Coracall 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:

1. 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.
2. It is worth noting 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.

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 [protected]

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 Coracall does not have honest intentions

It’s no use beating around the bush, especially when it comes to stating the truth about a deceptive business. Fraud companies have been around in the past and will continue to be. It’s up to individuals to be clever enough to escape from their grasp.

But sometimes individuals fall right into their trap because they are not aware of the true intentions of a company. In other words it can be said that the business puts on a very good mask which individuals are not able to see through.

Most of the time individuals being naive actually place their trust in the business and this turns out to be their biggest mistake.However, it’s not good to look upon mistakes already made in fact its better to think about what preventive steps can be taken to ensure that this does not happen again in the future.

A company that individuals should stay far away from is Coracall and this is for their own good. This is because Coracall is sure to make a fool out of them. One may ask what proof do we have to back up our complaints.Well, Coracall is related to the fraud company called Phruit which already deceived countless individuals in the past. Lets take a quick look back at its past-Phruit was a renowned company in the United Kingdom until 2010 for that was the year in which the truth about it came spilling out. Complaints from individuals led the DMC to look into the actions of Phruit and they realized that Phruit had violated 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

How were they able to fool individuals in the first place?
Their agents were clever enough to phone individuals and retrieve personal information from them by telling a lie. The lie that they told was that the information being retrieved was for research purposes when in reality it was being sold to various product selling companies. And when these companies got their hands on this information it led to a sea of telemarketing calls which greatly harassed individuals. It also angered them because they wondered how their numbers got leaked in the first place. After all they had registered themselves on the Do Not Call lists and had opted for TPS compliance as well.

So they complained to the DMC which looked into the matter and found Phruit to be guilty. Very soon Phruit lost its reputation and had to escape from the business scene.However, it soon returned in the form of Coracall which is why individuals are being asked to stay away.

How can we connect Phruit to Coracall?
We can easily connect Phruit to Coracall by stating three simple facts:

1. Although Phruit is a UK based company and Coracall is a South Africa, based one which functions out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal, their proprietor is one and the same-British company Assured Capital Holdings.
2. Mr. Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall which proves that the management of both companies is one and the same.
3. The services offered by Phruit and Coracall bear an uncanny resemblance.

Hence it is pretty clear that Phruit after exiting UK has returned to make a fool out of customers in the form of the South Africa based Coracall.No matter how much agents try to convince individuals to stay away from Coracall, they should be clever enough to stay away from its grasps.
If they have already started receiving calls from Coracall, then they should immediately complain about it at the following address:

Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,
Nottinghamshire,
NG24 1PZ.
Or they can be called up at [protected]

Emily Edison is not one to tolerate a fraud company like Coracall as it slyly gets individuals stuck in its web of deception. She previously campaigned against Phruit and since the two companies are related she believes that she must all the more keep individuals away.

Coracall Don't let Coracall fool you

It’s probably the oldest story in the world- individuals so often take a company at face value and decide to believe in it blindly. And that is exactly where they go wrong. There are a number of unscrupulous companies, like Coracall that are constantly trying to fool individuals.

And over the course of time, a number of such companies have come and gone but one company that poses a problem at the present moment is Coracall.For those readers who have not heard so much about Coracall, let’s begin by saying that it is a South Africa based company. It operates out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal, and offers a number of services including lead generation.

At the present moment Coracall may not come across as troublesome because they have just begun with the first stage of their ploy to fool customers. Agents of Coracall are just making calls to individuals and asking them to supply information and personal details about themselves by stating that it is for research purposes.

And this is where they are lying because they are squeezing out information not for research purposes but to supply it to various product selling companies. So they are lying as well as violating the privacy of strangers. Soon however, individuals are going to realize how troublesome Coracall is, when a flood of marketing calls start coming in.

And individuals are going to feel both helpless as well as frustrated. But the one question running in the minds of readers right now is-How can we make such direct charges against Coracall, when there is apparently no proof against them at present?

Well proof is what we shall give to you in the next few lines:
Coracall is in reality just a new name that Phruit Limited has acquired. And Phruit is a company that has already been found guilty for its illegal acts. Till the year 2010, Phruit enjoyed a very good reputation in the UK, for providing a number of services including lead generation.However, even then they were up to what unethical acts Coracall will now indulge in. And the secret popped out one day.

Agents of Phruit used to make calls to individuals and cleverly derive information from them by stating that it was for research purposes. The truth was that this information was being sold to various product selling companies for financial games. Once these companies started making telemarketing calls, the lives of individuals became a living hell.

And they were highly confused as well? They wondered how these companies got a hold of their names and contact details when they had opted for TPS compliance and had their numbers registered on the Do Not Call lists.

A tinge of suspicion prompted individuals to launch a case against Phruit with the DMC.Luckily, the DMC was quick to take up the case and launch an investigations. The results of the investigation were truly shocking indeed! 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

Phruit was asked to prove its innocence. And they could not do so because they were definitely guilty. Phruit earned a bad name and had to disappear from the UK, but they waited quietly for when the time was right to re-emerge.

And this they did as they are back in the market as Coracall.But how do we connect Phruit to Coracall?

1. Even though they shifted from the UK to South Africa, they have retained their roots in UK as their proprietor is British company Assured Capital Holdings.
2. Mr. Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall!
3. And thirdly Coracall offers exactly the same services as Phruit used to with lead generation services being one of them.

These facts we are sure is more than enough to convince even the greatest non believer that Phruit and Coracall are one and the same. So despite how convincing agents of Coracall are and state that they would never violate individual’s privacy, they should stay away. Staying away from Coracall will turn out to be for their own good.However, if individuals have already started receiving calls from Coracall, its time to put an end to this nonsense.

Complain against Coracall, at the following address of theirs:
Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,
Nottinghamshire,
NG24 1PZ.
Or they can be called up at [protected]

Emily Edison will never let a fraud company like Coracall get away with deceiving customers. She makes it her mission to educate customers about how they can stay away from the trap of Phruit/Coracall and in fact take legal action against them.

Coracall Phruit is back in the form of Coracall

For the residents of UK, the name of the company Phruit Limited does bring up memories and not good memories mind you. Two years ago Phruit Limited was found and proven to be guilty of so many direct marketing violations that their memory was forever tarnished.

Direct Marketing Association had set down some rules regarding direct marketing so as to ensure that it was fair to one and all. But Phruit Limited went right ahead and grossly violated the guidelines set down by the DMA.

In the year 2010, Phruit Limited practiced what is known as “sugging”.This means that they leaked out private information of customers and then sold it to product selling companies.

So how did Phruit Limited manage to fool customers?
Well when agents of Phruit Limited made calls to customers they stated that they were conducting research surveys and thus customers were more ready to give out their private data to them. Once this confidential information was acquired Phruit played dirty and sold it to a number of product selling companies.

Now customers began to receive calls from a number of companies selling similar products and services they were greatly confused. They wondered how such companies were calling them when they had opted for TPS registration and their numbers were a part of the Do Not Call list.

And this suspicion lead to a customer filing a complaint with the DMA, soon investigations were conducted and it was revealed that Phruit was the culprit.Phruit was found to be guilty of violating the following three DMC guidelines:

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 disguise of research

And Phruit Limited could in no way defend themselves or prove their innocence because they were guilty all the way. Their membership was taken away from them and the DMA stated that they would be considered for brand new membership only if they could prove their innocence.

Once their unethical and illegal practices were made public they lost their ground in the UK and apparently faded away. They could no longer continue with business as they came to be regarded as untrustworthy.

However, this was only temporary. While they went underground, they carefully and cleverly planned their comeback. They may have given up on the UK but they quickly switched bases to South Africa and acquired a new name Coracall to begin the entire chain of deception all over again.

But what links Coracall to Phruit? How can we say that the two are limited?
Well although Coracall maybe operating from a call center in KwaZulu Natal located in South Africa, they are owned by the British company Assured Capital Holdings. They have just changed their location from one continent to another but their management is still the same.

