I own a starting BPO company in the Philippines trying to make a name and be known in the industry. I admit, as a beginner I am not 100% expert in finding out if a client is legit or a fraud perpetrator, but with my agents depending on me, I need to make sure that I get a client who will trust us to work on a campaign and pay us. Unfortunately, just not long ago, I had a client who duped me, Yes! I trusted and worked with Mr. Ray Alonso of Bargain Electricity Inc. for almost over a month, with the promise to get paid for every billable leads my agent would get.
At first, I did not have any doubt on how he is a man of his words, but after making more billable leads, he suddenly made excuses for not sending the funds. I trusted his reasons and gave him the benefit of the doubt, but weeks have passed, until weeks became almost a month, he just went missing in action. When I told him that I will be making a bad reviews about him--that was just to get his attention, I had no plans on doing it that time--then he get in touch with me and told me to contact a department that handles the billing for Bargain Electricity Inc. and he does not want to communicate with me anymore.
In light of the possibilities that I may be able to get the funds through that department, without any assurance, I emailed the department and followed the instructions for me to get paid. After sending everything; invoices, recordings, and information of the billable leads--which I already have provided to Mr. Ray Alonso, I still get no good outcome/response. Now, for almost a week trying to follow up for the payment with that department and not getting any updates, I feel the need of making this report to warm everyone about their unlawful activities. Please be aware of his name (Ray Alonso) and the company (Bargain Electricity Inc.). Thank you!
