Offshore Outsourcing & Scammer

Blog about offshore outsourcing and scammer in the outsourcing industry

Scammer: ippi.com - WORLDLINE COMMUNICATION - Stéphane Haddad

ippi.com likes to be a SIP provider. He is offering flat rates, which includes Austria mobile (Unlimited Elite - to 150 landlines & mobiles destinations). After a few days and 21 calls, totaling 1 hour 29 minutes and 3 seconds, later Austria mobile destinations have not been reachable already - SIP response: "Forbidden".

At first glance, the offer looks quite convincing. Austria landline is normally offered for less than € 0.01 and mobile for less than € 0.02 per minute. So it is possible to combine them into a flat rate.

By taking a look into the list, we'll find Austria included in the package for unlimited calls:

The "unlimited" offer is not really unlimited. Already for this reason is it nothing else than a scam. In a small footnote you can read:

* calls to 99 different numbers per month in the limit of 60 minutes per call

A limit of 60 minutes per call is understandable. At the time I got blocked to call any Austria Mobile phone number I had made in sum only 21 calls, totaling nearly 90 minutes. So I did not reach one of the limits, but it shows that the offer is a plain scam by calling it "unlimited calls to 150 landlines and mobiles destinations" in the caption.

The first tests have already shown, that ippi.com don't have any customers. That seems to be already very strange for a domain, which exists since more than 22 years. Anyway the systems thinks to know it better, which number got dialed then the one who has been dialing the number. Instead of dialing the phone number +43-670-800 .... the system shows the number +43-436-0800 ....

This error has been in the whole system. Even the call forwarding has not been working for the same reason and the unconditional call forwarding has not been really unconditional, because you could only enter a minimum delay of 5 seconds. The call was also signaled for 5 seconds on the connected SIP phone before it was forwarded to the wrong telephone number.

The problem got confirmed and solved from the support of ippi.com, but it got also shown, that their service is running in a pre-alpha version and nobody has tested their systems before. This got confirmed by an email from the support of ippi.com (.pdf (739.19 kb)):

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. Actually, the call forward is working but the library creating the format to be displayed on the website has been updated yesterday and had a little bug. We had corrected it. You should now se the correct value.

Do not hesitate to come back to us for any further question.

After this problem got solved, the next screenshot shows that the call forwarding to Austria mobile is with a price of € 0.29 per minute at least 10 times higher than from other provider and at least 3 times more expensive than the most expensive Austrian telecom company. Stéphane Haddad shows with such a pricing only that he is a profiteer who likes to get rich quick.

This guy even offers SIP Trunks, but does not know the difference between a SIP Trunk and a SIP User connection by himself. The above problems are already showing that at ippi.com are only working some technical deadbeats. If you sign up with them, then you need to debug their systems first. The problem is only that you'll not have enough possibilities for debugging, because your calls will get blocked as soon you reach in total around 90 minutes. In my case it have been only 21 outgoing calls:

By trying to call any T-Mobile phone number from Austria, I'm getting the following response:

-- Called SIP/436764582456@sip.ippi.com
WARNING[7548][C-000000f1]: chan_sip.c:24003 handle_response_invite: Received response: "Forbidden" from '"Rudolf Faix" <sip:Helmut01127@sip.ippi.com>;tag=as73388ab6'
== Everyone is busy/congested at this time (1:0/0/1)

That the unlimited calling offer is only a scam offer gets confirmed in the following email (.pdf (427.26 kb)) from the support of ippi.com, which I have received 3 days after the calls to Austria T-Mobile got blocked:

Hi,

We have security limit. We are analysing what kind of numbers you are calling, and will get an answer this Monday, if we can continue the unlimited calls to that destination code.

Kind regards,

Support ippi.com

The guy needs already more than 3 days to analyze the numbers from T-Mobile Austria. It have been in sum only 21 calls to Austria landline (11 calls) and Austria mobile (10 calls). With other words is the "security limit" nothing else than a preliminary justification for making the scammer Stéphane Haddad quick rich.

Stéphane Haddad cannot be a serious business man, because a serious business man would calculate his offer before he will publish it and not changing the conditions of an offer after he has got the payment. Changes in the conditions of any contract need to get done before making some business and not afterwards.

