Hi Folks,

I am spending my time and writing this review only to save other guys who like me are unemployed or desperately looking for a part time or full time income. As like any other guy, even I had searched for reviews on Absolute Infowave on the net. As mentioned in the above comments, they never mentioned on call before booking the application form through SMS (even after I had asked multiple times), that is there any additional cost apart from Rs 500?

Even after going through the majority of these negative reviews, I believed the guys answering the helpline call, as I was unemployed for a long time. The guy who answered the call said as below

1) The reviews which are written might be by our competitors. We are in this business for 5 years and we have 7000 customers doing this job for us.

2) Why would we cheat? If we had cheated we could not have survived for this long.

3) The comments which are found on the web are not of registered e-mail with us.

4) There are so many unemployed people who work 14 to 15 hours every day to complete this work.

How can we come to know whether anything whatever he said above is true? - No way, unless you know have a personal friend or a contact who has experienced this. Check the 4th point above. It apparently suggests that they are taking advantage of the unemployed youth in India.

You just have one way out - that is to believe him (in case you are desperate to earn an income). Similarly, I thought to take a chance as it looked like a legitimate company - having website, e-mail address and staffs answering multiple calls promptly (initially). After receiving the kit, our deepest fears comes true. They have 4 different plans - Mini silver, Silver, Gold and Platinum. You'll have to buy any of these plans ranging from Rs 4000 to Rs 12000. Again when I asked the reason why this was not told before, they just told that it's for security reasons to ensure that you'd complete the work and give us within the said deadline. This statement feels like it's genuine reason and we fall for the trap.

The trap here is there is hell a lot of words to be typed. Each page has around 55 lines and each line has approx. 18 words. It comes to around 1000 words per page and you'll have to type 100 pages (per the mini silver plan) within 9 days. The minimum accuracy they mention is about 70% throughout the 100 pages (NOT for 1 page), which to me, is possible only if you are very much an expert professional in typing with 99.99% accuracy throughout all the pages. Just FYI - my typing speed before I took this assignment was 55 to 60 words per minute with 95 to 100% accuracy per page.

I had taken the Silver plan (paying Rs 4000 and required to complete 200 pages within 17 days). I spent around 10 to 12 hours every day and submitted this work on the due date. After waiting longer than the scheduled report delivery, I had to make so many calls, only then I got the report stating that I didn't receive the required accuracy - 70%. My accuracy percentage was 68%. All the mistakes which they reported were genuine. As per the Silver plan they give another chance for 3 days, however this time I'll have to get the accuracy of 90% overall throughout the 200 pages. It was very tough. I worked even longer hours and submitted my work on due date. This time too I fell short of the accuracy percentage of 90%. My mistakes were counted for 22%.

I agree that the mistakes that were reported were all genuine. However, I feel there is no work ethics. There is no professionalism at all. I had to literally make 100s of calls to follow up either for some inquiry on work, or for the report delivery. But, they would not even bother to call back after seeing the missed calls. If they genuinely want this work get done, they would have been a lot more professional and would want to help us in ways we can reduce the errors. I guess they also have a tool (though they deny having it) to check the accuracy. I very much doubt that the verification is done manually.

Hence, I would conclude that this is not a fraud company, however it would be a huge gamble of effort and money to invest in this. As I type here I received a call from another company with similar claims. So please be warned there are many such companies which are doing this in such a polished manner to trap the guys.
