Bait with a great name

Excerpt from the article "TEN  SIGNS  OF  A  SWINDLE"
 
Assume that you are an owner or a manager of mining and metallurgical Plant, and you have a need to solve some complex technical problem (to develop a project of a new Plant, a new technology, to optimize the processes, to change the equipment, software, etc.). You can't do it yourself, because you don't have experts. By an advice of friends you are accessing to the mediation company offering engineering services and much other. "They will help me for sure here! It's all so serious, it's almost a ministry!" Maybe so. But you should not relax. After all, only you are interested in a solution of your problem. All others are only interested in your money and no one is going to save your money. That's for sure!

However, enough the presence of the following features to recognize an unscrupulous contractor:


Bait with a great name. Contractor is trying to get you by a great name of scientist or a famous professional, who is reportedly already agreed to participate in the project. Some indirect proof of this is presented to you. But the well-known scientist (pro) is not contacting with you now (on some reasons). Only a mediator leads all negotiations and meetings. When the contract has been signed, the famous scientist's name is missing from the list of performers of the project by some reason. Or his name disappears at a later stage of the project. But this is no one cares. They in fact already spent the money. In some cases, a participation of famous person in the project is still supported, but only as a sign in the final document. You've never seen this person. Also, may be another version of this swindle - in the list of performers of the project will be name (s) of other person (s), but very similar with the great name. In this case, please contact directly with the famous person, discuss your project and its part in the project. Often this famous person even doesn't know about the project.

  1. For example, they write on Chinese sites "perovskite" next to the names of my sites and articles but no "Petrovskaya"

  2. They use my name and my profiles to promote their products and services without my permission. They hack all my content systematically
    I did not add a Chilean company.
    They hacked my profile and added this Chilean company.
    I already deleted this company from my profile in Linkedin once. They hacked my profile again and added this company again. Second time!
    To whom is it profitable? http://gladiolus1.blogspot.com/2018/07/they-use-my-name-and-my-profiles-to.html
