I have been thinking about that something is wrong, when I have seen so many outsourcing offers from India. Now I got it confirmed. A few friends from India have confirmed this information. It seems that this is the reason why I have found real outsourcing companies without any
upfront only in
Spain, UK and US .

Hi Rudolf
Hope this finds you well.
Very impressed with your work against spammers.We face this issue daily in our contact center here in India. These guys come up to us offering campaigns.
In fact we have had many friends who have paid these guys money before getting these imaginary projects on board and lost a load of money.There are companies up in the North of India who run big organisations which only do this.They have 100-200 agents just spamming and trying to collect upfront money and a lot of guys end up paying.
We should take a stand against this and come up with a clean platform where honest centers are able to pick up some good work.
Regards[I have only removed the name and the city for protecting my informer]
If you followed the other posts abut brokers and scammer, then you know already that each upfront is SCAM and the scammer are coming mostly from low wage countries. In this case you should be very careful by taking a business partner, which hides himself behind pictures of celebrities, symbols, animals etc. As long as you are not able to make a background check of your new business partner you shall not make business with him. The risk for getting scammed in this case is 99.99%.
Don't forget: Everything, which seems to be too good to be true is not true - it is only SCAM!!!
A comment from another person, living in India:
I Think, Rudolf Now a days it is almost a Universal Problem .In India also it is working & growing. Trained cheaters are enjoying by cheating others ,For some it is their Bread & Butter, some have base of this act in their Blood & DNA .Thief/cheaters work is successful only, till the owner is not aware or is in sleep .This Problem may grow, People are finding short cuts, boss style work. Due to low salaries, Unemployment, very high expectations,Media, Political leaders & Parties, So many things are contributing for this social evil . Wishers of Society welfare are always present in society by God grace. I wish/I want to see their success in all the Way.
