Around 76 locations were raided in India as part of a crackdown on phony tech support scam calls::Microsoft and Amazon are teaming up with law enforcement and India’s Central Bureau of Investigation to combat tech support scam calls.
Good. If India wants to consider themselves a more modern country they need to clean that shit up. They literally prey on the rest of the fucking globe, assholes.
Also, fuck India, that country has some of the worst devs but the hiring rates by countries in the US are insane. Oh and they also feel they have the right to perform assassinations in other countries, they’re buddy buddy with Russia, and no woman is safe there.
Seriously fuck that country. I have lots of friends from India both there and in the states and they echo a lot of these similar things. Damn shame.

It’s a simple calculation. If you pay well, the quality of the workers are gonna be good. If you pay them shit, even for a 3rd world country standards ofc they are gonna be shit.
The ones who get paid (like software devs in faang), ofc they are good at what they do since they are filtered properly and the pay is good. On the other hand, if you take someone from witch, they aren’t filtered properly and hired in mass and they pay is the shittiest and they are the kind of dev you complain about.
I will happily introduce you hundreds of terrible American engineers that stumbled out of a short boot camp and into a 6 figure salary.
Just because your company decided to contract with a shitty company like Wipro or whatever, that doesn’t mean India has bad engineers. It means your company hired a trash firm. That’s it. There are shit firms all over the world.
Does this mean kitboga is out of business :(
Just want to mention Pierogi as well in case anyone reading this haven’t heard of these people and want to check out channels where they troll these call centers
This is the best summary I could come up with:
India has been cracking down on tech support scammers in an effort to “combat and dismantle” finance-related cyber crime, officials announced on Thursday.
Now, Amazon and Microsoft are teaming up with CBI and international law enforcement in an effort to cut down on the calls.
Law enforcement seized 32 phones, 48 laptops and hard discs, and 33 SIM cards and froze several bank accounts amid the raid of the 76 locations, according to CBI.
The FBI estimates that in 2022, over 32,000 people were targeted by tech and customer support scams, with over $800 million in losses.
Ensuring that you and your loved ones are aware of the warning signs of a scam call or phishing email or text can help them avoid being tricked into handing away sensitive information.
He also said that pop-up messages from reputable companies won’t include a phone number that you need to call to get help.

76 down, ten thousand more to go.
Oh, well that’s right around 80! Which is around 85! Which is around 90! Keep going with this until we hit 10,000
I’m so glad they got them all.
I have noticed less calls recently, awesome!
