This is latest complaint and the original people behind this.
This applies to all calls people are getting on behalf of corel draw in india (New delhi, bangalore, chennai, hyderabad, mumbai etc etc), i think you guys need to read this. I feel this has all answers which you are looking for..
This is a kind of a legal fraud which corel associated people are involved in.
After reading the complaints i am feeling ashamed how our indian brothers/sisters are behaving while working under a mnc. I got similar call stating that i am using pirated software and further sent me the same similar mail.
Myth: nobody can trace your system till the time you revert them on email, that is a marketing call gimmick which they are playing with you.
So the game is:
1. First of all: right now these people are genuine callers and can also take some action if you are using any pirated software but they are only associated dealers with corel draw, this team which is calling is paid by an india level distributor (Because since these long days they have also been working and updating themselves with all these complaints). These guys have made several bogus websites to acclaim that they are actually corel corporation.
2. The person behind this is ark infosolutions pvt. Ltd. (https://arkinfo.in/), a delhi based company (F-28, okhla industrial area, phase-1, new delhi south delhi dl 110020 in) actually initially i believe they were working in name of aditya promoters as per your blog. So they have changed their name because that is blowing their cover. A distributor is making calls on behalf of corel complaince? It is a big thing scaring people to grow sales.
3. Corel corporation is not even interested in resolving this because they are in canada, so for them india is a very small market. They might be hiring indians only for support of corel assistance.
Basically corel will also not help because assistance is done by indians. So you are lacking true information.
Corel corporation actual details "1600 carling avenue, ottawa, ontario, canada - k1z8r7".

6. So after threatening, if somebody buys a software from anywhere in india, ark infosolutions pvt ltd gets the margin.

Basically these guys are dealers and in multiple businesses, just want to sell all products in india.
7. Ok, now how do you receive such calls, these guys hire call center executives who go through all local business directories such as yellowpages, just dial, indiamart etc and try to find people who are related to designing industries. From there they get your numbers and make you calls bluntly assuming that you must be using corel draw. Now if you will say no, they will play 3 patti with you thinking of some advantage over it.
8. Corelindia.co.in is actually bought by ark infosolutions pvt ltd. This domain is not even owned by corel corporation. You can also buy one like on godaddy.
9. Nowdays these guys are claiming poa of corel draw. Funnily corel corporation doesn't have any physical address in india. That poa must be some kind of 10-12 page agreement between corel draw and ark infosolutions pvt. Ltd or trendsetters infoservices privatelimited. Corel draw can never give any actual poa to anybody because after having a poa any body can sell corel corporation company to anybody. So the poa these guys are talking must be a saver for them if you do an police complaint against them. So, by taking a cover under poa they are actually generating leads.
10. These guys are basically making you calls to start an official communication between you and them and so that they can drag you under some compliance but trying their tits bits.
Solution to all your problems:
1. Do not use corel draw, there are so many free alternates. It is worthless to talk to corel because i assume they are allowing this to happen.
2. Whenever you get such calls lodge an fir in nearest police station. Atleast file a nc in nearest police station in your city by finding their local addresses, so that it will help if harassment increases, it will make your fir stronger. Lodge an fir with the phone no, executive name and the company name.
3. These guys are skipping trai acts of making such marketing cum compliance calls. So you get one more reason to out in fir for harassment. If you want to go further get a lawyer.
4. Always use linux instead of windows so as you don't even buy windows original software as linux is completely free.
5. For designing always use gimp a free designing software or else there is online photoshop software and many more softwares which are available for free.
6. The best solution would be if we all go together and just land up at there office with our local police at there offices.
7. Always remember such guys always try to act smart, so be open and ready for legal activities. It is just a scare which we think.
"all above things which i have mentioned will only work if you do not use any pirated software."