Stéphane Haddad seems to be also stupid as we will see in the following email (.pdf (802.91 kb)):

Hi,

We don't understand what you means by "don't respect SIP standard". For the called ID (RPID), we just authorized your account to choose it freely. We need more information about what kind of use you are doing.

Because you are unhappy with the service, we will cancel your subscription at the end of the month.

Kind regards,

Support ippi.com

With the sentence "We need more information about what kind of use you are doing." is Stéphane Haddad confirming only that he does not know for what an account is getting used. The answer is very simple: Making phone calls. In the case of ippi.com could even not get the debugging of their systems done before moving the lines into production.

Stéphane Haddad confirms also that he likes to maximize his earnings as he likes to keep up the useless account until the end of the month. In any case the scammer will have some problems with the authorities.

SPRL Portalinks - voiptraffic.net - from Belgium a scammer who likes to be a VoIP provider

This provider seems to be a living room provider, who likes to get rich quickly. At the site from voiptraffic.net, you'll find the information

We offer our service to all VoIP market members: Wholesale VoIP Termination business, small VoIP service providers, callshops etc.

Additional you'll find at his FAQ page the information:

What is the minimum top-up amount required?
We require a minimum Payment of 100 EUR or 150 USD depending on currency of the account. No monthly payment required.

If you sign up with this idiot and make 2 concurrent calls to the same number your account already gets blocked. This guy seems to have a bandwidth problem too, because he likes to change all the traffic to codecs G.723 or G.729, where additional license fees need to get paid for it. In any way a fax transfer is only possible by using the codec G.711. Don't sign up with such a deadbeat. You'll even would not be able to test one of your DID own numbers from another provider.

This pseudo provider does not care about the European law of telecommunication secrecy. He is confirming breaking the law by himself, inside an e-mail to the account owner: "We have called that number and it does not seem like adverting number but something absolutely different.":

Email from SPRL Portalinks where he confirms not taking care of the law

It seems that this pseudo provider likes to collect phone numbers, which he is able to sell to other call centers. This would bring them some additional earnings and would explain why you are not allowed to call many times the same number.

The guy is even too stupid to recognize, that the name of his customer is Rauchecker and the company from Mr. Rauchecker is my customer. So he has sent the email to his customers email address with addressing my name in the content. Our common customer has forwarded the email to me.

I call this guy to be a scammer, because he did not send back the remaining balance from the account until now. As he is breaking the law even by calling the numbers you have dialed, he cannot be any trustful business man. This stupid guy likes to take over the control whom you are calling. He even did not recognize that the reality in the world is different to his dreams. The idiot likes to empower himself over his customers. In such a case he will end up like a lot other VoIP providers until now - at the VoIP graveyard.

If you are following up this article until the end, you'll see by taking a look at the building that he even does not lie by writing "Best regards from sofa in the living room" (I have called him to be a VoIP living room provider before), because it is not possible to test with the service from this provider your own DID numbers. You'll get blocked as you are making 2 concurrent calls to the same phone number. How he has tested his own service? How he could have ever tested if has lost calls or not without comparing call detail records (cdr) from an outgoing system with the cdr of an incoming system? Is he really such a technical deadbeat?

Here an example from his email how he is blocking on a prepaid account:

Dear Valued Customer,

Some suspicious traffic (loop or multiple call attempts to a number pool) has been detected from the account(s) helmut.
Your account has been blocked automatically in order to prevent any possible fraud or billing discrepancies.
Please check this from your side, provide us with the details of this issue and let us know if we may unblock your account.

Here are the details:
suspicious calls to:
16136992231 (2) Canada
16136992241 (3) Canada
--
With Best Regards,
Customer Service

As he did not return the remaining balance until now, I have tried yesterday his service again. The result you see in the email above. From € 100,- on a prepaid account my customer could make only calls for less than € 3,57. During this time he got 2 times blocked. For me it seems that this scammer has used the money for himself and cannot pay his upstream provider. For this purpose he is searching for some reasons to block his customers in the hope that he can catch a stupid one, who pays into his system at least € 100,-.

