We have been approached by Vicky Malhotra/ Md. Irfan I. Shivani, who was running the processes outsourced by Mr. Abraham Lincoln, for the US Inbound E-commerce process whose owner is Mr. Abraham Lincoln, ways2save Consultancy Pvt. Limited in India and Fundraising Innovations in UK and who is running the same process in Kolkatta and Chennai with different centers, in the month of November 2014. We had the conference call with Mr. Abraham Lincoln, with Vicky Malhotra/ Md. Irfan Ibrahim Shivani. On his confirmation and authorization Letter we were asked to pay a consultancy process fee of Amount Rs. 15, 00, 000.00 (Rupees Fifteen Lakhs Only) To Mr. Md. Irfan Ibrahim Shivani / Vicky Malhotra. We have asked them to get the direct Signoff with the client so that we get the payments in Directly.
As per his instruction we paid them via RTGS Transfers.
We have been asked to arrange the requirements as per the Onboarding document (Annexure II) shared by Mr. Irfan Ibrahim Shivani / Vicky Malhotra. With all the efforts and help of the consultants and paper adds we managed to arrange the same. We were then informed that there is a delay in trainings due to some credit card fraud happened in the kolkatta center, the trainers would be arriving by February 16th 2015. On our trail mails we have asked Mr. Abraham to share all the details of the client but Mr. Abraham Lincoln denied by saying as it is confidential and cannot be disclosed until the arrival of the trainers. We have recruited the staff with the concern of Mr. Irfan Ibrahim Shivani / Vicky Malhotra and Abraham. And all the IT requirements were setup with the help of Mr. Rajeev an IT person accompanied by Mr. Vicky.
On finding the delays by them, we have asked them the reasons for the delay on 18th February 2015, on which Mr. Vicky / Irfan responded to us saying that the delay is due to the issue happened at the other center and client is upset and they are trying hard to resolve the issues. So he asked us to start an outbound process till the trainer arrives. Which we were not interested and started it to keep the staff busy. We ran the process for 10 days and stopped as it was not a feasible one and were trying to get in touch with Vicky/ Irfan from 15th March 2015 to 30th March 2015. On 30th March 2015, we got a mail from Vicky's id saying that it is his wife Sonia and wanted to inform us that he is in tremendous shock due to some one looted him on way back from madurai. Finally he called up and sent mail saying that he would be visiting our center on 10th April 2015 to recheck the status of the setup before the trainers could come on 13th April 2015. He visited our center and had the complete check and informed his client Abraham Lincoln about it and then on 16th April he revised the date to 22nd April 2015 and then on 23rd April 2015. Again the trainers did not arrive and then we were told that the client want ISO certifications so Mr. Abraham is getting it done for his company ways2save consultancy Pvt. Ltd and he would get the dates by 13or 14th May 2015.
Due to delay with US inbound Process, Vicky approached us with other processes which again didn't fly.
On our insisting and repeatedly asking he told that the ISO audit has been done and the trainers would reach on 22June 2015. Then they have asked us to arrange a training room for 24 people with Computers and Internet as the trainer would be arriving on 22nd June. Again to our dismay the trainers didn't arrive. Again after followup he sent a mail that trainers would be arriving from chennai on 6th July 2015 and shall start training from 7th July 2015 and the per hour billing of $5 per hour would start from 7th July 2015. When again the trainers didn't arrive as expected, he mailed us confirming that we can bill them for the delay. Again on 9th July Vicky sent us the mail stating that the trainers would be arriving on 13th July 2015 and we may send him the training reports from 7th July 2015 for invoice purpose. Again the trainers didn't arrive on 13th July 2015, on our mail asking the reason vicky sent us the mail which got from Mr. Abraham stating that the delay is from the client's end they are happy to pay for the delay and asked us to send us the daily reports with the biometrics and confimred that the trainers would reach Mumbai by 18th July 2015 and shall start the training from 20th July 2015. Again the trainers didn't arrive and on our calls to vicky he mailed us on 23rd that the trainers would be arriving on 27th and start training on 28th July 2015 and we can continue to bill him and send the complete report for July with invoice in a single mail for Invoice.Again the trainers didn't arrive on 28th July 2015 and we got one more date on 29th July that the trainers would be reaching by 31st July 2015.
On 3rd August 2015, On receiving the invoice from us for the month of July 2015, he said that he has received the invoice and shall process the same and also said that he shall be sharing the itinerary of the trainers and he would be arriving to Mumbai shortly. In the late evening on the same day he gave us new date of 6th August 2015 for the trainers arrival. Again the trainers didn't arrive and then on 10th August he sent us mail with the flight tickets of Farah Mackenzie who will be the trainer for the process from the client shall be arriving on 18th August 2015. On non availability of Mr. Irfan/Vicky on phones and home, I Rizwanuddin visited Mr. Abraham at his office ways2save consultancy Pvt. ltd. on 12th August 2015 as Vicky/Irfan was not available on phone and home address and as we have not got the payment for July 2015. Mr. Abraham asked me to mail Vicky stating that if he does not adhere to the timelines we shall directly signoff with Mr. Abraham and he has to pay us the process fees, payments for the invoices and training bills till 13th August 2015. On which he replied stating that he shall pay the invoice once he receives the payment from his client Mr. Abraham and he shall be happy for the direct signoff.
