Billing ScamThis is the big one folks. The scammer will tell you that waiting for payments is unrealistic and you should be paid right away. They will offer to help you with this. When they sign up a client they will get advance payment. Of course what they don't tell you is you will be lucky to see 25% of that money. DO NOT LET ANYONE OTHER THAN A LICENSED COLLECTION AGENCY COLLECT FUNDS FOR YOUR BUSINESS.Scammers offer to take credit card payments for you as that is quicker. Trust me folks wait for Canada Post to deliver the check. It may take a few weeks but at least you will get it and can put it in your bank account and not the scammer's vacation fund.The scammer will also try for access to your bank account. NOPE NO DA NADA - ABSOLUTELY FRIGGING NOT. No one other than you or the accounting person you assign should ever ever have access to your bank account. You will be very poor and indebt very fast if you allow this.One question I was asked is how do you stop scammers from getting funds from your clients that you aren't aware of. Yup that is right they are collecting for extra stuff from your clients and pocketing all the money and you have no clue about. They get rich and you get poor.One of the easiest and most effective ways to stop a scammer is:Send a welcome letter to all clients. Yup that easy and that simple. In the letter put in about where all billing is to be sent and introduce yourself and make sure your email, phone number and extension number are on the letter and state clearly that you are the person to contact and that all payments are to be made out to your company and sent to your office address.Sounds simple doesn't it but it's not - you have to be on your toes. These scammers have been doing this for years and years and years and are never caught and never charged. There is a reason for this. Most companies are too embarrassed to admit they have been scammed so the scammer just keeps right on doing it.The average company is scammed for between $25000 and $500000.these guys are pros - it is how they live the high life and as far as they are concerned they are doing nothing wrong. It is just business.Of course you are out of business but they are in Marthas Vineyard sampling wine and don't give a damn about you.

your right they have stopped doing faxes through other companys ...now they do it directly from their office!

In doing due diligence on Ryan Soper, I checked with the Calgary BBB and found that there have never been any complaints filed against Ryan Soper nor his company, RWC Communications Ltd.. In talking with Ryan Soper, he told me that neither he, nor any of his representatives, had ever done business with any of the people listed on this Blog some can not be identified as the used unreal names and screen names. If you truly are a real person with a real complaint, why don't you file a complaint with the BBB? If you are a real person, with a legitimate complaint, the BBB could potentially arbitrate a settlement or at the very least notify potential clients of Ryan that these complaints exist. Again, you have to be a real person to file a complaint with the BBB.

Ryan,Are you a member of the BBB?  If not this is of little consequence.  You really need to do your homework before you comment.We can contact the BBB (you should) and ask them the process, don't take my word for it.Mike

Unsolicited fax spam from Techs-On-Time at www.techs-on-time.com Contact info at website conveniently omits return fax number and no fax number on spam sent.  Don't they know its illegal to send unsolicited faxes in Canada without a return fax number?
