This is a scam being run from Pakistan and they usually contact Asians.
Here is how they operate-
They will call you saying that they can pay your bill (Utility/Credit Card/Phone Bill)and all you have to do is deposit
half the amount in the account details they provide in Money Order/Certified Check/or Cash
after you have verified that your bill is paid.THIS IS BIGGEST RED FLAG.PLEASE DONT FALL FOR THESE GUYS.
If you ask them how can they paying the bill for half the amount they would say the companies give them gift-card for
signing up customers etc which does not have any value so they pay the bill using gift card and get the cash.
What they actually do is they pay the bill using stolen credit card /or friends credit card.After few days they dispute the charge.
Now the credit card company reverses the payment they made and you are out of your money.You cannot recoup the money
cause you paid through certified funds/cash.DONT YOU THINK WHOLE COUNTRY WOULD BE USING THEIR SERVICES IF THEY
WERE LEGIT.
They can even say they can do mortgage payment /Tax bill any thing.I have lost 1000$ Please do not fall for these guys.
These are the same guys who were running www.discountzoneca.com.
In their website they are saying they are running operation since 2010 .How come their website is so new???
They use Indian names to make it more convincing.The CEO James John does not exist.ITS a FRAUD.

This company is telling people that they will pay your bill and all you have to do is pay half of it back to them with a cashier’s check. Once you make the payment, they report the payment as a fraud to their bank, have the funds reversed and they keep the money they paid as well as the cashier’s check.

I work for a property management company. We manage the entire property and were notified by our broker that someone called him notifying him that he was being harassed for information. The broker contacted me because the address used on the website is on my property which is a vacant suite right now.