Again on 18th the trainer did not arrive and Mr. Abraham sent us the mail that the trainer was supposed to be in Kolkata on 18th August 2015 and he is waiting for her there in Kolkata. And about the Invoice payment we were told on 20th Aug 2015 that the payment shall be done 28th of August 2015.
On 24th August we sent him the mail stating that the payments shall be paid by 30th August 2015 for July 2015, from next month the payments should be done within 10 days from the invoice, if the trainer does not arrive on 3rd September, Mr. Vicky and Abraham shall be paying all the invoices and damages from Jan 2015. Which he agreed through mail on 26th and 29th August after confirmation from Mr. Abraham. Again the trainer didn't arrive and Mr. Abraham went to UK for business trip and Vicky/ Irfan was not able to confirm. On 3rd September we received a payment of Rs. 2, 00, 000.00 and on 4t September 2015 a payment of Rs.6, 97, 600.00 was received against the invoice of July 2015 through Vicky's another company named as VM Infotech.
On 7th September Vicky sent us the mail that Mr. Abraham will be reaching Manchester on 7th and he shall send us the itineraries of the Mr. Richard(Trainer) who shall be arriving at our center on 9th September 2015.
Again on 8th the dates were changed due to trainers personal reason and the trainer shall reach by 11th September 2015 and the training shall start by 13th September 2015 and we may continue to bill them for the delay.
On the non receipt of the payment for the August 2015, Vicky mailed stating the payment shall be done by 15th or 18th of the month. On demanding the payment advice, he shaed a payment advice through VM Infotech stating the payment details and mentioning that he will not be paying the service tax as he is not getting it from the client and then corrected it.
On 23rd September Vicky sent us mail with attachment with back dated letter of 1st September 2015 stating that since they closed the business of Endive all the payments shall be done by VM infotech and all the liabilities of Endive shall be on VM Infotech.
On non receipt of August Payment, When we sent him a mail he gave the excuses of bank holidays and assured that the payments shall be done as soon as the payments are credited to his accounts. But daily giving us some or the other reasons and not paying us. One reason was that the payments have been sent to his account but the bank didn't honour it and the payment was sent back. Then Mr. Vicky mailed Mr. Abraham to transfer the payment directly to our company account, which he agreed to do. Then Mr. Vicky sent us the transaction number of payment through HSBC account on 8th October 2015, But till now we have not received any payment from Mr. Abraham or by that transaction number.
On 20th September, Vicky sent us the mail saying that payment was processed from the client and he shall pay soon for the month of August 2015 and for the month of September he has escalated to his client and it shall be resolved soon.
On 21st October, Mr. Vicky shared us the transaction details of his payment from Mr. Chris Fletcher through Remitly.com. Which never hit his account as stated by him.
On 3rd November on our mail that we shall be pulling out the support, he insisted us to be patient and not to remove the staff and the trainer would be arriving soon by 18th November.
On 7th November he sent us a mail that he has transferred us Rs. 1, 00, 000.00 through his another account by name Mr. Irfan Ibrahim Shivani through Kotak Account with the following details.
Debit Account Number : XXXXXX2582
Amount : Rs.1, 00, 000.00
Beneficiary Name:TIFRA
Beneficiary Account:XXXXXX0807
Transaction Reference Number: 24432469
Available balance: Rs.290.65
Combined Available balance: Rs.290.65
The above details turned out to be false.
On 10th November 2015, on my visit to Mr. Abraham, he confirmed that he has taken a share of Rs. 2, 50, 000.00 out of the process fees for US inbound Process and the rest is with Vicky. He then asked Vicky to meet us in Bangalore, he agreed to meet on 18th November which was later postponed to 19th November 2015.
On 15th November, we sent an official Termination for cause notice though mail.
On 15th he confirmed to meet on 19th November to resolve the issues. and arranged a payment of Rs. 1, 00, 000.00 from Saviraj Infosolutions.
On our meeting on 19th Novemeber, it was agreed by both Mr. Abraham and Mr. Vicky Malhotra/ Irfan Shivani, and Mr. Vicky sent us a mail stating " As per our meeting in Ways2save consultancy on 19/11/2015 @7:45 with Mr Abraham, Mr Rizwanuddin and me it has been agreed that all the Invoices raised from your end to V M Infotech shall be cleared before 30th Nov 15. And about the Trainers will confirm about there arrival on 24th of Nov 15 failing which we are happy to return the process fees with all the Invoices and damages incurred".
Till now we have received only Rs. 14, 65, 000.00 against our invoices of Rs.62, 39, 008.00.. For further payments he said he shall be paying in cash as his some investor from dubai has sent him the cash through hawala. But he is not paying and giving us the excuses saying that his cash was nabbed by the police.
Now Vicky / Irfan is absconding and Abraham safely says that the agreement was with Vicky so you contact him.
These People has also done such frauds with the center in Thane, Chandigarh, Chennai, Hyderabad and Bangalore.
If anyone comes in contact with him please mail his number to me.
