Appoets Appdupe Charging money without delivering. Obtaining by false pretence. Extorting while holding software ransom. Ransomware Chennai Tamil Nadu, India
I have worked in the capacity of Chief Solutions Architect for a client, who unfortunately have been dealing with appoets.com and appdupe.com - and this supplier here - have gone pretty far in delivering the entire job - I would say - something which appears to me as a professional, as being some 98% or so.
The problem is, that even though the vast majority has been delivered, then the system is failing with a critical error in a very sensitive part of the system - namely calculating the distance.
The company appoets.com have themselves created a fake review by a non-existent person, John M., on this site, sitejabber.com purporting to be a success-story where this John M., is praising appoets.com and appdupe.com for a splendid job done, while that job was never delivered to completion.
Therefore, the Danish company who has posted thousands of USD into appoets.com and appdupe.com, can still not operate, even though the changes needed are very few.
The appoets.com originally promised the Danish company a full solution, which is working well, and which can handle clients. However, when it came towards completion, they slowed down, and now they have got into a grinding halt of service, where they simply do not deliver, they do not communicate, and the Danish company is stuck with very few options - and the Danish company's drivers are waiting for them to get started, and cannot understand what is happening.
To me, as I have worked with such scam artists before, I had a conversation with the CTO of appoets.com, someone called Sanjay or similar - a very fluently English spoken person, who made it clear that "such an app cannot be bought for less than USD 50,000" - and he asked me as an expert to confirm that on the Skype call - which I of course could not confirm; Many softwares cost maybe USD 50,000 to develop, yes that is true - but then the company sells it for maybe USD 5,000 - because when the company have sold ie. 20 copies, then they have earned USD 100,000 leaving them with a net profit of USD 50,000.
When a corporate enters into an agreement, one must expect that they have thought carefully about it, and that they have entered the agreement with the aim of fulfilling their side of it.
It is all in all very strange behaviour. I have seen similar before, and I am thinking that this is apparently a behaviour which is linked to the region of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh - where this behaviour seem to be rampant.
That is: They wait until they are almost ready - then they stall on a little - but critical - component - and ask money as they keep the product ransom.
So, appoets.com, appdupe.com, Mr. Ramkumar, Mr. Sanjay and all their people - they are apparently not professionals. It now appears that when confronting them, they say that it is all hearsay?
