Coracall is definitely not the company you want to place your trust in
A number of companies have made headlines over the last few years, but one company that has made headlines for all the wrong reasons is Phruit Limited. And it has done so because of its deceptive ways.However, a company that is presently out to deceive customers in a very clever manner is Coracall.
Coracall right now appears to be spotlessly clean, however it is cleverly laying its trap for customers. But since it is doing so in such a deceptive manner it is very hard for customers to not fall into this trap.Coracall is right now in the initial level of its deception strategy. So basically what agents of Coracall are doing right now is that they are making calls to various individuals and asking for their private information stating that it is for research purposes.
And this is where they are blatantly lying. For the truth is that they are deriving personal data from individuals not for research purposes but to sell it to various product selling companies. Once these companies get their hands on the information/data of individuals, the real trouble is going to begin as individuals are going to start receiving telemarketing calls from these companies on a non stop basis.
And it will surely be a harrowing experience for them. But can we just make up accusations about Coracall from out of the blue? On what basis can we state that Coracall will indulge in all that we are accusing it off? The fact that Coracall is related to Phruit Limited is more than enough to be assured that Coracall will indulge in the same unethical practices.
For those readers who are still unaware of why Phruit Limited is infamous, let's go in for a quick summary. Till the year 2010, Phruit Limited enjoyed a good reputation of being a company that provided a number of valuable services including lead generation.However, their greed led to their downfall. They set out to deceive individuals by making calls, acquiring information and stating that it was merely for research purposes.
But research was just an excuse to get out information from unsuspecting individuals and then sell it to various product selling companies. Soon after individuals started getting harassed by non stop telemarketing calls. They got fed up and decided to look into the matter when they realized that telemarketing calls were coming to them, despite opting for TPS registration and being on Do Not Call lists.
They soon put two plus two together and wondered whether Phruit was behind this sudden spurt in telemarketing calls. A complaint was launched with the DMC and Phruit was looked into. The results were startling.
Phruit was found to be guilty of the following violations:1. 21.18 and 21.20 on TPS compliance and data cleansing.2. 3.11 under which Phruit has a responsibility for compliance by suppliers.3. 3.18 on "sugging" or carrying out sales and marketing under the disguise of research.But on what basis do we relate Coracall to Phruit? Do we have any substantial proof to back our claims?
Well, the answer to the question is yes. The following facts will prove that the two are related: Even though they changed their location to South Africa, they have hung onto their roots in UK as their proprietor is British company Assured Capital Holdings.  It is worth noting that Mr. Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall! And the services offered by Coracall as well as the strategies employed by them are very similar to that of Phruit.This is all the proof one needs to realize that both are related and that they should stay away from Coracall, no matter how hard agents try to convince individuals that they will not deceive them.
If one has already started receiving calls from Coracall put an end to this nonsense at once.Coracall can easily be reached at the following number:Barnby House,Barnby Gate,Newark,Nottinghamshire,NG24 1PZ.Or they can be called up at 08455 19****
Emily Edison is not one to keep quite while fraud companies like Coracall make a fool of customers. She is determined to create awareness about fraud companies like Coracall and Phruit so that they can be brought to justice.
Coracall is definitely not a company you want to associate yourself with
Most companies are out to make profits and that is perfectly alright.Profits are absolutely essential to their sustenance and it is through customers that they make profits. But this does not in any way mean that customers should be exploited in order for a business to make profits.
Yet there are a number of fraud businesses out there that would take the shortcut to financial gains at the cost of the customer. They would gladly exploit or deceive individuals out of their greed to make money. And a number of fraud companies have made their appearance on the business scene while in the future a number of such businesses will continue to do so.
Coracall is one such company which at the present moment is out to fool customers. Readers might not believe this accusation against Coracall and their disbelief is justifiable because at the present moment Coracall is putting in its very best efforts to build a positive impression about itself.
