The thing is, it's not an Australian company - indeed, it has absolutely no connection with Australia other than;

1. The VoIP 1800 'phone number (which goes directly to India) and

2. the bogusly-named domain pcltechnologyaustralia.com, which is actually registered to;

Registrant Name: pranay handa
Registrant Street: Plot No. 21, Electronic City Sector-18, Electronic City
Registrant City: gurgaon
Registrant State/Province: Haryana
Registrant Postal Code: 122001
Registrant Country: IN
Registrant Phone: +91.9717792548

received same..

He is Indian and spamming on behalf of an Australian company. What I understood, he is collecting leads for the Aussie company.

Jennifer Morrison Business Development Manager PCL Technology (actually located in India) wants to improve my website and enhance my google presence. Fat chance when I do not have a website - more junk email

Get the same web site regularly.
It is a hoot
Some one who will enhance our web presence can not themselves top of a search and appear way down below of of the negative posts about them
Then again you don't need an IQ above 2 to work a computer and Andy Hodge ( new name on the end of that phone ) number proves it

I received an email from these people today, deleted it $4,500 for an annual subscription !! PCL technology

Caller: dave.benton @ pcltechnologyaustralia.com

Hi just wanted to let you know, we received and email from PCL Technology regarding our website. We do not have a website. Not sure what it is about - but take care. I am deleting the email.

As the website they claim to have done the SEO audit on is in fact iinet's then I suspect their final line "PS: I have studied your website, prepared an audit report and believe I can help with your business promotion. If you still want us to not contact you, ask to remove and I will not contact again." is also far from true.

I have not lost money but should I sned them money it would consider it lost.

Caller: Scammer/Spammers from India

I wouldn't trust them. When I called the Australian number, I get a guy in Indian. He said the call was forwarded to him because the Australian office is busy. Fact is, there is no Australian Office. There is no Sharon Chisholm who sent me the email. When I asked for her direct number, he said he isn't authorised to give it out, but can organise a callback. Yeah, right - from Indian.

He ended up hanging up on me since I called him out on his scams and all the negative google results about the company.

Scum.

Caller: Indian , Called himself Glenn Hughes

Hi there,

We’d like to inform you a very important issue regarding your website which is the reason why you are losing lots of traffic.
Your website is great in terms of design and content. However, it doesn’t follow Search Engine Guidelines. So, it has a very low visibility in search results.
We’ve done a thorough SEO audit of your website, and found that it has a big potential to generate more revenue than what it might be earning at the present. And yes, we have generated a report for the same as well.
We’d be glad to share the SEO audit report with you so that you can check it yourself and find out what should be done to make it SEO friendly.
If my proposal sound's interesting for your business goal, feel free to email me, or can provide me with your phone number and the best time to call you. I am also available for an online meeting to present you this SEO audit and keywords recommendation report.

Regards,
Glenn Hughes

At the end of the day SPAMMERS!
And not only that you pay money and they actually using your site for sending SPAM email. You can be on BLACK LIST (your site)

So many complaints about this not being an Australian company.
Has anyone actually lost any money dealing with these people?
Australian prices are just so outrageous to service web sites and for the price they quoted to fix all the errors on my web site it is probably worth losing some money just to see what they fix and if I end up on the first page of Google.
Would love to hear from anyone who has lost money in this alleged scam.

Got email spam with this number on it. Just the usual SEO spam, no company name was given BUT there was a lovely 'PS I'm not spamming I actually looked at your website' at the bottom. HAHAHA

Got same time of message from The guy pretending from Singapore :)) name Alex Tan - he nearly got me, thank to you guys

spammers and scammers. don't deal with them.

Sick of these idiots pretending to be Aussies based in Australia. They are just trying to rip off hardworking Australians under the guise of being locally based website developers. Darren Lee is the name they put forward....but what is the bet it is more like Sanjit something?

Hope you are fine.
I was going through your website and I found it impressive!!! However, when I search for your business keywords I see your competitors ranked on 1st page whereas I am unable to see your website anywhere on the 1st page of Google.

You being not ranked there on top; you are missing out on all those easy prospects who have been searching for your products/services aggressively.

80% of users never scroll past the first page of search results.

Don’t you think you should rank on 1st page of Google so as your prospects can easily land on your website, put an enquiry and you can contact them for business?
