The scammer Svend Kleh (Svend K.) seems to be a failed existence. His only income seems to be coming from scamming call centers. If the information at his LinkedIn profile (no public profile, found at https://www.linkedin.com/in/svend-k-46656527 [.pdf]) are true, than he is an Expat living at the Philippines. His girlfriends seems to be so expensive or he so stupid that he needs to scam call centers. He is using the people, let them work for him and don't pay them. Such people are in my opinion the scum of the earth.
The LinkedIn user Pazifik LINK BPO has already published on June 3, 2015 at LinkedIn Pulse the article Svend Kleh SCAMMER?. This should be already a warning from the fraudster and scammer Svend Kleh.
A partner in crime from Svend Kleh seems to be Mahtab Afgan [LION] from Pakistan, because Svend Kleh has written at September 22, 2013 a recommendation for Mahtab Afgan [Lion], which got accepted and commented with "Svend K. was with another company when he / she has worked with Mahtab Afgan [LION] at Wahab Communications".
Another partner in crime from Svend Kleh seems to be Vishal Nanchahal (Canada? - at least is Canada written at his profile) for the same reason as above. Svend Kleh has written at July 11, 2013 a recommendation for Vishal Nanchahal which got accepted and commented with "Svend K. was Vishal Nanchahal at BreezeMaxWeb (CA) Ltd. directly subordinated".
Funny is that a lot of people have confirmed the knowledge at LinkedIn from the scammer Svend Kleh. That shows which value the confirmed knowledge at LinkedIn has and the stupidity of the LinkedIn users.
It seems that Svend Kleh likes to make scam to a religion. He calls himself at his LinkedIn profile [.pdf] to be since November 2007 the owner of the religious institution with the name "CrossWorld", which declares themselves on their LinkedIn Page as "A cross-cultural organization that specializes in spiritual, economic and educational development in countries around the world. Our dream is this: Disciple-makers from all professions bringing God's love to life in the world's least-reached marketplaces". Such an religious organization needs to protect her privacy by using a privacy protection service for their domain name otherwise everybody would know where the can find the scammers!
At https://crossworld.org/about/ is written:
Biblically superior? The religious elite? That’s not us. We simply live and love like Jesus and help others to do the same. It could be over coffee or a friendly game of soccer. It could be while swinging hammers or discussing an invoice. Wherever our lives happen, we love people and share God’s transforming truth. What about you?
I see that the members of CrossWorld cannot be religous if their "owner" and cantor, Svend Kleh, does even not know the 10 commandments from Jesus. One of them is: "You should not steal!" and another one is: "You should not lie!".
Additional provides Svend Kleh at his LinkedIn profile [.pdf] the information that he is since the year 2011 director of the company Omi Inc., a company which is describing their main business at their website, which looks like it was created from an amateur, as "Geotechnical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Construction Materials Testing". Wow, scammers can get the position of a director. Maybe they are selling the test results and making their expertise depending on the payments of their victims. This behavior would fit to a scammer like Svend Kleh. This seems to be the reason why Omi Inc. needs to hide their domain ownership behind a privacy protection service.
In any case it seems that the ownership of the religious institution CrossWorld and the job as director at Omi Inc. needs not really the workforce from the scammer Svend Kleh and does not give him enough earnings for financing his life as he has it additional necessary to scam call centers.
A Google picture search using the picture in the upper right corner returns additional the results from http://www.hitutor.com.tw/teachers-germany-svend.php and http://www.hitutor.com.tw/teachers-4.php. There we find out that Svend Kleh is originally from Frankfurt/Main located in Germany/Europe. German is my mother tongue too, for this I'm able to understand the German written part from both sites. There he is bragging about his previous experience:
- Crossworld Marketing (CEO) 行銷部門執行長
- Mabuhay Reisen (CEO) 執行長
- Certified Translator German’english 執照翻譯師 (英德互譯)
Additional is written in the German part of the site that he is a lot traveling between Canada and the Philippines. At the same time he is offering German language training for Taiwanese people.
A Google picture search of the following picture from the scammer Svend Kleh brings even a nice result about his education from the site stayfriends.de there is written that he has visited the following schools:
1962 - 1966: Karmeliterschule, Frankfurt am Main
1966 - 1972: Carl-Schurz-Schule, Frankfurt am Main
1972 - 1975: Paul-Ehrlich-Schule, Frankfurt am Main
The Karmeliterschule is a primary school. There the children are not expecting some problems by learning. The Carl-Schulz-Schule is a high school where normally only the best ones are finishing their education. The education at a high school takes a duration of 8 years. Svend Kleh left this school already after 6 years. Normally you have the possibility for repeating one class during the first 4 years and during the second 4 years. At least exists in Austria such a rule. The minimum education takes normally 9 years - for years primary school (Karmeliterschule), 4 years secondary school (Paul-Ehrlich-Schule or Carl-Schulz-Schule) and one year Polytechnic course. If a pupil need to repeat one class and has done in sum 9 years in school already than he does not need to visit the Polytechnic course, but he has to have positive marks in from the education of the 4th class. In the above data we see that the scammer Svend Kleh needed instead of the normal 4 years of the first part of the high school (Carl-Schulz-Schule) already 5 years and even did not reach the goal to have positive marks from the 4th class. For this reason he changed from the high school to the secondary school. Where he had to have to learn two more years.
To get a certification as a translator you need a graduation from a high school. You can visit the school as an adult too for learning for getting a graduation. So I cannot say if Svend Kleh has a graduation or not. As the most pupils from the German speaking area of Europe are failing in high school for the reason of learning the old roman language Latin. I'm not thinking that he is a certified translator for English and German.
The case reported from Pazific LINK BPO is not the only one case where Svend Kleh get called to be a scammer. At CampaignProvider gets a profile from the scammer Svend Kleh found too. One entry showing his scam is from May 22, 2013:

This story shows how important it is to make a background check before making business with someone over the Internet. The above alarm signals are already enough for not making business or making business only on a prepaid base with Svend Kleh. Hermant Singh did not make any background check and even not a Google search. For this reason he got scammed from Svend Kleh. He has sent me the following email:

Hi Rudolf,
Attached is a copy of the feedback sheet & some recordings that Svend
shared with us clearly accepting all the leads based on listening to the
initial recordings. Hence, there was nothing wrong in particular with any
of the recordings & they all met the earlier stated parameters. I can share the email trails from him for each lead clearly stating the same.
I would also like to inform you that Svend hasnt paid us a single dime as
yet & hasnt been responding to any of our messages via phone or skype.
We are over $1000 into this project & havent got paid for a single leads as yet.
Also its been well over 2 months since this has been going on.
I could also share the skype chat transcripts if that helps.
We only wish to stop this mayhem from him so that other centers do not fall for his scams & help create a better environment for both clients & contact centers.

I will accept this because of two reasons:
1.) the Agent is a very good listener and listens to what the customer said
2.) The Agent lightens the talk up with some private info and small jokes
But now comes the critic:
- his English slang needs immediate improvement
- he must stick to the script religiously
- he must first clear with a customer if the customer is willing to meet, before he starts re-confirming the details
- he has to put in IMPORTANT info in the remarks field. In this case that the husband is very sick and that she is daily in the hospital and that she only has time Sunday very early morning

We see in the above emails that the leads got accepted from the scammer Svend Kleh. You can be sure that the scammer got paid for the leads and simple maximized his earnings for his expensive lifestyle by simple not paying the center.