However, we can most definitely assure individuals that sooner or later Coracall is going to begin with its fraud practices and every one who had trusted it then is going to repent.Yet, with Coracall not making any such deceitful moves at the present moment how dare we muster up the courage to make such accusations against it?
Well, we most definitely have the right to make such accusations against Coracall because it is related to the fraud company called Phruit.For those readers who have no clue about the infamous past of Coracall,lets take a quick look back at it.
Phruit Limited was a UK based company that offered many services amongst which lead generation was one. Phruit enjoyed a really good reputation in the UK until the year 2010, when the truth about it came spilling out. What Phruit had done was totally unethical, agents of Phruit had made calls to individuals and taken out personal information from them by stating that it was purely for research purposes.Naïve individuals saw no harm in helping out with some details but the horrifying fact was that their details were sold to various product selling companies for financial gains. And then very soon the real nightmare began for individuals as their telephones kept on ringing non stop. The product selling companies that had acquired their numbers from Phruit started calling individuals and offering them similar products/services.
And individuals got totally frustrated and disgusted with this flood of telemarketing calls. They began to wonder how their numbers got out to these companies when they had opted for TPS compliance and had their numbers registered on the Do Not Call lists.
That is when the first wave of suspicion struck them-had they not given out their personal information to a so-called research company called Phruit.So these suspicious individuals decided that the matter should be reported to the authorities. This is when they decided to register a complaint with the DMC which promptly decided to look into the matter. A DMC investigation revealed that Phruit had openly flouted three very important guidelines:
1. 21.18 and 21.20 on TPS compliance and data cleansing.2. 3.11 under which Phruit has a responsibility for compliance by suppliers.3. 3.18 on "sugging" or carrying out sales and marketing under the disguise of research
After this humiliating discovery of the actual unlawful acts Phruit had indulged in, it lost the respect of its customers as well as its credibility. It had no option but to shut down in the UK and that is where people thought the matter ended. But no they were wrong, Phruit while underground made careful plans to recover and has now re-emerged as the South Africa based company Coracall.
But once again how can we prove that Coracall and Phruit are related to one another?
Well, this we can do by simply stating three facts:
1. Although Phruit shut down in the UK, they relocated to South Africa, assumed the name Coracall and began functioning out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal yet their proprietor is British company Assured Capital Holdings.2. Also the management is basically the same because Mr. Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall!3. And the services offered by Coracall as well as the strategies employed by them are very similar to that of Phruit.
So Coracall is basically a new mask that Phruit has adopted as it has set out to fool individuals all over again. Agents of Coracall will try their very best to fool customers by stating that their intentions are all good. But individuals would be thankful to themselves if they just stayed away from it.However,if they have already started receiving calls from Coracall,then its high time they make a complaint against it at the following address:
Barnby House,Barnby Gate,Newark,Nottinghamshire,NG24 1PZ.Or they can be called up at 08455 19****
Shaun Aster is actively out to take down fraud companies like Coracall.She is warning customers to stay away as it is related to Phruit Limited which has been found to be guilty of indulging in unethical marketing practices.
Run away from Coracall!
Individuals are blind to the true intentions of a particular business probably because they put on such a good mask of deception. By nature individuals are unsuspecting and they tend to take a business at its face value. One would have to be absolutely paranoid to do a background check on each and every business that approaches them.
And this unsuspecting nature has cost them dearly. There are a number of fraud businesses that will stop at nothing to get what they want. Many fraud businesses are driven by greed and use customers to make financial gains. Innocent customers become victims to their cruel plans and schemes of deception.
However, would not the situation have been so much better if individuals had received some afore mentioned information about a particular business.Atleast then they could have stayed away from the particular business. And even if then after repeated warning they still decided to trust a business then they could totally blame themselves.
But if it is known that a particular company is out to fool customers then it is some kind of moral obligation to pass the message onto others. At the present moment a company called Coracall is in operation and it is slowly but surely spinning its web of deception.
Now, Coracall is being very careful about its activities which mean that its true intentions are well hidden under the surface. But in due course of time, its true nature will emerge as it shares its roots with a well known fraud company called Phruit.
