Employees of so-called "offices" engaged in fraud and preying on Ukrainians' money can receive both a fixed salary and a percentage of the amount they manage to "close" a client for. This was stated by a former participant of such a system in an interview with blogger Eva Korshyk, as reported by UNN.
Details
According to the interviewee, as a "cold caller," he had a salary of about $500 per month. In addition, he was paid about 8% of the so-called "closure" — the amount that was obtained from the client after passing them further down the scheme.
We had a salary of about $500 per month. And I received about 8% from the closure
As the man explained, the actual income depended on the results for a specific month. There were periods when he failed to "close" any clients, and there were months when he passed on two or three people, and at least one of them was brought to the point of being willing to pay a large sum in foreign currency.
Thus, once a person was "scammed" out of 1 million in hryvnia equivalent. In such a case, the "cold caller" could receive about $800 in interest plus a fixed salary. On average, this could give an "office" employee about $1300 per month.
At the same time, Korshyk's interlocutor claims that in some cases, the amounts were significantly larger. According to him, there were instances when a client was "closed" for 10 million UAH, which he estimated at approximately $100,000.
Separately, he described how the work of a "closer" — a person who directly works with a prepared client — was paid. On average, a "closer" received 15%. If two such people worked in one scheme, this percentage was divided between them.
In total, about 30% of the amount within the scheme could go to the work of those responsible for "opening" and "closing." At the same time, this money could also be distributed among several people involved at different stages.
The man also said that the next step in the internal hierarchy was the level of a senior "closer."
The next stage is that you could be a senior closer, monitor closers, manage, come up with new pitches for them, new schemes
However, the interlocutor could not name the exact percentages for this level, as, according to him, he himself did not reach such a rank. He only noted that this was already the level of "top" or "top management" within the "office."
At the same time, he confirmed: the earnings of "office" employees were based on a combination of a small basic salary and a percentage of the amount obtained from the victim. The highest incomes, according to him, were received by those who worked at the final stage of the scheme or controlled the work of other participants.
