It looks like people are reading my recipes to manufacture gray routes, and promptly invented a stand alone business to do this. This is the "proposal" we received today from a company calling itself a FAS provider:
To whom it may concern,
My name is Alex and I would like to share with you the service that we invented to allow you to make use of False Answer Supervision, commonly known as FAS.
It is possible to generate up to 20-22% additional profit by mixing fake FAS calls into your existing traffic. The description of how it is made can be found on our web-site. It is easier to understand the benefits by following this example:
- Imagine that you have a route processing 10,000 calls per day.
- The ASR of the route is 38%, the ACD is 4 minutes.
- Thus, the total billable minutes of the route are 15,200 minutes.
- The cost of the destination is 10 cents, out of which your markup (as of a transit carrier) around 0.5 cents.
- Thus, the total turnover of this route is 1520 USD per day.
- The total profit is 76 USD per day.
Adding 1000 fake FAS calls to your route (with the intent to substitute failed calls with fake FAS calls) will turn the ACD to 3.2 minutes, the ASR to 48%, the turnover to 1536 USD, the profit 92 USD.
The technical side of that can be done with the help of our service.
Cheers ☺
Sincerely yours, Alex.
