Ashis threatens to remove this blog!

I called Ashis Avilash yesterday (27 Dec, 2011) once again asking about the status of the cheque and payment. Ashis threatened me to remove this blog and then he will make the payment.

So, what about the cheque deposited last week ? So, its all a lie !! He is a full time fraud. This blog is a warning sign to the centers who want to run the directtopeople.com process! Beware!

BPO fraud Ashis has provided another "fraud" date for payment ?

We made a phone call to Mr.V****, the representative of Ashis Avilash and asked him about the status of the payment and it looks like Ashis Avilash has given yet another date when he will send the payment to all the centers running the Directtopeople.com call center project.

The new date promised by the bpo fraud Ashis Avilash is Dec 26, 2011. Ashis has told Mr.V that his funding partner, Mr.Kartik will be providing the payment on behalf of Ashis Avilash only on Dec 26, 2011.

But, what about the date promised by Mr.Kartik to us, which is Dec 15, 2011 ? We have already started doubting if Kartik is another bpo fraud appointed by Ashis Avilash. We'll wait and see!

Ashis Avilash provided an invalid/fraud cheque number!

When I asked Ashis Avilash about the status of the cheque of Rs.20,000, he sent me an SMS with the below content on Dec 16, 2011 :

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Ch.no - 144526 sbi. deposited on icici cspur. branch drop box
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ashis has mentioned the cheque number in the above SMS and he has deposited it in the ICICI bank chandrasekarpur branch drop box at Bhubaneswar, Orissa.


He has provided an invalid cheque number and we still did not receive money from the bpo fraud Ashis Avilash.

Did I receive Rs.20,000 on December 7, 2011?

As per the promise made by Kartik & Ashis Avilash, I am supposed to receive Rs.20,000 on December 7, 2011; but I did not receive a single penny!

I called Ashis Avilash, and asked about the status of the payment and I got this reply:

"My partner Kartik asked me to deposit a Cheque because if I deposit money directly into the account, I wont have any proof of the payment"

Absolutely right! Who else can think better? than a fraud himself!

I told Ashis avilash that if he is so concerned about it, they should have dropped the cheque the previous day itself and I might receive the payment on said date!

He said he will send me the cheque number but he didn't send it on 7th Dec 2011 and I didn't receive the payment!

The follow-up for the payment:

I made a phone call to Ashis Avilash today(Dec 8, 2011) and asked him about the status of the payment(which has become my regular job). He then sent me the cheque number that was dropped in ICICI Bank drop box at Chandrasekarpur, Bhubaneswar, Orissa.

The status: I still haven't received the payment.

The official mail from Ashis & Kartik

As discussed in the last post, Ashis avilash & Kartik agreed to make a payment of Rs.3,60,000 on/before Jan 20, 2012. But, I asked them to make the payment in parts. So they agreed and sent the below email:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Direct To People info@directtopeople.com Dec 8 (8 days ago)
to me

Dear,
As per the telephonic conversation by yesterday we are agree to pay the 1st part payment i.e 20,000/- (twenty thousand only)  in between the 15th of this months and the balance amount of your payment will made on before of the jan 20th so pls. kindly erase the blogs.

thanking you.
Kartik sahoo.

This certainly is not Kartik's mail. This should have been sent by Ashis himself. How do I know? - Simple! Kartik's language didn't have grammar errors.

The fraud's callback!

On 7 December 2011, Ashis avilash initiated a conference call with his new partner named Kartik, who claimed as the funding partner for the directtopeople.com project. Kartik, who was on the conference call asked me about the issues happened. I explained him everything about what happened and how much Ashis avilash is liable to us.

Kartik, then said that he is the funding partner and this blog about bpo fraud ashis will spoil the reputation of Directtopeople.com and asked me to remove it and they promised to make the payment of Rs. 3,60,000(which is a part of the payment that Ashis is liable) on or before Jan 20 2012. I did not agree to this as Ashis was always promising something and has not kept the promise for the last 6 months. So, I asked them to make the payment in parts, and to start with they promised to make Rs.20,000 on 15 December 2011. (A person who is funding a huge project cannot pay more than Rs.20 K). I asked him to make some more as Rs.20 K is very less for what Ashis is liable. They also demanded me to remove this blog.

Kartik, said he has invested lakhs of rupees in the project and that the marketing of Direct to people is gonna start this December month end and the actual project is gonna kickstart during Jan 2012 mid. Cannot believe them btw, as there is no proof of anything that they speak.

I then asked Kartik to send a mail about the payment dates and the amount to have it as a proof from the official mail id of directtopeople.com.