The services that Coracall is offering bear an uncanny resemblance to those that were being offered by Phruit Limited and hence individuals have already become suspicious. Now agents from Coracall may try their very best to convince customers but one must not fall into their trap so easily.

If you’re already receiving calls from Coracall or when you do, immediately raise your voice against their unfair marketing practices and violation of privacy.

They can be contacted at the following address:
Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,

Or they can be called up at [protected]

How is a naïve individual to know where he can place his trust and where he should not? If a company puts on its best effort and tries to convince a business to trust in it, chances are high that he most definitely will! And this is because no company comes with a warning that it is out to deceive.

So how are individuals to know that they should not trust a particular company? The truth is that one often takes a business at face value. So if nothing amiss is felt at first look individuals will not distrust a business organization.However, major companies have violated the trust of individuals and many will continue to do so in the future.

At present a South Africa based company called Coracall is out to fool customers. And readers should stay away from Coracall after reading this. See individuals might not believe us when we say to stay safe as Coracall has not as yet been caught and is still in stage one of its plan of deception.

This means that at the present moment they are still calling up individuals and acquiring information from them. But what they are not telling individuals is that whatever information is being shrewdly extracted from them is being sold to product selling companies.

Instead they are telling individuals that the information/data being obtained from them is purely for research purposes. And this is a lie. The real problem for individuals will begin once this information is sold because then the telephone of individuals is going to ring the entire day. And ultimately individuals are going to get fed up.

How do we know all this is going to happen?
Well, we can say all that we did with absolute certainty because after all Coracall is related to Phruit.Well the name Phruit itself should send shivers down the spines of readers, but for those who are unaware about its record, lets take a quick recapitulation!

Phruit Limited was just another UK based company offering services which included lead generation till about 2 years ago. It had a good name in the market, but that was not meant to last for long as the unethical practices it had indulged in were soon revealed.

What were the crimes Phruit Limited had indulged in?
Well Phruit used to make similar calls to innocent individuals, squeeze out personal information/data and state that it was merely for research purposes. In reality however, they sold it to various product selling companies for monetary gains and therefore they lied to customers as well as violated their privacy.

Once telemarketing calls started coming in, individuals felt like tearing their hair out in despair. Then a thought crossed their mind. How did their numbers and private information get leaked out when they had registered themselves on the Do Not Call lists?

A tiny seed of doubt grew and prompted them to ask the DMC to look into the dealings of Phruit.This the DMC promptly did and were shocked to find that Phruit had violated 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.

Once this was discovered Phruit had no option but to disappear from the market scene in the UK.However, they were quite quick to bounce back onto the scene in the form of Coracall.But wait how do we connect Phruit to Coracall?

Well we are going to relate one to the other by simply stating three facts:

1. Even though Coracall states it is a South African based company and operates out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal, Coracall has still retained its UK roots as its proprietor is British company Assured Capital Holdings.
2. Mr. Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall! Hence management is the same as well.
3. And lastly, the services offered by Coracall as well as the strategies employed by them are very similar to that of Phruit.

After going through these facts, it is for sure that further proof is not required against Coracall.Although agents of Coracall will be on their best behavior to prove that they are not out to deceive individuals, one must be wise enough to stay away. This is because it is only a matter of time before their true colors emerge.
If you have already received calls from Coracall, raise your voice against it immediately by complaining about Coracall at the following address:
Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,
Nottinghamshire,
NG24 1PZ.
Or they can be called up at [protected]

Emily Edison is an active campaigner against fraud companies like Coracall.Not one to keep quiet, she has highlighted how Coracall just like its predecessor Phruit will deceive individuals and hence they must do themselves a favor by staying away from Coracall.

How many times is one fortunate enough to be told in advance to stay away from a fraud company? The truth is that not always do people get this opportunity. Most of the time individuals make the mistake of trusting a company which although it appears to be genuine makes a fool of customers.

There are a number of fraud companies that are highly skilled at fooling customers. They put on such a deceptive mask that naïve individuals easily walk into their trap. In the past companies like Phruit Limited has made a fool of customers. To gain a better understanding of how they fool customers we will give you a quick recap of their actions.

Phruit Limited was a renowned UK based company until 2010 for that was the year in which the truth about it came spilling out. What agents of Phruit had done can never be forgiven. These agents called up individuals and extracted their private information from them by stating that it was for research purposes.

In reality they were lying because the information being extracted was being sold to various product selling companies who then began making constant telemarketing calls. Very soon individuals got tired of these telemarketing calls and confused as well. They were confused because they had opted for TPS registration and had their numbers registered on the Do Not Call lists as well.

So they decided to get the DMC to look into the matter. A DMC led investigation confirmed their worst doubts.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

Thus, Phruit had violated marketing guidelines as well as the privacy of customers and when this was made public, they suffered from a total loss of face. Loss of reputation as well as the trust of customers forced them to leave the business scene.

However, was this going to be the last people were to see of Phruit? The answer is no. This is because while Phruit was underground they hatched plans for a comeback. And they are now totally back in the form of Coracall.

They hope that by acquiring a new name and basing themselves in KwaZulu Natal they will be able to make a fool of individuals all over again. But the only difference is that this time individuals are being given a heads up about Coracall by demonstrating how they are related to Phruit.The following points prove that the two are indeed related:

1. British company Assured Capital Holdings is the proprietor for both Phruit as well as Coracall even though Phruit was a UK based company and Coracall functions out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal located in South Africa.
2. Management of both companies is the same because Mr. Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall.
3. Both Phruit and Coracall offer the same list of services.

The only reason why individuals walked into the trap set by Phruit is because they did not know they were frauds beforehand.However, this time they do know about what Coracall will most definitely do to them and therefore they should stay away.

No matter how much agents of Coracall convince one to trust them, individuals should not do so. And if one has already started receiving calls from Coracall then they should immediately complain against it at the following address:
Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,
Nottinghamshire,
NG24 1PZ.
Or they can be called up at [protected]

Individuals never do realize when companies are taking them for a ride, and this is because these companies are able to cover their tracks so well. Its only when its too late do individuals realize that they have been made a fool of. What would an individual not give to know beforehand that the company was out to cheat?

Such warning unfortunately does not always come before hand. And yet here we are trying to get readers on their guarding against the scheming and deceptive ways of Coracall.Coracall might still have a squeaky clean reputation at the present moment but trust us when we say that they have just begun with their plans to fool individuals.

You see right now they are merely making calls to individuals and collecting personal information/data by stating that its purely for research purposes. The truth however is totally different, the personal information being derived from individuals will be supplied to various product selling companies. This is a gross violation of the privacy of individuals as well as marketing laws.

Once product selling companies get their hands on the information, the real trouble will begin for individuals. Marketing calls will start coming in and they will get harassed all the time. Does anyone want to endure this kind of torture? Well, probably not.

And how can we be so sure that Coracall is going to indulge in the above mentioned activities? We can say so because Coracall is related to Phruit and will hence, surely follow in the same footsteps. Now comes the next question-what fraud practices did Phruit indulge in?

Phruit was a popular UK based company until 2010, when it made headlines for its illegal marketing practices. What Phruit had done is that their agents too made calls to individuals and acquired information while stating that it was merely for research purposes. Now naïve individuals saw no harm in giving out information for a noble cause like research so they readily gave out information.

However, Phruit was just obtaining the information to sell it to various product selling companies in return for financial gains. And soon individuals started getting pestered with a flow of never ending marketing calls. Then a question arose in their minds? How did these companies get a hold of their numbers when they had opted for TPS compliance and had themselves registered on the Do Not Call lists.

A hint of suspicion led individuals to launch a complaint with the DMC against Phruit.And then shocking facts tumbled out once investigations were launched. It was discovered that Phruit had violated the following norms:

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 in the market as well as the trust of individuals and had no option but to shut down in the UK.But this shutdown was only temporary as very soon they have emerged as Coracall in South Africa.

