“They call it academic help. I call it organized blackmail — and it’s destroying lives.”
Killing Kids! Scammers Leading American Children to Commit Suicide Cloud Innovators Solution: Zeeshan Baber, Kamil Baber, Kamal Babar, and EazyResearch.com Pakistan.
This is an explosive investigation that will expose Pakistani scammers killing American kids through organized blackmail and extortion. My work on this investigation will lead to raids and arrests in Pakistan. Possibly the extradition of Pakistani murderers to America.
Every day, students in America hand over hundreds of dollars to strangers in Karachi who remotely take control of their laptops to help them cheat through exams. Every day, PhD candidates in Europe wire thousands of dollars to companies that promise to get their research published in research journals. And every day, scared students (some in high school) receive threatening messages from the very same companies they paid to write their dissertations: pay more, or we tell your school, your friends and your family you cheated. For students on visas, the threat goes further – it’s not just their degree at stake, but their right to remain in the country.
This is the world of RSP fraud which is leading to many American students who are in their teens and twenties to being blackmailed for thousands of dollars and leaving them with little other choice as far as they know than to commit suicide. The industry encompasses essay mills that write assignments for students, exam-taking services that remotely control computers to impersonate test-takers, ghostwriting outfits that fabricate entire theses, and predatory research publication services (commonly known as RSP operations in Pakistan, RSP standing for research paper) that promise to place bogus papers in reputable journals for a large fee.
The RSP industry in Pakistan is staggering. The contract cheating market exploded during COVID-19, with providers based in Pakistan offering discounts to capitalize on the mass shift to remote exams. Today, a Google search for “do my online exam for me” returns thousands of results… And at the very top of the results you’ll find many websites owned by the same Pakistani family, the Baber family of Karachi who run one of the most prolific RSP fraud organizations that have ever been investigated and documented, running a company called Cloud Innovators Solution (CIS) based out of Suite-903, 9th Floor, Park Avenue Building, Shahrah-e-Faisal, Service Rd S, P.E.C.H.S Block 2 Karachi, 75400, Pakistan. The criminal organization is now setting up new front companies such as ALT-DELTA DATALYTICS to launder the money from the scams.

For the students who use these services, the dangers are more immediate than they expect. Several victims families have reached out to me and provided evidence of being blackmailed by Cloud Innovators Solution (CIS), which pretend to be based in the US or the UK.
But exam cheating is only one side of the industry. The other is journal publishing. Predatory and fraudulent journals charge authors fees while providing little or no legitimate peer review, publishing substandard or entirely fabricated research. This corrupts the scientific record, can endanger public health when fake medical research enters circulation, and traps early-career academics in a cycle of paying for worthless publications.
The exam cheating and blackmail pipeline is dangerous enough but Cloud Innovators Solution is also engaging in academic paper writing fraud on an industrial scale, publishing fake scientific papers on behalf of shameless unscrupulous authors.
This is the world that brands like journalpublicationhouse.com, scopusjournalservices.com, phdjournalpublication.com, and webofsciencejournals.org — all linked to the Cloud Innovators Solution network — operate in. These websites promise researchers placement in Scopus-indexed and Web of Science journals for a fee. The brand names themselves are designed to invoke the authority of legitimate scientific databases — Scopus (owned by Elsevier) and Web of Science (owned by Clarivate) — creating confusion among researchers who may believe they are dealing with an official service.
The business model relies on a pipeline: either the operation has relationships with compromised editors at real journals (the bribery model), or it places papers in their own journals that provide no genuine review but carry the superficial markers of legitimacy (the predatory journal model), or it runs its own pseudo-journals that exist solely to collect fees and produce publication credits (the outright fraud model). In all three cases, the researcher pays, gets a line on their CV, and the scientific record gets a little more polluted.
A source familiar with the Cloud Innovators Solution operation confirmed that RSP — research, publication, and Scopus placement services — is one of the company’s active business lines, alongside its contract cheating and e-book publishing verticals. One client using the network’s “Web of Science” branded service paid $35,000 and then was blackmailed for hundreds of thousands more with the threat of exposure.
How Axact Wrote the Playbook for Pakistan’s Academic Fraud Industry
To understand why Pakistanis are blackmailing and leading American children to suicide, to get to the core of why firms like Cloud Innovators Solution came to exist, you have to understand Axact. Axact, a Karachi-based company founded in 1997, was exposed by the New York Times in May 2015 as the operator of at least 370 fake university and accreditation websites. The company had approximately 2,000 employees working in shifts to keep the operation running around the clock. Sales agents impersonated American educational officials, used U.S. phone numbers, and pressured victims — primarily in the Middle East and the United States — into purchasing fraudulent diplomas for prices ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands of dollars. The scope was enormous. Axact reportedly sold over 200,000 fake degrees in Gulf countries alone. One victim, a medical technologist in the UAE, spent $60,000 on 18 fraudulent degrees over three years. When she tried to stop, an Axact agent impersonating a UAE embassy official called her and demanded an additional $70,000, threatening legal action. Pakistan’s Chief Justice called the scandal “a national shame.” CEO Shoaib Ahmed Shaikh and 22 associates were eventually convicted and sentenced to prison, though the investigation stretched over years and was marred by allegations that Shaikh had bribed a judge to secure an earlier acquittal.
