Beware of fraudsters
:roll: At least 5,000 persons were defrauded by a company named Seagull Softwares (Pvt) Limited which operated an office at Mt Lavinia in Sri Lanka to the tune of over US$ 1 Million. Their modus operendi was to offer handsome payment for simple data entry work. Each "slot" they called needed a Rs 6,000/- (approximately US$ 65.00) registration fee. In return they paid Rs 4,000.00 (US$ 40.00) per month as salary for the work done. The work consumed only about 10 - 12 minutes of time per day and it was only 22 - 23 days per month (Sat and Sun no work). People were encouraged to buy more slots on payment of US$ 65.00 per slot and some people bought as much as 300 slots and themnselves out sourced it to their family and friends. This scam went on for over 9 months. All of a sudden - on 23rd October 2006 - the two persons of Indian origin - disappeared! Their nanes are Dominic George alias Daniel George and Rajkumar Alias Rajshekar. Any news about such persons could be given to me to be passed on to the Sri Lanka Police who are investigating the matter.
