babu garu cheyse pani telusu mariyadhaga nuvu indhulo nunchi thapuko ledu ante ne medha kuda kalipe vestha case motham 24 companies ready ga unnai case veyatanike aa robbie and vance gadi valla naku ochinna nastam 5 lakhs and VOIP baga yekuvga vesthunadu unlimited voip na dagara monthly 500$ ke chesthunna kotha campaigns anni . kani TMS vadu 1350$ for one month ante yearly 1 crore aaa motham motham baitake lagutha nenu yevaro telusukovali anni undhi kada na peru Krishna Varma . na status and na background chupistha . manchiga job cheskuntuunav and freelance lo manchi rating undhi andhuloni ma vurru dagara nundi ochi HYD lo yedo cheskuntunav  chesko kani VVT nunchi thapuko . na dagara proofs tho ready ga unna thatukoleyv direct ga ralengi vellipothav thamudu .

Conclusion For this all issues Pay my loss or else Make profits to the centers from now on wards. change your attitude and Way of your Commissions . 

Krishna Varma needs to understand first that he is guilty for his losses by himself. Nobody is pressured into working on this campaign. There are other campaigns without any up-front fees available too. The demand determines the supply. That means if nobody likes to take a campaign then the payment will rise and if many centers like to get this campaign than the payment will come down.

We can compare this case with the following email:

Hello Good day and How are you?
Firstly, I apologize for sending you this sensitive information via E-mail.

The email looks like someone is searching a business partner, but this is only done at the first view. If we take a look at the email headers then we see the source of the email (I have made the source ip bold):

If we take now a look at the location of the ip 41.220.68.246 we will find out that the email got sent from:

Does anybody think that this location is a trusted source?

Does anyone think that Lloyds Banking Group will refund the losses which you'll make with this scam?

If you are not making any background check in such a case and you'll make business in such a case you'll be guilty by yourself for your losses. If you even don't help any investigation in such a case than you are even stupid and have no chance to get anything back.

Apple kicks anti-virus apps from the app store

The reason given for sacking from the App Store called the producers is that users may believe that there are viruses on iOS.

Apple has removed over the past few days, several anti-virus apps from the App Store. Among them was VirusBarrier for iOS by the manufacturer Intego. The app was located since 2011 in the App Store.

Once the app has been removed, Jeff Erwin, the CEO from Intego, has asked Apple for their reasons. According to Apple, the description of his app was misleading, since users might think there would be viruses on iOS. After he had changed the description of the app to make it clear that the app scans emails and downloads, Erwin has taken the case to the executive suite of Apple - without success.

Apple has not only thrown VirusBarrier, several apps and also the corresponding category from the App Store. Some apps are still online, such as Avira Mobile Security, Lookout Antivirus & Security and McAfee Security. These apps are free, VirusBarrier cost $ 0.99. What criteria exactly Apple classifies an antivirus app misleading, is not known.

Apple has been always arrogant. Arrogance comes sooner or later to a fall off.

Apple with Worm 

Thank god, we don't need that crap on iOS or on Macs. Plain and simple, you don't need antivirus on Apple platforms. Period. I've used Macs since 1990 and not once have I ever conceived of the notion of installing antivirus on my Macs.

You are doing yourself and all Mac users here a disservice by saying stuff like this. It is widely known in the industry, especially with companies like Sophos and Kaspersky, that there are definitely Mac viruses in the wild that can infect Mac computers that do not have antivirus installed.

Just because you have a Mac does NOT mean you are immune to viruses. It is a very dangerous misconception that you are 100% protected because you use a Mac.