But Axact’s most damaging legacy was not the degrees it sold. In addition to fake degrees, Axact was also a prolific provider of RSP and exam cheating services. Axact also birthed a generation of super predators like Salman Yousuf, Schergeil Parvez, Naveed Saghir and many others who have taken the Axact fraud and blackmail pipeline and supercharged it, establishing their own multi-million dollar fraudulent enterprises that operate in America, Dubai and Pakistan.
A 2021 investigation by World Trademark Review found that former Axact employees had scattered across Karachi and established their own fraud operations. As one expert told the publication, Axact had essentially “pioneered the art of trademark fraud” — and its alumni were applying the same playbook to new domains: ghostwriting, essay mills, logo scams, web design fraud, and contract cheating. Pakistan’s combination of a large, English-speaking, tech-savvy young population; widespread unemployment among educated graduates; and weak regulatory enforcement created the perfect conditions for a cottage industry to metastasize into an industrial-scale operation.

Zeeshan Baber sent this image to a married woman who works for him, his attempt at flirting. The employee wanted to quit her job owing to the sexual harassment.
The template was proven. Build a web of anonymous-looking branded websites. Target students and academics in the US, UK, and Gulf states. Operate call centers with American or British phone numbers. Collect payment through Stripe, Payoneer, Wise and other channels established in the name of “merchants” who have been flown into the UK, America and other countries. And when regulators catch up, simply rebrand and continue.
Cloud Innovators Solution and the Babar Crime Family:
This brings us to Cloud Innovators Solution (CIS), a Karachi-based operation that, according to evidence reviewed for this article, represents one of the largest RSP American student blackmail operations I’ve ever come across.
Cloud Innovators Solution is registered at Suite 903, 9th Floor, Park Avenue Building, Shahrah-e-Faisal, PECHS Block 2, Karachi. It is run by Zeeshan Baber, Kamil Baber, and Kamal Babar — two brothers and a cousin who, according to sources with direct knowledge of the operation, have built an extensive network of interconnected websites, corporate entities, and brand names spanning contract cheating, exam-taking services, ghostwriting, e-book publishing, and fraudulent research publication services. Not only do they blackmail American children they also withhold wages from their Pakistani employees and sexually harass female employees. See image of a naked selfie Zeeshan Baber sent to a married female employee over WhatsApp.
The operation runs multiple fraud and blackmail verticals simultaneously.
Contract Cheating and Exam-Taking Services: Dozens of websites offering to take students’ online exams, complete their coursework, and write their assignments. These include brands such as yourclasstakers.com, expertclassdoers.com, domyonlineclassus.com, takesmyclass.com, bypassmyexam.com, onlineclasshelpfast.com, and many others. Several of these sites share phone numbers (including US-based numbers), suggesting centralized operations behind the different brand fronts.
Ghostwriting and Assignment Mills: An array of essay writing and dissertation services targeting students in the UK, US, UAE, Australia, and New Zealand. Brands include expertwritinghelp.com, eazyresearch.com, britishacademicsexperts.co.uk, and numerous country-specific variations.
Fraudulent Research Publication (RSP): Services that promise researchers placement in Scopus-indexed and Web of Science journals — for a fee. Brands associated with this vertical include journalpublicationhouse.com, scopusjournalservices.com, phdjournalpublication.com, and webofsciencejournals.org.
E-Book Publishing and Vanity Press: Brands mimicking or evoking major publishers, such as barnesandnoblepublishings.com, kindledirectpublishings.com, nationalbookpublisherinc.com, and googlebookpublisher.com.
The Corporate Web
What makes the Babar operation particularly notable is the trail of UK-registered companies that maps directly onto the family. UK Companies House records — which are public — reveal a network of corporate entities in which the same family members appear repeatedly as directors:
- Eazy Research Limited (Company No. 13018125) — Directors listed as Mumtaz Babar and Zeeshan Baber. This entity directly corresponds to the eazyresearch.com brand, one of the operation’s contract cheating websites. eazyresearch.com extorted and blackmailed multiple students who have attempted suicide.
- Brooks School of Scholars Ltd (Company No. 14717705) — Directors listed as Arman Babar, Kamal Babar, and Zeeshan Baber.