So are we making baseless accusations about Coracall? Or do we have proof to support the fact that Phruit and Coracall are one and the same? Well, ofcourse we have proof! And readers will be satisfied once with these three accurate facts:

1. Coracall may not be situated in the UK, but in South Africa instead and yet they have retained their roots in UK as their proprietor is British company Assured Capital Holdings.
2. Also Mr. Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall!
3. And the services provide by Coracall as well as the tactics employed by them bear a strong resemblance to those provided by Phruit.

So what further proof do individuals need to get smart and stay away from the clutches of Coracall! Agents of Coracall will try their level best to convince individuals that they bear no connection to Phruit and that they have no intentions to deceive. But individuals are strongly advised not to believe them. And if they have immediately started receiving calls from Coracall, then they should immediately raise their voice against Coracall by complaining at the following address:

The worst thing that can happen to an individual is that they place their trust in a company and it lets them down. And this has definitely happened to unsuspecting individuals in the past. In such cases it is not individuals who can ever be blamed because these fraud companies are very capable of scheming and manipulation.

It would have in fact been beneficial to individuals if they were warned about the true intentions of such fraud companies in advance. In the past companies like Phruit Limited have made a fool of individuals and they continue to pose a threat to individuals.

Now many individuals who are aware of Phruit’s past may claim that Phruit has long been punished for its violations and has exited the business scene.In such a scenario how can they continue to be a threat to individuals?Well, the truth is that Phruit did leave the business scene but it has re-emerged in the form of Coracall.

Yes, in the year 2010 it was discovered that Phruit had violated the following marketing 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

And how was Phruit able to do this?
Agents of Phruit called up individuals and cleverly extracted their personal information by stating that it was for research purposes. However, this was not at all true and the information being extracted was actually being sold to various product selling companies for monetary gains.

As a result of this very soon these individuals began to receive telemarketing calls from different companies all the time. This kind of harassment continued until they got fed up and decided to get authorities to look into the matter. After all they wondered how their private information was leaked out when they had opted for TPS compliance and got their numbers registered on the Do Not Call lists.

Its then that they complained to the DMC and an investigation conducted by them revealed how Phruit had violated the trust of individuals as well as marketing guidelines. So once Phruit lost the trust of its customers as well as well as its position of repute in business circles it had no option but to cease to exist.

However, you cannot really keep a deceptive company and its want to deceive individuals down forever. This is why they had already bounced back onto the business scene in the form of Coracall.Only this time they think that by acquiring a new name and operating out of a new location (South Africa), they will be able to fool individuals all over again.

Yet, no matter how hard they try to restart their act of fooling customers by donning a new mask, their connection with Phruit is evident once a little research is done. The following facts prove that Phruit and Coracall are related:

1. British company Assured Capital Holdings is the proprietor for both Phruit as well as Coracall even though Phruit was a UK based company and Coracall functions out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal located in South Africa.
2. Management of both companies is the same because Mr. Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall.
3. Both Phruit and Coracall offer the same list of services.

These facts make it very evident that Phruit is Coracall launched all over again.Hence, there is no difference between the two and individuals should therefore stay far away from Coracall.No matter how hard agents try to convince individuals of their noble intentions individuals should not walk into their trap.However, if one has already started receiving calls from Coracall then they should immediately complain about it at the following address:

Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,
Nottinghamshire,

Individuals tend to just go ahead and trust a company by taking it at its face value. Little do they realize that not everything is as it seems. Hence they should be extremely cautious when it comes to trusting a company.

Most individuals sooner or later realize that because of their naïve and trusting nature, they often end up making the mistake of trusting a deceptive company. But by then it is too late and they have already become the victims. But it’s not always individuals who can be blamed for making such silly decisions. Perhaps the situation would have been different if, they had received some sort of warning beforehand.

If they were told that a particular business was out to make a fool of them, then they would have been clever enough to stay away.However, whatever is in the past, is most definitely in the past but individuals can be warned so that in the future such mistakes are averted. At the present moment there is a company known as Coracall that is out to fool customers.

Now if we decide to judge Coracall merely by what it is projecting itself as at the present moment, it will come across as clean.However, despite their best efforts, management at Coracall cannot hide the fact that they are related to an already infamous fraud company called Phruit Limited.

Now for those readers, who are unaware of Phruit’s shady past, let’s get a closer look at it.Phruit Limited was a renowned company set up in the United Kingdom until 2010, but that’s when the truth about it came to the surface.
Agents of Phruit had violated the privacy of individuals and indulged in unethical marketing practices and when these acts were revealed their name got tarnished forever. What agents had done is that they had called up individuals and cleverly obtained personal information by them by stating that it was for research purposes. These individuals saw no harm in doing so and willingly gave out the information for research purposes.

But in reality whatever information was being obtained, was being sold to product selling companies for monetary gains. Now once these product selling companies got their hands on these details and contact information of individuals, they began to make telemarketing calls to them throughout the day.

These individuals got so harassed with these repeated calls that they decided to immediately report the matter to the DMC.After all something was fishy because how could individuals get their contact details when they had opted for TPS compliance and had their names registered on the Do Not Call lists.

Its then that they began to suspect that maybe Phruit was behind the situation.So they decided to get authorities to look into the matter.A DMC investigation revealed that Phruit had managed to violate 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.

Phruit lost its reputation in the UK as it could not prove that it was innocent. Once this news was made public and people decided to distance themselves from Phruit, they knew it was time to shut down.

But this was only temporary because all the time that they were underground, they were planning their comeback. And this they did in a new location and under a new name-Coracall.But we still have to prove how Coracall and Phruit are related to one another?
Well, we just need three points to prove how Phruit and Coracall are related:

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.

Even though these facts have now been made clear to readers so that they stay away, agents of Coracall will still want to fool customers. They will make their very best effort to convince readers that they have no such intentions against individuals.However, if they have already started receiving such calls from Coracall, then it is best to immediately complain against them.Coracall can be contacted at the following address:

Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,

Who doesn’t wish they had just some tiny bit of information that a fraudulent company was out to make them a fool. If individuals were told about the deceitful and scheming ways of a business, they would have stayed away. But no! the truth is that their isn’t always someone to sound the alarm bells.However, this time round we are going to be kind enough to tell readers just one thing: Stay away from Coracall!

Just avoid Coracall and the trap it is setting and you will be thankful later.Coracall has hatched a grand plan to fool customers and right now, they have just started with their plans as they are in the first stage. The first stage s to call up individuals and acquire personal information from them.

But because individuals are reluctant to give out personal information, Coracall agents are going to lie and say the information is for research purposes. The truth however is not so, the information that is shrewdly acquired will be sold to various product selling companies for financial gains.

Soon a flood of telemarketing calls will come in and then individuals will realize what a mistake it was to trust Coracall.One might ask how we dare make such baseless accusations against Coracall?

But the truth is our accusations are far from baseless! We have proof and it is that because Coracall and another fraud company called Coracall are related they will soon commit the same illegal acts that Phruit had.

Let’s get to know a little about Phruit?
Well for those of us who are unaware about Phruit’s past reputation, lets begin by saying that Phruit enjoyed a good name in the market until its scheming ways were discovered.

What illegal acts did Phruit indulge in?
Phruit, a UK based company until 2010 was a master of the art of deception. Agents of Phruit made calls to individuals and convinced them that they needed information from them for research purposes. Seeing no apparent harm in providing this information, the individuals willingly obliged and here they made a big blunder unknowingly!

The personal data that was acquired was sold to various product selling companies in return for money.Thus, commenced the living nightmare of non stop phone calls for individuals from telemarketers.

And then they began to wonder how their personal information had been obtained when they had opted for TPS compliance and had gotten their numbers registered on the Do Not Call lists. A little bit of suspicion deepened overtime and this led them to complain to the DMC to make investigations.