Most individuals are aware about the infamous Phruit Limited but for those who are not, it's wise to take a fast recapitulation.Phruit Limted was a UK based company that until 2010 enjoyed immense reputation but then its acts of deception were revealed.
Agents of Phruit used to call up individuals and ask them for personal data by stating that it was for research purposes. When individuals heard that it was for research or surveys, they saw no harm in giving out this information. However, agents had lied about the information being wanted for research purposes. This is because whatever information was obtained was sold to various product selling companies in return for financial gains.
Soon the telephones of customers started ringing off the hook constantly. And individuals were puzzled as to how their contact numbers reached these product selling companies when they had opted for TPS compliance and had their numbers registered on the Do Not Call lists.
After giving some thought to the matter, all suspicion started pointing towards Phruit.So angered individuals asked the DMC to launch an investigation against Phruit.The DMC investigation against Phruit, threw up some shocking facts:
1. 21.18 and 21.20 on TPS compliance and data cleansing.2. 3.11 under which Phruit has a responsibility for compliance by suppliers.3. 3.18 on "sugging" or carrying out sales and marketing under the disguise of research
Phruit lost its reputation and had to flee from the UK scene, but this was not meant to last forever. Phruit while underground made plans for its comeback and although they are now located in South Africa and function by a new name Coracall, they are surely back with a bang.
But we still need to prove how Phruit and Coracall are related. By simply stating three facts we can prove how they are related:
1. Although Phruit shut down in the UK, they relocated to South Africa, took on a new name-Coracall and began functioning out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal yet their proprietor is British company Assured Capital Holdings.2. Also the management has not as Mr. Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall!3. And the services offered by Coracall as well as the strategies employed by them are very similar to that of Phruit.Despite stating all these facts, agents of Coracall will still state how they have no such harmful intentions against individuals.However, once warned it would be truly wise if individuals stayed away. If however, one has already started receiving calls from Coracall,they should immediately put an end to it by contacting Coracall at the following address:
Barnby House,Barnby Gate,Newark, Nottinghamshire,NG24 1PZ.Or they can be called up at 08455 19****
Shaun Aster will not sit around and let fraud companies like Coracall make a fool of customers. She has highlighted how since Coracall is related to the fraud company called Phruit it is sure to follow in its footsteps.
Coracall: New Skin for Old Phruit
Getting research calls from a company named Coracall lately? Beware! Chances are that the information you furnish to them might be sold to some other parties or they may try to sale you something in the research call itself. Yes, we are talking about that unethical telemarketing practice that is infamously known as "˜Sugging.'
Past case of Sugging We all know that previously there were some lead generation companies such as Phruit Limited that got them suspended from Direct Marketing Association membership for one whole year due to unethical direct marketing and lead generation practices such as "˜Sugging', TPS compliance and data cleansing. And now it's time for Coracall to take up those foul means.
The Coracall-Phruit Connection: revealed!One may question, what Coracall, a relatively new company from Newark, Nottinghamshire, UK (though both companies are from the same location) has to do with Phruit. The answer is "˜everything'! For Coracall is a sister brand for Phruit limited. What's more, Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall!
How Phruit went bad?For those who are not aware of any unethical practice by Phruit Limited and think of it as a reputed UK-based lead generation company, let us take a quick look at some previous events. Sometimes back Phruit Limited indulged into a number of unethical telemarketing and lead generation practices. And that got them landed into an investigation by the Direct Marketing Commission. In this investigation it was found that Phruit has breached the following DMA codes:-
"¢ 21.18 and 21.20 on TPS compliance and data cleansing"¢ 3.11 under which Phruit has a responsibility for compliance by suppliers "¢ 3.18 on "sugging" or carrying out sales and marketing under the guise of research
As a result of this investigation Direct Marketing Association suspended Phruit Limited from its membership for one year. DMC too suggested the same.
The company also became subject to several other investigations by trade bodies, Information Commissions' Office etc.
