Way to go cherry picking - "paid bribe or influence peddling" even if we take reliability of such a data at its face value. Did you read your own source?
But who am I kidding right. Certainly US & UK is bastion of corruption free conduct by public officials/politicians. A majority of our public leaders gets enough money from companies that - climate change has been debunked as a problem.
Corruption in a developed world and developing country is very different. In India - a street cop makes $200-$300/month, his corruption involves taking 20 Rupees($0.3) from an Autorickshaw that should have been carrying 3 passengers and carries 5. You don't see this kind of corruption in US for obvious reasons. This is the kind of corruption most Indians deal with in daily life - yeah it is not great but this is something country has to live with until country figures out a way to deal with it.
What worries me more is - corruption in upper echelons of power. People who can do real damage. Someone paid someone to plant a hoax about WMDs in Iraq and a country is on brink of destruction. Enough politicians are on NRA payroll that - guns will be sold to anyone.
But I digress - I don't see how corruption of public officials in India led to this scam call center. It sounds like - bunch of people got greedy and decided to make some quick money. It can happen anywhere - look at Wall Street, Uber, Well Fargo..