- Alt-Delta Datalytics Ltd (Company No. 14701978) — Directors listed as Kamal Babar and Zeeshan Baber.
- Square Box View Limited (Company No. 14910171) — Directors listed as Mumtaz Babar and Kamal Babar.
- Intellect Data Consultant Limited (Company No. 14733421) — Directors listed as Arman Babar and Zeeshan Baber.
- Ideal Grove Ltd (Company No. 14914031) — Directors listed as Zeeshan Baber and Arman Babar.
- Scopus Journal Services Ltd (Company No. 16383594) — Director listed as Zeeshan Baber. The name directly mirrors the scopusjournalservices.com brand.
- Content Majestic Ltd (Company No. 12767365) — Directors listed as Hanadi Kamal, Imran Altaf, and Syed Fahad Amjad. The corresponding website contentmajestic.com appears in the network’s brand list.
- ALT-DELTA DATALYTICS LTD (Company number 14701978)
- Alt Delta Datalytics Co.
Additional entities registered to associated individuals include Eccentric One Ltd, Visionary Alpha Ltd, Geeknetic Ltd, and Precision Digital Publisher Ltd — several of which list “Anum Zeeshan” or “Hanadi Kamal” as directors, names that sources say correspond to family members of the core operators.
The registered address for several of these entities is 7 Ingleby Gardens, Chigwell, England, IG7 6EH.

The Misspelled Name
A noteworthy detail: UK company filings alternate between the spellings “Babar” and “Baber”. According to a source familiar with the operation, this discrepancy is deliberate — the brothers maintain variations of their family name across different documents to create separation between entities and to facilitate international travel.
Scale of the Operation
The sheer number of shell companies and web properties is itself revealing. The network encompasses well over 100 distinct website brands across multiple countries and domains (.com, .co.uk, .us, .ae, .ca, .co.nz, .pk, .ie, and others). Many of these websites share phone numbers and design elements, and several have been identified running Google Ads campaigns under the same accounts. This is not an operation that accidentally grew large. It is a systematically constructed empire designed to capture every possible variation of the academic fraud market across the English-speaking world and the Gulf states.
The Babar family’s Cloud Innovators Solution, operating from a high-rise office on Shahrah-e-Faisal in Karachi, running over 100 branded websites across multiple continents, with UK-registered corporate entities bearing the family name — represents the industrialization of academic fraud in the post-Axact era. And until the international community develops serious cross-border enforcement mechanisms, these operations will continue to grow.

Ebook: Vanity Book Publishing: Author Fraud and Investment Fraud
Beyond exam cheating, blackmail, and fraudulent journal placement, Cloud Innovators Solution operates another highly profitable scam, the vanity book publishing fraud. Through brands like barnesandnoblepublishings.com, kindledirectpublishings.com, googlebookpublisher.com, and londonbookpublishing.co.uk, the network impersonates or deliberately evokes major publishing houses Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing, Barnes & Noble, Google Books, and others to lure aspiring authors into a carefully staged trap with escalating payments.
The scam follows a consistent playbook. A prospective author, often a first-time self-publisher, finds one of the network’s websites and inquires about publishing services. A sales agent typically using an American or British phone number signs the client up and promises premium marketing, distribution through major retailers, and returns of 300% or more on the money invested in promotional packages. The packages themselves can run from a few hundred to several thousand dollars (this is securities fraud).
But the real extraction begins after the initial sale. Once the author has paid for publishing and marketing services, they receive a follow-up call informing them that royalty payments have accumulated and are waiting to be disbursed. There’s just one catch: the author must first pay a processing fee, tax compliance fee, or account activation charge before the funds can be released. The royalties, of course, do not exist. The book, if it was published at all, was dumped onto a print-on-demand platform with no meaningful marketing behind it. Each time the author pays a fee to “unlock” their earnings, a new obstacle materializes requiring another payment. The cycle continues until the victim either runs out of money or realizes the operation is fraudulent.
It is an advance-fee fraud and it is remarkably effective. The victims are often people who have poured years of effort into a manuscript and are emotionally invested in seeing it succeed, making them particularly vulnerable to the promise that their book is already generating income. The brand names do the heavy lifting: a website called “kindledirectpublishings.com” carries an implicit endorsement from Amazon that Amazon never gave, and many victims don’t realize until far too late that they were never dealing with a legitimate publisher at all.
Part 2 of this investigation will be coming soon outlining more damning evidence of the Babar crime family and its many victims in America.
Disclaimer: How This Investigation Was Conducted
This investigation relies entirely on OSINT — Open Source Intelligence — meaning every claim made here is based on publicly available records, archived web pages, corporate filings, domain data, social media activity, and open blockchain transactions. No private data, hacking, or unlawful access methods were used. OSINT is a powerful and ethical tool for exposing scams without violating privacy laws or overstepping legal boundaries.