Investigations launched by the DMC found Phruit to be guilty of three violations which are as follows:

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.

Okay, so we have accused Phruit of being related to Coracall, but how can we back up our claims?
Three simple facts is all the proof one needs to be convinced

1. Despite the fact that they shifted their base to South Africa and operate out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal, Coracall have retained their roots in UK as their proprietor is British company Assured Capital Holdings.
2. Also it is worth noting 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 now do you get the complete picture? Having suffered a loss of reputation in the UK, Phruit went underground but in time they have re-emerged as Coracall and wish to get back to their old ways all over again. Agents of Coracall will try to get one to believe that they are totally innocent and have no deceitful intentions but one must stay away for their own good. If individuals have already started receiving calls from Coracall, immediately raise your voice against.

Coracall can be reached at the following address:
Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,
Nottinghamshire,
NG24 1PZ.
Or they can be called up at [protected]

Emily Edison takes it upon herself to warn individuals against suspicious companies like Coracall. She is well aware of the unethical and deceitful ways of Phruit and since they now have a sister concern called Coracall in the market, she will leave no stone unturned in keeping individuals away from them.

Coracall Coracall is equal to Phruit reloaded!!

Getting research calls from a company called Coracall and think its harmless? Well sooner or later, your going to realize how harmful it is. This is because after a certain point of time, you are surely going to receive calls from some other companies that are trying to sell you their products or services.

But, wait a minute, how are they going to have your personal information when you have opted for TPS registration, which means that your number should have never been made available in the first case.Well, its then that common sense strikes you, what if the research company leaked out your private information?

And yes, you’re totally right, Coracall most definitely did do so. But why would they do so one might ask? Well, it’s because its Phruit starting its unethical practices all over again under a new name.

What unethical practices was Phruit Limited up to?
For those of us who are still unaware about the reputation Phruit enjoys today, lets rewind back to a few years ago.Phruit Limited was a UK based company that resorted to unethical telemarketing and lead generation practices and came under fire very soon.

In fact it has been in the news since August 2010, because they apparently conducted surveys and collected information from customers ensuring security of their data but then sold it to their clients so as to help them to boost their telemarketing process.

This practice is known as “sugging” and it caused individuals a lot of difficulty, because customers were constantly flooded by marketing calls from different product selling companies throughout the day. So even customers who had availed of TPS registration were now getting targeted.
And once customers realized how they were being conned, they immediately reported the matter to the Direct Marketing Commission (DMC).After careful and thorough investigation was conducted, Phruit Limited was found to have breached the following DMA codes-

1. 21.18 and 21.20 on TPS compliance and data cleansing
2. 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 guise of research

This caused Direct Marketing Association to suspend Phruit Limited from its membership for one year.DMC followed suit and various other trade bodies, Information Commissions Office also launched investigations against it.

But what proof do we have that Phruit Limited and Coracall are related?

Well for starters, Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall!So indirectly Coracall is a sister concern of Phruit or in other words it is just a new name assumed by Phruit Limited to fool customers.

So what risk does Coracall pose to customers?

Well, being a sister concern of the infamous Phruit Limited, it is only a matter of time before it treads down the same part. Just because it is a brand new company, there is no surety that it won’t play the same old tricks that Phruit Limited played.

And Coracall is surely going to convince you that they are conducting purely research based surveys. But for your own peace of mind you are being ensured to stay away from Coracall.If you have already started receiving such calls from Coracall, take immediate action and put an end to this kind of breach of privacy.

Coracall can be reached at the following address:

Coracall Phruit has disappeared but beware Coracall is here!

No one is a stranger to marketing calls right? Phones keep on ringing throughout the day with telemarketers pestering individuals to buy a number of products or services. Most of what is offered is similar to one another and useless to the customers.

So what do individuals do to stop this? Ah! yes they opt for TPS and get themselves registered in the Do Not Call lists. Yet in the UK despite being on the Do Not Call lists a number of customers started receiving telemarketing calls from out of the blue.

But how did this happen? How and when was their privacy breached and private data leaked. Careful examination and investigations revealed that the reason for all this annoyance to customers was because of Phruit Limited.

Before this matter came to light, Phruit Limited had a good reputation of being one of the best companies in the UK.However, what Phruit started doing is that they started making calls to customers and cleverly extracting personal details, stating that it was for research purposes.

Once this information had been extracted they shrewdly sold it to many product selling companies. These companies then started making an unlimited number of calls to customers and harassing them continuously.

What Phruit Limited thus indulged in is known as “sugging” and it is a totally unethical and illegal. Being a member of Direct Marketing Association, they were well aware of the norms and guidelines laid down to ensure that direct marketing is fair and yet they deviated from it.

Three very popular norms of DMC that were openly violated by Phruit are as follows:

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 disguise of research

What happened then is that Phruit got completely banned from the DMA and their reputation went for a complete toss. They lost their ground in the UK as all UK residents became aware of their malpractices. But it seems like the brains behind Phruit just refuses to fade into oblivion and hence they have shifted to South Africa, where they are now known as Coracall.

How can we say that Phruit and Coracall are related?
Well the Director of Phruit Limited-Mr. Phil Lightfoot is the chief executive director of Coracall.Although they maybe operating out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal located in South Africa, their proprietor is British company Assured Capital Holdings

So when did Coracall first come under suspicion?
People first started suspecting Coracall when they started offering innumerable services and started adopting tactics that were similar to Phruit Limited. Some amount of searching revealed that Phruit had switched bases, changed names and reappeared as Coracall.

But the sad fact is that not many individuals are away of this over smart plan that Phruit Limited has come up with to deceive customers once again.UK customers have endured immense torture at the hands of Phruit and therefore, readers located elsewhere should be made aware of the unethical ways that Coracall is sure to adopt before they are subjected to torture themselves.

Being a sister concern of Phruit it is just a matter of time before Coracall reveals its true colors.However, if they already have tried to contact you, put an immediate end to this harassment and raise your voice against breach of privacy.

Coracall can be contacted at the following address:

Coracall Coracall retains Phruit's unethical practices

Two years ago Phruit Limited hit the headlines in the UK.It was because of their unethical practices and for violation of privacy.Overnight, thousands of UK citizens became well acquainted with this treacherous company that sold their customers information to some product selling companies so as to earn some extra cash.

What Phruit engaged in is called “sugging”, and it is both unethical as well as illegal.Phruit used to acquire personal information of customers, under the guise of conducting marketing surveys. This information was then collected and sold to various product selling companies that began harassing the customers on a daily basis.

This meant that even those customers, who had applied for TPS registration and had their numbers as a part of the Do Not Call List, now began to receive calls from telemarketers. And surely but certainly customers began to realize what was up. So they made complaints to the Direct Marketing Commission which took immediate and stringent action against them after conducting an investigation.

They were stripped of their membership for a year and the DMA declared that they would be considered for brand new membership only if they could prove their innocence.However, they could not prove that they were not guilty as they were found to be violating the following three rules:

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 allegations were brought forth and they were found to be guilty, Phruit Limited lost their ground in the UK.So they went underground and after some time have again raised their ugly head in the form of Coracall.When Coracall first started making calls and offering services no one suspected anything but as their popularity grew, suspicion grew in people’s mind. Proper investigation threw up some interesting facts.

But how can we be sure that Coracall and Phruit are related?
Well, we can definitely say so because Coracall is rendering the same services that Phruit used to.They have decided to switch their location to South Africa and acquired a call center in Kwazulu Natal from where they have commenced business operations.

After suffering from embarrassment in the UK, they surely shifted their customer base and yet have retained their roots in UK as their proprietor is British company Assured Capital Holdings. Further proof is that Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall!

So no matter how much Coracall might convince customers that its calls are only for research purposes, sooner or later their true colors are going to emerge.They are definitely a sister concern and just because they have switched their business to a South African base there is no guarantee that they will not resort to their older ways.Plus, it is worth noting that because Coracall is providing the same services, they may easily resort to the same tactics.