It should also be included that despite these investigations and thousands of complaints to DMA and online, Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited kept denying the fact that what they did was unethical.
Why Watch Coracall Carefully?As Coracall, the South Africa-based call center company with office in Nottinghamshire, is under the same management, it is feared by the experts that they will tread the same path sooner or later. Now one may argue that, Coracall is a new company that might not have the same ethical issues as its sister brand. But keeping your eyes open won't harm anyone.
What to Do To Prevent Such Practice?So in case you receive a call from Coracall and they try to sell you stuff in a research call, don't forget to raise your voice against them. And if after any such call you start getting marketing calls in bulk while you signed up for telephone preference service (TPS) to opt out of marketing calls, then probably this is another of their unethical practices. In such cases report against such unethical practice to the authorities like DMA or Data Watchdog or mail them directly. If you want to complain to Coracall directly, here are their contact details ""

Stay away from Coracall for your own good
It's sad to say so but it is true that a number of businesses are out there to make profits through absolutely unethical means. Their greed is the fuel that makes them take undue advantage of innocent customers. In general customers are trusting by nature, therefore, they do not look upon every business with distrust and this is why businesses are able to move in and make a fool of customers.
So yes many such fraud companies have come and gone but at the present moment there is a company that is out to fool customers. And it would be so helpful if individuals are warned about it before they cause irreparable harm against customers. Once such company that is out to befool customers at the present moment is called Coracall.Now Coracall might be putting up a very straight and innocent exterior but a little research about its roots will throw up interesting facts.
So what is the truth behind Coracall? Well, Coracall just happens to be the sister concern of a proven fraud company called Phruit Limited. Now many readers are aware of Phruit's bad reputation but for those of who do not know it's good to take a walk down memory lane.
The shocking truth about Phruit came to light about two years ago. Up until then Phruit enjoyed a good name and the trust of customers in the UK.But what agents of Phruit did was a gross violation of the privacy of individuals and unethical as well.
Agents of Phruit started making calls to individuals and asked them for personal information stating that it was for research purposes. The truth is that it was definitely not for research purposes as the information obtained was sold to various product selling companies. So Phruit lied to customers and violated marketing practices as well.
Very soon individuals started receiving telemarketing calls from customers at all hours of the day trying to sell similar products and services to them. And this caused individuals lives to turn into a nightmare where the phone kept ringing all the time.
However, individuals soon got harassed and they began to wonder how they were being contacted when their numbers were on the Do Not Call lists and they had opted for TPS compliance. Its then that they started to suspect Phruit and decided to take up the matter with the DMC.
Luckily the DMC was more than willing to immediately look into the matter. A DMC led investigation revealed that Phruit was guilty of violating the following guidelines:
1. 21.18 and 21.20 on TPS compliance and data cleansing.
2. 3.11 under which Phruit has a responsibility for compliance by suppliers.
3. 3.18 on "sugging" or carrying out sales and marketing under the disguise of research
After these shocking and unethical acts that Phruit had indulged in were revealed, they completely lost their reputation in the UK as well as the trust of the customers. So they had to shut down in the UK but then they moved to a new location-South Africa and are now operating out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal only now they are calling themselves Coracall.
And we have solid proof that Coracall and Phruit are related. All we need to convince customers is to state three simple facts as given below:
1. Despite shifting their base to South Africa and functioning out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal, their proprietor is British company Assured Capital Holdings.
2. Something worth mentioning is that Mr. Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall!
3. And the services offered by Coracall as well as the strategies employed by them are very similar to that of Phruit.
So this is more than enough proof to show how Phruit is linked to Coracall.However,agents of Coracall will be at their persuasive best to get individuals to place their trust in Coracall.This however would be a huge mistake as sooner or later the actual deceitful nature of Coracall is sure to emerge. If individuals have already started receiving calls from Coracall they should immediately protest and contact them at the following address:
Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,
Nottinghamshire,
NG24 1PZ.
