  • Axact is a Pakistani tech company with fancy offices and butlers waiting on their employees night and day. But they don't make apps or chatbots. Instead, they create elaborate websites and marketing materials for colleges that don't exist, then scam people into buying fake degrees. And their customers love it. One employee, let's call him "Fazal," gives us all the dirt on how this elaborate online extortion scheme works.

      This is OOOLLDDD. Craigslist free section scam. Get people to take away your large trash dump runs. That’s an old one. I lost a lot of credit for Jack rhysider here. I’m convinced Jack is a scam channel and these are all collection of stories and put together to make new stories and new stories. I’m convinced a lot of these how’s are just regurgitated stories:

      True. But word of advice: don't worship our past ancestors. Acknowledge that we are superior to what they were as we build the future. Our ancestors lived experiences were very intense and abusive. We should acknowledge the instincts of the past, and mend the old ways with the new. Social capacity is everything, and high capacity social behaviour needs to be rewarded. For too long has shitty behaviour been rewarded.
      Mentorship is important, even if the vikings did it in an abusive way with the thrall system for some. Regardless of which form we take, our instinct is to reach out to the newest technology and start the next big trend for now.

      The movie part I really liked is that he installed a big time sound system owner could remotely control. The thief is at the CEO's home garage. He put it on heavy metal full treble. Made him listen to that all night. Need to relieve your self? Go ahead. It is not so much the value of the car, at is the badness that crooks do to you. So much anger at getting robbed . by the sound shop that installed my security. They knew what I had. Proceeded to hack the wire harnesses to gypsy level Hell. I just kept upgrading.

    I bought a fake highshool diploma for my wife so she could go to beauticians school. It did its job. The place would even answer the phone as he highschool and verify thay she was a graduate. Kind of a bargin really. She got her licenses and has a carrier without having to go theough the whole process of getting a GED which would have been very difficult for her. Great deal for like $400.

    The only crime in selling a fake degree is if either the client doesn't know it's fake and paid a lot of money or they do know it's fake and the documents they paid a lot of money for don't come in the mail.
    Otherwise, the only criminals are every employer who demands every applicant for a job has a bachelor's degree just to answer the phone.

    As a Pakistani, I am saddened by the law and order situation in this country. It's disheartening to see a company scam thousands of people and make millions of dollars, yet manage to get away with it despite the presence of concrete evidence and statements. I wonder whether it's the incompetence and corruption of the FIA (Federal Investigation Agency), the judiciary, or Pakistani politicians that prevent the arrest of the culprits behind this. In any other country, the situation might have been handled differently.