UK customers have already gone through hell thanks to Phruit, so this warning is to ensure that other customers that they do not fall prey to Coracall’s tactics. If however, this warning comes too late and customers have already started receiving such calls from Coracall, then waste no further time and immediately raise your voice against them.

Coracall can be reached at the following address:

Coracall History is about to repeat itself with Coracall

Once it is revealed that a particular company is a fraud, individuals are clever enough to stay away from it. But what happens if despite its true nature being revealed the company attempts yet again to fool individuals?

Can this happen? And does this happen? Well, ofcourse it has happened in the past and will surely happen again because Coracall is now on the business scene. Many individuals do not know this but Coracall shares its roots with Phruit and is therefore sure to follow its actions.

Phruit Limited is a company that can never again be trusted and a company that is related to it should be kept at arms distance. In order to know what Phruit had indulged in, we are going to have to take a look into its past.

Phruit Limited was a UK based company that came into the limelight in 2010, when its true nature was revealed. It was revealed that Phruit had committed 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

Agents of Phruit had called up individuals and extracted their private information from them by stating it was for research purposes. But the truth was that it was sold to various product selling companies that promptly began to call up individuals and harass them with offers about products/services.

This got individuals angry as well as confused. They were confused because they wondered how their private information had been leaked out when they had opted for TPS compliance and had their numbers registered on the Do Not Call lists. They decided to immediately get the DMC to look into the matter and a DMC investigation revealed the three violations that Phruit had committed.

So after these facts became public the business world was shocked and so were customers.Phruit lost its reputation and so it was time for it to say goodbye but this was not meant to last for long because while underground they planned their comeback.

And this comeback has been in the form of Coracall.Since Coracall is set up in South Africa and operates out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal it is hoped that individuals will not be able top understand the similarity between Phruit and Coracall.However, we need to provide just three points to prove that the two are related:

1. British company Assured Capital Holdings is the proprietor for both Phruit as well as Coracall even though Phruit was a UK based company and Coracall functions out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal located in South Africa.
2. Management of both companies is the same because Mr. Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall.
3. Both Phruit and Coracall offer the same list of services.

Hence, it’s very apparent to individuals that Phruit has re-launched itself in the form of Coracall and therefore they should be clever enough to stay away. No matter how much agents of Coracall try to win over the trust of individuals, it’s important that they stay away. If they have already been receiving calls from Coracall then they should immediately complain against it at the following address:

Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,
Nottinghamshire,
NG24 1PZ.
Or they can be called up at [protected]

Emily Edison keeps a firm lookout on companies such as Phruit because she does not wish that individuals get fooled. Since they are now back in the form of Coracall she is more adamant than ever to keep individuals away.

They decided to immediately get the DMC to look into the matter and a DMC investigation revealed the three violations that Phruit had committed.

So after these facts became public the business world was shocked and so were customers.Phruit lost its reputation and so it was time for it to say goodbye but this was not meant to last for long because while underground they planned their comeback.

And this comeback has been in the form of Coracall.Since Coracall is set up in South Africa and operates out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal it is hoped that individuals will not be able top understand the similarity between Phruit and Coracall.However, we need to provide just three points to prove that the two are related:

1. British company Assured Capital Holdings is the proprietor for both Phruit as well as Coracall even though Phruit was a UK based company and Coracall functions out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal located in South Africa.
2. Management of both companies is the same because Mr. Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall.
3. Both Phruit and Coracall offer the same list of services.

Hence, it’s very apparent to individuals that Phruit has re-launched itself in the form of Coracall and therefore they should be clever enough to stay away. No matter how much agents of Coracall try to win over the trust of individuals, it’s important that they stay away. If they have already been receiving calls from Coracall then they should immediately complain against it at the following address:

Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,
Nottinghamshire,
NG24 1PZ.
Or they can be called up at [protected]

Emily Edison keeps a firm lookout on companies such as Phruit because she does not wish that individuals get fooled. Since they are now back in the form of Coracall she is more adamant than ever to keep individuals away.

Coracall Don't let Coracall take you for a ride

How individuals wish if someone had just been there to save them from the clutches of a fraud company! Sadly it’s not always that one is going to be warned beforehand but if one is he/she should take heed of the warning.

You see if one is aware about the deceptive ways of a business organization he can stay away from it. Coracall is one such company which at the present moment is spinning a web of deception and individuals must be kept away from them at all costs.

So in what way is Coracall planning on fooling customers?
Well, Coracall is going to win the trust of the customers and then betray it. Their plan begins with calling up innocent individuals and acquiring personal information from them by stating it is for research purposes. Individuals tend to be innocent and trusting by nature so they do not conduct any background research on companies that make such calls. Once this information is given out Coracall will sell it to various product selling companies and thus, starts the real trouble for customers.

Very soon marketing calls are going to disrupt the lives of customers’ non stop. Individuals are going to feel like pulling out their hair and not know how their information got leaked out in the first place. Little are they going to know that it was Coracall which after acquiring this information sold it to various product selling companies for financial gains.

But based on what proof are we making these audacious claims?
Well we know that Coracall is going to do so because it will surely follow the same path as its predecessor.

Now wait, a minute how are we talking about Phruit now! What deceptive acts did Phruit indulge in?
Just like Coracall is projecting itself to be a very straight forward company, Phruit too enjoyed a good reputation in UK right up till 2010 and that’s when the truth got out. Phruit also used to call up individuals and stated that they needed some information and personal details of theirs for research purposes. Once the information was acquired they went right ahead and sold it to product selling companies in return for money. In a short span of time, the marketing calls began pouring in.

At first individuals were bewildered about how their numbers got out when they had opted for TPS registration and had themselves registered on the Do Not Call lists. A hint of suspicion turned into a big doubt, individuals went to the DMC and complained against Phruit.The DMC was kind enough to immediately launch investigations against Phruit and they found it to be 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.

Phruit lost its reputation and the trust of customers after these shocking allegations were made. And had no option but to shut down and go underground. Soon however, their zest to make customers a fool all over again returned and they have now re-launched themselves as Coracall.
But on what grounds can we prove that Coracall and Phruit are related?

1. Despite the fact that they shifted their base to South Africa, they have retained their roots in UK as their proprietor is British company Assured Capital Holdings.
2. Further proof is that 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 tactics employed by them are very similar to that of Phruit.

Agents of Coracall will be on their very best behavior to convince individuals about their noble and straight forward intentions.However, its best to stay away from Coracall because they have devious plans which individuals must never get fooled into. If one has already started receiving calls from Coracall, its time to complain against them at the following address:

Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,
Nottinghamshire,
NG24 1PZ.
Or they can be called up at [protected]

Emily Edison is always out to seek justice against fraud companies like Coracall. She is well aware of the deceptive ways of Phruit and since they are back as Coracall, she will try her very best to make readers aware and keep them away.

Coracall Phruit has woken up from its slumber

People tend to be innocent by nature and when companies take advantage of that innocence they can rightly be called fraud companies. Individuals cannot have their guard up on a 24/7 basis, sometimes they may make the mistake of trusting a company that is out to fool them.

Its not individuals who can be blamed for being so trusting and naive, its just that these fraud companies are really good at doing what they do best-making a fool of people. If maybe individuals had some kind of warning they would have stayed safe, however this does not always happen. But it is wise to note that a company called Coracall is presently out to fool customers.

They are in what can be called the first phase of deception-they have merely started making calls to individuals right now. So one might ask, what harm can some calls possibly do? Well Coracall is making these calls to individuals and claiming that they need to acquire information for research purposes. This is where they are lying to customers.

Once this personal information is collected from individuals, it will be sold by Coracall to various product selling companies. And then the real trouble begins for telemarketing companies because soon they are going to start receiving non stop telemarketing calls.

