This is Jaimini from Calgary Canada. I got a call from Ajay Sharma of connect2world Calling Card Company. He called me three times every day for the past five days, finally he begged for a $10 for which he promised to give 1000 Minutes, after I gave the card information I got a mail from [email protected] & [email protected] that my Card has been charged for $13 and the Service is Activated.
I also got few mails from [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected]

First of all, $10 was for the service is 1000 Minutes, which was supposed to be the actual cost however there was a $3 hidden service charge which was not disclosed by Ajay Sharma.

Secondly, the very next day my Card was again charged for another $200.

There after whenever I call the Toll free Customer Care Number: CAN- 1-780-800-2364 No one receives my call. I have send mails to all the above mentioned mail ids, but till now I have not received a single reply.

It makes me feel worse that I have been Robbed by my own Countrymen. Ajay Sharma said that he is from Delhi and presently he was calling me from Bhopal.

My Dear Friends, Please be careful with connect2world, there website is www.connect2world.net and there so called customer care numbers are:
USA- 1-714-464-740o
CAN- 1-780-800-2364
AUS- 61-2-9191-6392
NZ - 64-9-887-5088

After thanks giving day, I will go for a chargeback with my card company and sue Connect2World in the court of law in Calgary, Canada.

Hi my Self Prasant. I was in USA for 2 years now i am in India. I started using long-distance from Connect2world 8months back and i singed up with it for $50 but the Representative and company charged my visa card for $200. OK no problem with it at-least i was getting service. but few month later my study was complete and i came back to India. I still have a balance of $125 in my Connect2world Account. when i called the customer care(maksud) and asked for the Refund of my left credit the next person just hangup the call and i still didn't got my credit back. the Representative told me that i can get my money back but now they never answer my call. Now i am in India and working here. these people did a fraud to me first they charge my card for more amount and now not ready to pay my money back. Connent2world is a fraud company they not even done only to me but also to my fallow-mates which where there with me.

We have been Getting several Telemarketing Calls from Connect2world from India, they keep calling and calling day and night.

Finally, we signed up for $20 with my Visa card. They Promised that they will activate my service within 10 mins of time. It has been more than 25 Days, my service is not activated.

Moreover, today when i received my card statement, I was a bit shocked to see a $200 Charge by connect2world.

Now, when I called the customer care number: 1-714-464-7400, no one picked the call. I was more Surprised when a Person by the name of Maksud Received the Call and said that the order was placed for $200 by me. When I said no, he started Arguing with me and later he started abusing me in very bad words.

Finally, he said that he will block my service and make sure that I do not get my Money Back.


For my uttermost Surprise, I also had a talk with the Call Center owner and he was just laughing his hearts out.


I just want to aware all the Indians in USA and Canada, that please do not entertain any telemarketing calls from connect2world as this is my experience with them.

I have nothing more to say apart from making a complain to BBB and lets see what else I can do to them.

I did refer my friends to Maksud, I also need to check what He has done to my Friends.

Connect2world is a Fraud Company, so please beware of Scams.
