Indian scam call centres looted over $10 billion in 11 months from US senior citizens this year

Data from the US FBI showed that US citizens have lost more than $10 billion to call centres running scams. These call centres operate as startups or fake customer service call centres and offer tech help to unsuspecting victims, who get scammed into sharing their personal details or worse, access to credit cards or bank accounts. Some of these scammers have even tried to get their hands dirty with romance-related phishing scams.
