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.
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.
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.
So… After raiding 76 locations, they only got 32 phones? Like… they only found one phone in every two places that they raided? And they only got 48 laptops? Those are the kind of numbers that I would expect for one single location.
It kind of sounds like 75 of the locations were tipped off by corrupt local officials in advance.
A lot of the scammer call center calls were likely made on dumb landline phones, not smart phones.
I’m more surprised that they only grabbed 48 computers.
I hope John from Microsoft is ok. He is supposed to call me back about fixing my computer.
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
