India has a deep corruption problem. There's a real incentive to make money off scams and the government is giving a blind eye. A guy infiltrated some of the scam companies, who where all in India, using their remote desktop software against them and got feeds of all the webcams and microphones in the building. Multiple reports to police and most companies still runnning to this day.
- iKevinShah 6y agowow. Which story was this? Would love to read about this.

- dncornholio 6y agoIt's Jim Browning: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBNG0osIBAprVcZZ3ic84vw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBNG0osIBAprVcZZ3ic84vw I don't remember exactly what video it was, but he even has recordings of meetings from management of one of the scam companies You can tell he is a true hacker and has a real passion to do the right thing. I'd recommend his channel to anyone
- modi15 6y agoAll countries have a deep corruption problem. Do you have any data to suggest that India's problem is bigger than others ?
- dncornholio 6y agoA huge part of the scam market is directly traceable to India. It's even part of it's culture and society is what I was trying to say.
- rramadass 6y ago>It's even part of it's culture and society is what I was trying to say Wow; this is an atrocious and racist statement if i have ever seen one. You ought to be banned.
- dncornholio 6y agoI don't say every Indian is a scammer but what I'm saying that if someone needs a job real badly, it's easy to pick to work for a scamming company because the government enables them. How you turn this into me being racist is just something I chose to ignore to keep it civil.
- modi15 6y agoAll of these scamming companies are subcontracted to by Americans. The employees there are just poor people manning phone desks - as long as it is wihtin the law they are not doing anything wrong. The Americans who subcontract to them are the ones who are representing the culture of scamming.
- srean 6y agoSource ?
- modi15 6y agoI have been to one of these scam call centres. The workers there are just paid per 'lead'. They read off a script and the if the person at the other end agrees to part with the information, then they add the information to the form and get paid for it. This is standard call centre marketing and ton of legit businesses do it also. From an operators point of view it is hard to figure out if the scheme is a scam or not. Call centers are getting paid per 'lead' - irrespective of what the business makes out of it - legal or not.
- srean 6y agoSo the 'source' is some modi15 and does not even establish the claim that these are American operations. Got it.