By taking a look at the Belgium business register (SPRL PORTALINKS company register.pdf (291.12 kb)), we'll find the managers from this company: Jersova, Inese and Jersova, Kristina with source from Latvia. Also their "sales manager", Viesturs Lapins, has his source in Latvia. A rogue who thinks evil. The address Doornstraat 29, 1700 DILBEEK is an additional address from SPRL Portalinks, but their main address is Boulevard Louis Mettewie 95/7, 1080 Molenbeek-Saint-Jean.

A verification of their VAT number says that the number is valid:

In any way, a registered company will not give you any security. A company can run into bankruptcy, the manager can disappear over night and you are not able to reach in the pockets of a naked one.

 

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.

I think at this time the scammer Gaurav Sharma - Kshitij Tripathi tried even to use other or similar sounding company names for blurring their own tracks.

LinkedIn previous profile picture from Kshitij TripathiThe scammer Kshitij Tripathi has been thinking that he can win something by attacking me for a sentence in the article Fake News from India: Email Was Invented By A 14 Year Old Indian Boy 32 Years Ago... where I had written "Everybody seems to know already that India is not really a trustful country ...". He as proofed only that he even don't understand English and is not able to differ between a fact, an opinion and a speculation.

Such a deadbeat likes to make us to believe in his LinkedIn profile that he is COO at Apostle BPO Out Sourcing & Info Solution Services - a not existing company and that he is living at Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. Already the fact that he writes at his linked in profile hat he is living in South Carolina shows how he is neglecting his Indian source. The love to his nationality is only available when he can start some quarrels. For doing business seems it to be better to neglect his real location. Doing that is called acting in a double standard or rotating like a flag in the wind. Such people are never some trustful business partners and a disgrace to their country.

LinkedIn profile of Kshitij Tripathi

Facebook profile of Kshitij Tripathi aka Lucky TripathiBy comparing the LinkedIn profile from Kshitij Tripathi with his Facebook profile we find out that Kshitij Tripathi is not only a scammer, he is a big liar too.

The provided company name from Lucky Tripathi at his Facebook profile, Apostle IT Solutions Pvt Ltd., is only a reserved and not an active company name at the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Even here he is using a company name, which does not really exist.

Kshitij Tripathi seems even not to know where he is really living. At LinkedIn he provides that he is living in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, at Facebook he provides the that he is living in New Delhi, India with source from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh and at his domain registration he provides as an address 119/371 darshanpurwa, gumti no-5 kanpur, Uttar Pradesh 208012. His domain apostotlebpo.in got created June 29, 2015, less than a year ago.

At LinkedIn he provides the information that he has his education from the Michigan State University and at Facebook he provides the information about Sir Padampat Singhania Education Centre (SPSEC), Kanpur and CSJM University. Liars normally need to have a memory like an elephant. I think that the scammer Kshitij Tripathi has only a memory from the size of a greenfly.

By taking a look at the complaint from joe johnson from June 12, 2016 found at http://www.callcentersforum.com/showthread.php?tid=34776&pid=73276 we find a Skype stuttering which makes me thinking that Kshitij Tripathi has not any graduation or that he has ever visited any school:

Which low-level people are scamming get's shown in the Skype conversation at the LinkedIn Pulse posting from Jessica Narcovich found at https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/scammer-alertapostle-bpo-services-jessica-narcovich, published on April 7, 2016:

Scammer Alert(Apostle BPO Services)

I am putting up this scammer alert out so that other companies like mine do not get taken advantage of again. I know as of yesterday my company is not the only one that has been taken advantage of by Apostle BPO Services(Guarav Sharma and KT Robby) . It was brought to my attention yesterday by one of the CEO's of the other companies defrauded that they are selling the same leads to multiple companies on a daily basis . They are expecting payment on leads that have been run by numerous companies all on the same days. They sent through 200 leads and only 12 of those were paid to my company by our Solar contract. I paid Apostle BPO Services all that I was paid on and have proof of all of it. They noticed the duplicate leads from 3 of the companies they purchased leads from. This is causing customers to send all reps away. Leaving not one company with a sale. It is causing the lead companies to lose there contracts and trust within the Solar Industry . That is what happened to the two other companies that dealt with Apostle BPO Services and has put my contracts in jeopardy due to there fraudulent dealings. When they are done demanding payment for leads that did not even get in the customers door due to the negligence they threaten you first and then threaten your company. They have done things to the other companies by posting things on Linkedin that is extremely hurtful to there personal and business relations and reputation. There really is no way to know exactly which companies are fraudulent but we as company owners can help the next person not to get taken by these type of people. So please be aware of this company. I just want everyone to know just what type of people they are. I am going to put up the messages that they have sent to me on Skype it is absolutely disgusting:

