Indian Scam Call Center Owner Arrested After BBC Investigation.

A vigilante hacked into the CCTV for the call center and provided a video recording to the BBC who alerted Indian authorities.

I believe this is the link to the channel of the fellow who did the hacking on this case - Interesting stuff, I have been following Jim Browning for a while now, along with a couple of other scam busters.

The pity is, when these scammers are released the next day from jail by their police friends, and never face any further jail time, we'll never see or hear that story.

From what I have read, those friends among the police and courts are of the store-bought variety. And yes, that seriously sucks.

Do you have proof of crooked cops or is this just your suspicion?

Many Indian cops take bribes....FACT. All you need to do is read and BAM...there's your proof.

You know they are only going to wind up back out on the streets and back at scamming. The Authorities have given us a clue already when they made this Statement:

Quote:

Indian police say it is a difficult crime to prosecute because all of the victims are overseas, and they need evidence from victims in order to bring charges.

The Evidence is right there on the criminal's computers!

Even if they didn't have cops in their pockets, other articles are indicating that the company was making upwards of $4 million dollars a year for the last handful of years. With that kind of money, you can fight pretty much anything short of a murder charge into the ground.

If you have watched any of Browning's clips, he provides backup stories and personal insights as he lives/works in India.  Also, see Mike's link.

So we hope. The criminals are highly motivated to "lose" all their records as the shadow of law enforcement nears. That was a frustrating factor in a recent TCPA class settlement ... names escape me now. When possible the domestic attorneys on both sides like to have phone records from both ends of the line, call center and victims.

Footnote from the big hoo-hah DoJ raid of fake tax debt call centers in Thane 3.2 years ago: "The police raids found little in the way of documentation, beyond some training materials. Another former worker said this was likely because call center managers stopped employees from bringing pens and phones to work." This suggests that the smarter frauds strive to limit their paperwork footprint. Or as a chef once taught me, "Clean as you go is the sign of a pro".

Not that I'm excusing South Asian authorities in their feeble policing of cross-border fraud. If they finally got serious about the problem, we'd see a news story twice a week about some office raid in Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Lahore, or Rawalpindi.

Agree with you 100%! Some people are serious scumbags.

I love J Browning and others tracking and taking these call centers down. It's a massive job. I heard the Indian people hate that this stuff is tainting their country, and I also heard these scammers are highly respected in India. They make lots of $$. Can't have it both ways. Beware.

Tom Smith with an Indian accent just called me. I heard tons of voices in the background, they were Susie and Betty and Joey and Jim. Blah

So you dredged up an old thread simply to make a really, really off topic post?  Maybe you failed reading and/or reading comprehension in school?  You did go to school didn't you?
