      Hemant Varshney's Review Sourced from Google

      I highly reccomend that you stay away from this business. After numerous phone emails I finally decided to hop on a call with this company. They didn't know what they were soliciting me for. After that the sales rep sent me a very derogatory email in hindi. Please see attached. Basically cursing at me. I am not sure how these people are in business. Stay away.