But how can we make such baseless accusations against company called Coracall?
Well firstly our allegations are not baseless.Coracall will resort to such shameless and unethical marketing practices because they are related to Phruit which is a proven fraud company.

How can we prove that Phruit and Coracall share anything in common?
One can easily see the obvious connection between Phruit and Coracall by observing the following points:

1. Although Coracall is based in South Africa and operates out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal, they have retained their roots in UK as their proprietor is British company Assured Capital Holdings.
2. Further proof is that Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall!
3. And thirdly Coracall offers exactly the same services as Phruit used to.
So now will one still refuse to accept that they are one and the same? No obviously not.

But more importantly what unlawful acts did Phruit Limited commit?
Well Phruit was a UK based company that enjoyed a good reputation until 2010.And then their ghastly acts were revealed. Phruit is guilty of committing all that Coracall will surely indulge in.

They lied when they called up and acquired personal information of customers stating that it was for research purposes when I reality they sold for monetary gains. This illegal practice is known as “sugging” and is a violation of individuals’ privacy as well as direct marketing norms.

Suspicion against Coracall grew when individuals began to wonder how they were reached despite having opted for TPS compliance and having had their numbers registered on the Do Not Call lists. It took just one suspicious customer to realize what Phruit was up to and to launch a complaint with the Direct Marketing Commission which launched an immediate investigation and found that Phruit had violated the following norms:

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

So once these unethical acts of Phruit were discovered, they were forced to bow their heads in shame and disappear. But this disappearance was not meant to last for long. This is because Phruit soon recovered and now have restarted business operations from a call center in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.

Agents of Coracall will try their very best to convince customers that they are not like Phruit and have noble intentions.However, if individuals trust Corcall even after being informed they will have to face the music. If one has already started receiving calls from Coracall, put an end to the nonsense once and for all by complaining against them at the following address:

Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,
Nottinghamshire,
NG24 1PZ.
Or they can be called up at [protected]

Emily Edison has a no nonsense attitude when it comes to fraud companies like Coracall.She will never sit quiet and will always make individuals aware of their illegal practices so that these companies can be put out once and for all.

Coracall Once a fraud always a fraud!

Once a business organization realizes that it can get away with fooling customers it is going to do so again and again. There is really no putting a stop to such a business and it cruel intentions towards customers. Putting an end to a fraudulent company is merely temporary because once put out it regains strength and then raises it ugly head again.

And Coracall is one such company that is out again to trick innocent individuals and when they do individuals are so going to wish they hadn’t put their trust in such a business organization. The sad part is that although Coracall has already embarked upon its journey to fool customers, many are not aware of its plans.

So let’s reveal what Coracall intends to do. Well right now Coracall is taking what we term as taking “baby steps” into fooling individuals. They are already making calls to individuals and stating that the information they are acquiring is merely for research purposes. Individuals are surely going to see no harm in letting out this information and this is where they are making a huge mistake.

This is because this personal information that is acquired is soon going to be sold to various product selling companies for financial gains and then the real trouble is going to begin. Very soon they are going to be receiving calls all the time from these companies who are trying to push across products/services to them. And its then that individuals are going to be pulling their hair out.

How do we know that this is going to occur?
Well this is exactly what Phruit did so why should Coracall refrain from doing so considering the fact that both are related.

What illegal practices did Phruit indulge in, in the past?
Well until 2010 Phruit enjoyed a really good reputation in the UK.But then things changed and why exactly did things changes? Well it because Phruit was a fraud company. They also called up individuals and acquired personal information from them using research purposes as an excuse. And once this information was acquired they sold it to various product selling companies in return for money.

Now individuals first got suspicious when they wondered how their numbers got leaked out after they had opted for TPS registration and had got themselves listed on the Do Not Call lists. All suspicion seemed to be pointing towards Phruit.And this suspicion turned out to be true once an angered customers filed a complaint with the DMC.

Investigations were launched by the DMC to reveal 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.

Once Phruit was found to be guilty of these violating the DMC stripped it off its membership for a year.Phruit could not prove its innocence and thus it lost its reputation. Faced with intense embarrassment it had no option but to shut down in the UK and this is where the story should have ended but no it did not.
It very soon shifted its base to South Africa and started operating out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal. But how can we so firmly state that Coracall and Phruit are related? What proof do we have to back up our claims? Well three facts are all that is required to link the two:

1. Although they shifted their base to South Africa, they have retained their roots in UK as their proprietor is British company Assured Capital Holdings.
2. Further proof is that Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall!
3. And thirdly Coracall offers exactly the same services as Phruit used to.

Agents at Coracall will try their very best to convince individuals that they will never even dare to deceive them. But if individuals believe them even after being warned then the fault is entirely there’s because Coracall will deceive individuals sooner or later.However, if they have already started receiving calls from Coracall action must immediately be taken against them.Coracall can be reached at :

Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,
Nottinghamshire,
NG24 1PZ.
Or they can be called up at [protected]

Emily Edison will never sit quietly while unethical lead generation companies go about flouting rules and fooling customers. She has clearly revealed the illegal practices that Coracall is sure to indulge in and is warning individuals to stay away.

Coracall The last thing to do is trust Coracall!

Trust is all important and no matter how sweet or pleasant agents of a business might seem one must never trust them without conducting a proper background check up. But isn’t it hard for individuals to conduct such a check and a total waste of time as well?

Well not judging the reputation of a business organization will definitely be a huge price to pay when individuals realize that their privacy has been violated.Luckily, most individuals reading this article do not have to conduct a research to know that Coracall is a fraud company.

Coracall is a company that is located in South Africa and operates out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal. Readers might how what threat does Coracall pose to them?
Well Coracall is most likely to follow in the footsteps of Phruit Limited, so what it is going to do is its agents are going to call up innocent individuals and ask them for information about stating that it’s purely for research purposes.

Because customers are naïve and trusting, they will see no harm in giving out personal information for research purposes and will gladly do so. Thinking that they have done a helpful deed individuals will have a smile on their faces.

But their smiles will disappear soon after when various product selling companies will start calling them up non stop. And it will in fact be Coracall that has sold the private information as well as contact details to product selling companies in return for financial gain.

But how can we be so sure that Coracall will indulge in such an unethical and unlawful marketing practice?
Well of course one can expect Coracall to do such a thing because after all didn’t Phruit do the same?
Yes, Phruit Limited was a UK based company that existed until 2010.Phruit enjoyed a good reputation in the market, until their ghastly acts were revealed. Phruit had in fact committed all that Coracall will most likely indulge in.

They did contact and acquire personal information of customers by lying i.e., by stating the information was only going to be used for research purposes when I reality they sold it in return for money. This illegal practice is known as “sugging” and is a violation of individuals’ privacy as well as direct marketing norms

Individuals first grew suspicious when they wondered how they were reached despite having opted for TPS compliance and have their numbers registered on the Do Not Call lists. It took just one suspicious customer to realize what Phruit was up to and to launch a complaint with the Direct Marketing Commission which launched an immediate investigation and found Phruit to be 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

But how can we connect Coracall to Phuit? What proof do we have to make this statement?
Well three facts mentioned below are all we need to link Coracall and Phruit:

1. Although they shifted their base to South Africa, they have retained their roots in UK as their proprietor is British company Assured Capital Holdings.
2. Further proof is that Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall!
3. And thirdly Coracall offers exactly the same services as Phruit used to.

Now agents at Coracall will try their very best to convince individuals that they are a brand new entity and have no such intentions to deceive.However, individuals should be on their guard because they have been warned. If one has already received calls from Coracall then they must immediately make a complaint by contacting them at the following address:

Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,
Nottinghamshire,
NG24 1PZ.

Coracall Don't fall victim to the ploys of Coracall

If a fraud company wishes to deceive naïve individuals it can easily do so. After all fraud companies do not come with a warning sign. Sometimes individuals wish they were aware of the true intentions of a particular company, maybe then they would not have fallen prey to it.

