Current position - marketing specialist in Speedflow Communications Ltd - wholesale VoIP provider since 2004. How the
world crisis affects telecoms? What tricks can you expect and how is it
possible to protect yourself from them?
We decided to talk about it with Daniel, executive manager of www.voipfraud.net – so far the most reliable anti-fraud
web-portal concerning VoIP business. He noted that during the last month the
number of publications about cases of fraud on www.voipfraud.net increased by
about 20 percent against the previous month. “We had 5 companies added only
during the last two days” – he says, - “the number of registered users on our
portal has essentially increased as well. We believe, it shows that people are
concerned about the situation on telecommunications’ market and they are trying
to get as much information, as they can, to protect themselves.”
The worst if that fraud companies create a
chain reaction, which can affect 3-4 or even more companies at a time. The
company, that run into some major fraud in crisis period, may become a
defaulter itself, so now its’ partners will not get expected earnings and may
be forced to freeze their payments as well. So, now we are facing the situation
when even honest company may become a threat for your business.
What can be done in this situation? Credit
checks are not always 100% reliable, are they? Of course, the most obvious
answer is to stop giving any credits and work only on pre-paid terms, but it
would destroy most of small and middle telecoms and, correspondingly, weaken
even powerful corporations.
Speedflow Communications has worked out
trade-off decision intended for securing ourselves from defaulters and frauds
as well as for preserving convenient conditions of partnership. In the nearest
time all contracts with our partners will be reviewed with corrections in
mutual credit lines. It will assure that all circumstances of current situation
are taken into consideration and companies did their best to ensure themselves
from risk of unreasonably big credits.
Taking all necessary measures so that our partners
and clients don’t feel any pressure of this complicated situation, our major
priorities now are to keep the quality of our services at the highest level and
to make collaborating with us comfortable and mutually beneficial. We believe
that having joined to live through hard times, we will strengthen partnering
and continue growing together.
