IMPORTANT NOTICE
It is more than one year since this blog has been published. Scammers were desperate to put it down they sent a number of nasty e-mails even some with threats.
Finally they opted for a different approach. They changed logo on some of websites and changed pictures in attempt to make this blog look unrelated. This blog will stay unchanged to show interested viewers the whole story from the beginning.
In March 2016 the scammers started a vigorous campaign of publishing testimonials on the Web of Trust page. When most of them are spoofed – others are written by victims of the special strategy developed by scammers.
From the beginning they provide fairly good service, then politely ask the client for a testimony, after which the client cannot contradict him/herself by complaining that they rob her/him in every possible way. Theirs tactic is very cunning with two goals: get positive testimonials and steal as much money as possible after.
In whole year 2015 on the WOT page was only one positive opinion published next day after this blog went on-line! In 2016 they flooded pages of WOT with fakes.
Even child would know that this is an artificially pumped scam.

ECLICK TECHNOLOGIES SCAM – Part 1
Please note that a new breed of SCAM has been developed by the Indian S E O and web design company named “E Click Softwares & Solutions Pvt Ltd”, also known as “E Click Technologies Pvt Ltd” (LinkedIn members). They are targeting Small Businesses and claim to have an office in Australia, Ireland, UK and the USA. The Australian website address http://www.eclicksoftwares.com/ is bogus, the phone number diverts to India and their mail address is @gmail.com. The scam is well-crafted and difficult to spot at first sight. I have been trapped in Australia and I am sure I am not an isolated case.
They lure the target by offering a very competitive price for the service, like SEO for existing website, existing website rework or social media management. In order to allow them to download the new website design to the client’s hosting server they will ask to give them passwords to Control Panel and FTP files.
Firstly they deliver a fairly good product, the client is paying progressively when the result is visible and all looks fine. Then, after the client has invested about $3000.00 for web rework and another $1000 for the SEO, “E Click Softwares & Solutions Pvt Ltd” or “E Click Technologies Pvt Ltd” informs that the hosting server in the client’s country it is not reliable or secure. They will demand you to switch to their server and make them the hosting company.
The problem is that the hosting company in Australia for example charges $160 per YEAR, but Indians will want to charge $170 per MONTH for hosting.
As I could not see anything wrong with my hosting company and server I refused to switch. Who knows what charges would follow if they had control of my website? After two weeks Azam Khushnoor (Process Manager) notified me that my website is down and all SEO work is lost because of a failure with my server. Of course there was nothing wrong with the server. Azam Khushnoor just turned down my website! For an extra payment they reinstalled my website however the money I paid for S E O was lost. At this point I asked my hosting company to change all my passwords to cut off the Indians. Never the less I found that the Indians, before I could cut them off, altered my important files like robots.txt to make my website invisible on the Internet. Of course their “Money Back Guarantee” is as bogus as their Australian office address.
In conclusion ….. the way “E Click Softwares & Solutions Pvt Ltd” or “E Click Technologies Pvt Ltd” conducts it’s business is disgusting, to say the least.
IT IS A SCAM!!!