Scammer: Nisha choubey declares himself and the Mantra Group to be a scammer

With the comment "Lars Christiansen sir we are official consultant so we do charge consultancy fee...so kindly do your work and let me do my work...." declared the scammer Nisha Choubey, that he/she even don't understand anything from consultancy or any other business. The comment can get translated to "... we are a official scammer and for this we don't have any other income then fee paid by our victims our invention ...".

You can be sure that the LinkedIn profile of Nisha Choubey is a fake like the profile picture shown above. It is typical for scammers that they are not able to show their own face and use their real name. If you make a Google picture search from the scammers profile picture you'll get 7,940 results. One of these search results brings you to the page of Cute Japanese Girls images. Does anybody believe that a Japanese girl has relocated to India? So why shall be the LinkedIn profile from Nisha Choubey contain any true information? The only true information in the profile is that the profile has it's source in India because the link to the profile has the country code from India included: https://in.linkedin.com/in/nisha-choubey-584b04112.

A Google search of the provided phone number returns the first usage in advertising from December 2015. Voicetrading, an European VoIP provider, lists the phone number +91-7573037289 as India Mobile Vodafone Jammu and Kashmir. The phone number gets used in olx.in, jobz.in, ahmedabad.locanto.in and in.tixuz.com for advertising for the area of Ahmedabad. Why should a company or a group of company use a prepaid mobile phone number from an area which is around 1,200 km away?

Further gets only a free email address from gmail and a Skype contact provided. Does anyone believe that a real company likes to destroy their own reputation by not providing any real and verifiable information about themselves? Does anyone think that any company from Australia, Europe or U.S. will hire such a kind of company, which provides nothing else than fake offers like the following one from LinkedIn:

Start your own Center....!!!
USA TECH SUPPORT INBOUND CAMPAIGN
Fixed Payout:- 8$/hour/agent
Working Days:- 5 Days
Direct sign up with end client.
Reference Center provided.
Consultancy:- Applicable
Note:- ITS NOT A JOB OPENING.
+91-7573037289 For more:-nisha.mantragroup@gmail.com Skype:- nisha.choubey29

The scam from the above offer gets already found in the sentence "Consultancy:- Applicable". An outsourcing client, which cannot pay their hired consultants will not be able to pay their other staff too. For this reason already will not one company from the traditional outsourcing countries hire such a scammer ("consultant"). The reputation of the outsourcing company will get ruined by hiring any consultant from abroad - especially from a low wage country.

The whole advertisement above is showing that the scammer see no chance to earns something from center owners with experience and is searching for this reason for newcomers without any experience. This fact is only an additional warning signal. If there would be some possibility to earn something than the scammer will do the job by himself or creating fast a center and hire some call center agents like he has done it by the advertising at olx.in with the advertisement "Required Telecaller in Matra group of Comapny".

If you take a look at the, I think invented, profile from Nisha Choubey at LinkedIn (.pdf), then you can get it by yourself that Nisha Choubey is never a HR (Human Resource) manager, because he make the big mistakes in his profile which are showing that he has been even too stupid for cleaning the floors at some companies during the time he has been working at Absotherm Facility Management or Satva Healthcare. The profile has exact the failures at which real human resource managers are looking at.

Such fake profiles where you even don't know if your communication partner is a female or a male are mostly found from India. Scammers need to hide their identity as much as possible. For this reason they cannot provide any real information about themselves. Scammers are even too lazy to use their own brain. I think we have here the same scammer like I have reported already at Scammer: BlessMantra Infotech Pvt. Ltd. - mantragroups.co - Ambuj Mehta.

All these, which are not doing some action against such scammers, are tolerating their sham business and are not better than the scammer itself. For the case that some real business exists in India these business people let throw their own reputation down from the scammer. It is a pity for them, but they are guilty by themselves.