Customers would be relieved if they were able to identify a fraud company and stay away from it. One such company that is presently out to fool customers is Coracall.Coracall is a company based in South Africa that operates out of call center based in KwaZulu Natal.

But how could Coracall harm customers?

Well Caracalla will contact individuals and claim that they want some private information/data of theirs for research purposes. Unsuspecting customers will willingly oblige and it is here that they will be making a blunder. Because Coracall will soon sell their information to various product selling companies and from here on the real nightmare will begin.

Soon individuals will be harassed by a number of marketing calls from various product selling companies at all times. Even those customers who had opted for TPS compliance and have their numbers registered on the Do Not Call lists will be harassed. And why will this happen?

Well it’s simple, it’s because the individuals themselves gave out their personal information! But these individuals are clearly the victims out here. They agreed to give out private information for research purposes and not for marketing purposes.Therefore, their trust was violated as well as marketing norms were broken.

What makes us believe Coracall will do this?

Well we are sure this is precisely what Coracall is going to indulge in because they are Phruit born all over again.

Well, wait a minute what did Phruit Limited do?
Phruit Limited was a UK based company that existed up until 2010 because that was the year their illegal and unethical marketing practices came to light. Phruit indulged in what is termed as “sugging”.This means that they obtained personal information of customers stating it was for research purposes and then sold it to various product selling companies for monetary gains.

Consumer complaints and investigations launched by the DMC revealed that Phruit had violated 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

Phruit lost its credibility as well as the trust of its customers following this revelation and went underground ‘apparently”. But while they were underground they planned their comeback strategy and changed locations to South Africa as well as acquired a new name-Coracall and are now back on the market scene.

How can we connect Phruit to Coracall, what proof could we possibly have?

Phruit is owned by a British company called Assured Capital Holdings and Mr. Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the chief executive officer of Coracall.And what cannot be missed is that Coracall offers services that bear a striking similarity to those offered by Phruit.

Agents of Coracall will state that they haven’t yet indulged in such activities nor do they intend to.However, what guarantee is there that Coracall with their direct link to Phruit will not engage in similar illegal practices.It’s always better to be on one’s guard than to get fooled because one is unaware.However, if one has already received calls from Coracall then they should not sit quietly but should immediately raise their voice against Coracall.

Coracall can be contacted at the following address:

Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,
Nottinghamshire,
NG24 1PZ.
Or they can be called up at [protected]

Emily Edison will not let a fraud company like Coracall to fool innocent individuals. She is against illegal practices and thus wishes to save customers from the clutches of Coracall as it is Phruit that has taken on a new mask to trick innocent customers all over again.

Coracall Phruit's got a never say die attitude towards deceiving customers

Some companies will never change, cut them down in one way and they will simply re-emerge in other. It’s hard to keep customers away from such companies because they will simply keep changing form as they push ahead with their goal to deceive customers.

Yet individuals do deserve to be warned about the intentions of a deceptive company beforehand. They deserve to know which company is on its rounds to make a fool out of them. A company that is presently out to fool customers is known as Coracall.And guess what, it is Phruit that is functioning under a new name all over again.

Yes, if individuals think that Phruit disappeared forever in 2017, then they are wrong because they are very much back on the market scene and intend to stay.However, individuals should stay away from them lest they get caught up in its web of deception.

For those readers who are unaware of the past of Phruit and therefore the threat that Coracall poses to individuals, let’s take a close look at Phruit’s infamous past.Phruit was a well known company in the United Kingdom until 2017 and that’s when the truth about it came spilling out.Phruit indulged in unethical marketing acts and grossly violated the privacy of individuals. How did they do so? Well, their agents called up customers and began to extract personal information from them but stated that they were doing so only for research purposes and this is where they lied. In actuality, the information that was sold to various product selling companies and this resulted in a flood of phone calls to the homes of the concerned individuals.

They got harassed by these product selling companies the entire day and night and wondered how on earth did their contact details reach these companies in the first place? This they wondered because they had opted for TPS compliance and had their numbers registered on the Do Not Call lists. So in spite of taking these measures, how did their number slip out? They began to think hard about this and realized that maybe Phruit Limited, the so-called market research company was behind this situation that they were in.

And so they decided to get the authorities to look into the matter. A DMC investigation helped the ugly truth about Phruit to be discovered. It was revealed that Phruit had violated 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.

When the masses as well as the business world came to know about these facts they were totally shocked and they lost their trust in Phruit who had no option but to shut down.However, this was only a temporary move as they made plans of a comeback while they were underground and have now emerged as Coracall.

But how can we say with such certainty that Phruit and Coracall are related?
We can easily prove that the two are related by stating just three reasons:

1. Phruit had to disappear from the market scene in the UK, but it was not long before they shifted to South Africa, assumed a new name-Coracall and began functioning out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal, and yet a little research will help one understand that their proprietor is one and the same-British company Assured Capital Holdings.
2. Also it’s interesting to note that management is the same for both companies 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 since Phruit is accessing customers via a different name now, their motives are still the same ie, to fool customers. So individuals have to stay away from Coracall no matter how much agents try to convince them that their intentions are good.However, if Coracall has already called them up then its time to put an end to this nonsense at once by contacting them at the following address:
Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,
Nottinghamshire,
NG24 1PZ.
Or they can be called up at [protected]

Emily Edison is an active protestor against the exploits of deceptive companies like Coracall.She has urged individuals to stay away from it since it shares its roots with the deceptive company called Phruit Limited.

There is a reason behind why individuals are wary of companies that offer products/services to them. The reason is that these companies have often deceived them in some way or the other. Individuals can never be too certain about what the true intentions of a company are, especially without research. The problem is that not all individuals get to do research on a particular company.

Sometimes even a reputed company as can be observed in the case of Phruit Limited, is possible of deceiving customers.Phruit, was a UK based company that enjoyed a good reputation till it was discovered that it had indulged in unethical marketing practices and violated the privacy of individuals as well. According to the DMC led investigation, Phruit was found to be 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

But how did Phruit begin with this process of fooling individuals and how did they get caught?
Agents of Phruit began with this deceptive process by calling up individuals and claiming that they needed their personal details for research purposes. Naive individuals gave out details because they saw no harm in doing so and thought that it was for a good purpose.However, they were being lied to by agents of Phruit as the information retrieved was being sold to various product selling companies.

Once these companies got their hands on the information, the lives of individuals became a living hell. This was because the phone kept ringing non stop and they got bombarded with calls for products/services. Its then that individuals first got suspicious and began to wonder how their personal information had reached these telemarketing companies.

These individuals had opted for TPS compliance and had gotten themselves registered on the Do Not Call lists, so how on earth did their numbers slip out? They began to think back and all suspicion began pointing towards Phruit, so they decided to get Phruit to look into the matter. Once the revelations of the DMC about Phruit were made public it lost its reputation and was forced to shut down.

But what good use is it to talk about Phruit now? Well it is of immense use because Phruit did not disappear from the business scene completely rather it planned a comeback carefully and has already re-emerged today in the form of Coracall.
Coracall is a company which today may not come across as deceptive at all, but the truth is that since it shares its roots with Phruit one should stay away from it. To prove how Phruit and Coracall are related, we will state three points:

1. After Phruit shut down in the UK, they were quick enough to shift to South Africa, and began functioning out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal under the name Coracall, but a little research will help one understand that their proprietor is one and the same-British company Assured Capital Holdings.
2. Also it can easily be understood that management is the same for both companies because Mr. Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall!
3. And thirdly the services offered by Coracall as well as the strategies used by them while handling campaigns are very similar to those used by Phruit.

Individuals should therefore understand that they are being asked to stay away from Coracall for their own good and that it is sure to follow in the footsteps of Phruit.No matter how much agents convince individuals, they should stay away. If however, they have already started receiving calls from Coracall they should immediately put an end to this nonsense by complaining at the following address:

Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,
Nottinghamshire,
NG24 1PZ.

Shaun Aster is not one to sit quietly as a company like Coracall starts spinning its web of deception around individuals. This can be said with utmost certainty as it is related to the fraud company Phruit Limited which in the past has already made a fool of individuals.

Is it okay to be an naïve and innocent individual in today’s world? No of course not! With so many fraudulent business companies around it is wise to keep one’s defenses up at all times. Fraud companies are always on the lookout to fool innocent individuals and one such company that is spreading its trap at the present moment is Coracall.

Yes, yes we know agents at Coracall have convinced you that the information they are acquiring is purely for research purposes. In fact they are such masters at the art of deception that one would be convinced, they couldn’t be harmful at all.

However, this is just stage1 of their deception. Once individuals make the mistake of trusting them and giving out information, begins the next step of the deception game. The next step involves selling this personal information and data to various product selling companies for financial gains.

And this is when the trouble breaks out. Very soon individuals get harassed as various product selling companies start calling up at all times trying to make sales. When the phone keeps ringing its going to be disturbing and trust me the phone is going to keep ringing a lot once these product selling companies get a hold of your number.

How are we so sure Coracall is going to commit all that we have accused it of?
Well to begin with we can safely say that Coracall will follow the same route as its predecessor Phruit Limited did. But wait a second what wrong acts did Phruit indulge in? Well it wasn’t too long ago that Phruit was found to be guilty of indulging in various illegal practices. The year was 2017 and people realize how Phruit, which had till then been a reputed company in the UK, was terribly deceiving them.

Phruit had called up UK residents and even way back then they had cleverly acquired personal details and information of customers by stating that it was for research purposes. But then they sold this personal information to various product selling companies and the real fun began.

Individuals were constantly disturbed as the phone kept ringing and they felt like they were losing their mind. They were surprised as they couldn’t figure out how they were being contacted when they had opted for TPS compliance and had their numbers registered on the Do Not Call lists.

A hint of suspicion prompted these individuals to complain to the DMC and they immediately launched an investigation against Phruit.It was discovered that Phruit had violated 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

Once Phruit lost their reputation, they had to immediately exit the business scene and this caused them to go underground for sometime and then relocate to South Africa.

But then again how can we so confidently state that Phruit and Coracall are related?

Well three points that prove both these companies are related should put non believers to rest:

1. Despite the fact that they shifted their base to South Africa, they have retained their roots in UK as their proprietor is British company Assured Capital Holdings.
2. Further proof is that Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall!
3. And thirdly Coracall offers exactly the same services as Phruit used to.

Even though Coracall is now operating out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa their intentions will obviously be the same as that of Phruit.Agents of Coracall will put on their best show to prove how innocent they are. However if you have already started receiving calls from Coracall put down your foot at once. Make a complaint against Coracall at the following address of theirs:
Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,
Nottinghamshire,
NG24 1PZ.
Or they can be called up at [protected]

Emily Edison cannot be expected to stay silent while unethical lead generation companies go about fooling consumers. She has clearly unmasked the true intentions of Coracall so that innocent individuals do not fall into its carefully set trap.

It’s not surprising that many companies use individuals for their own selfish gains. After all what they are interested in is profits and individuals are merely a means to get those profits. It’s for this purpose that they make elaborate plans to deceive individuals.

In the past a number of fraud companies have totally fooled individuals and will continue to do so. In the year 2017 it was truly shocking when people came to know about Phruit Limited making a fool of individuals because Phruit had until then enjoyed a good reputation in the market.

Phruit totally violated the privacy of individuals as well as marketing guidelines and for that it will never be forgiven by individuals. What agents of Phruit had done is that they called up individuals and stated that their private information was needed for research. Individuals saw no harm in contributing towards research and hence they freely gave out information.

However, they were lied to because the information obtained was sold to a number of product selling companies. Soon their phones began to ring of their hooks nonstop as these companies began to make telemarketing calls. Tired and distressed because of these calls they decided to report the matter to the DMC.

This is because they wanted to know how their personal details had been revealed when they had opted for TPS compliance and had their numbers registered on the Do Not Call lists. A DMC led investigation found Phruit 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

And once this was made public knowledge individuals went far away from Phruit leaving it with no choice but to exit the business scene.But one can never really keep down a company that is driven by a crazy need to make a buck even if it includes the use of unlawful practices.

So Phruit decided to re-launch itself in the form of Corcall hoping that by basing themselves in South Africa and operating out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal they would avoid all suspicion.

However, it’s not fair for individuals to be made a fool by the same company twice over and hence we would like to inform individuals how the two are related. It takes just three facts to understand the similarity between Phruit and Coracall:

1. British company Assured Capital Holdings is the proprietor for both Phruit as well as Coracall even though Phruit was a UK based company and Coracall functions out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal located in South Africa.
2. Management of both companies is the same because Mr. Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall.
3. Both Phruit and Coracall offer the same list of services.

Since it’s very clear now that Coracall is just Phruit launched all over again, individuals should realize that they are equally rotten and stay away. No matter how much individuals are convinced to trust Coracall they should keep it at an arms distance. If they have already started receiving calls from Coracall, then its time to complain against it at the following address:

Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,
Nottinghamshire,
NG24 1PZ.
Or they can be called up at [protected]

Emily Edison is always on the lookout for fraud companies like Phruit and since she is aware that it is related to Coracall she is determined to not let individuals be made a fool of all over again.

Coracall Don't get yourself involved with Phruit

Companies have risen and fallen with the passing of time. But have you ever considered the fact that some companies have brought about their own downfall. This is because instead of walking the regular path, they decided to fool customers. Once their deceptive ways were discovered they had to face the dire consequences.

A number of companies have made headlines for their infamous acts of deception, but that is only after it is too late. It is too late for individuals because they have already placed their trust in the company and have discovered its truth once their privacy was already violated.

If perhaps there was some way of knowing beforehand what the company was upto, then maybe this situation could have been avoided. Informing individuals in advance about a company helps them to take better steps to safeguard themselves against it.

One such company out to fool customers is Coracall, even though it does not appear so at the present moment. We do know that Coracall will fool customers because it is related to the fraud company Phruit Limited. Phruit was a renowned company in the UK until 2010, but then the truth about it spilled out. Agents of Phruit used to call up individuals, extract personal details from them by stating that it was for research purposes when in reality they sold the information to various product selling companies.

Thus, they lied to individuals and violated their trust as well as privacy. After that individuals kept getting non stop telemarketing calls from various companies. Fed up they decided to get the DMC to look into the matter. A DMC led investigation shockingly revealed that it was Phruit to blame for this situation.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.

Phruit soon lost its reputation in the UK and was forced to go underground but it was not long before they re-emerged in the form of Coracall.How can we be so sure that Phruit and Coracall are the same?Well, we need to present just 3 facts to prove that the two are related:

1. Phruit disappeared from the market scene in the UK, but it was not long before they shifted to South Africa, assumed a new identity in the form of Coracall and began functioning out of a call center in KwaZulu Natal, however a little bit of looking into their background helps us realize that their proprietor is one and the same-British company Assured Capital Holdings.
2. Mr. Phil Lightfoot, the director of Phruit Limited is the Chief Executive Officer for Coracall which proves that the management of both companies is the same!
3. And the services offered by Coracall as well as the tactics employed by them are very similar to that of Phruit.

Thus, it’s fairly clear that Coracall being related to Phruit is sure to follow in its footsteps. No matter how much agents of Coracall try to get individuals to trust Coracall, they should stay away.If, however, one has already started receiving calls from Coracall they should put an end to this nonsense by complaining against it at the following address:

Barnby House,
Barnby Gate,
Newark,
Nottinghamshire,
NG24 1PZ.
Or they can be called up at [protected]

Emily Edison is an active protestor against fraud companies like Coracall. She has proven to us that Coracall is related to another fraud company called Phruit Limited hoping that individuals will take this as a red flag and stay away from it.
