How does someone in the USA makes an Indian telco disable their customer SIM or phone line? Should they just assume that the caller from America is telling the truth and drop a customer? Should Indian police detain people based on a complaint from someone from a foreign county?
India is a sovereign nation, I guess the victim of the scam can seek justice at the Indian courts bu that's probably not easy or cheap too.
Thee things are usually matter of international cooperation, likely wouldn't work if a scammer from France is scamming someone in Germany or scammer from Canada is scamming someone from the USA.

- mrtksn 5y agoI find it very unlikely that a Telco will voluntarily do the police work. These things are probably part of some international treaties and doing it legally will be hard, even if they do it and block a telco from one of the worlds most populous country the scammers can simply change SIM cards and use a new operator. The scam calls are probably very, very small percentage of the call volume. Why would a telco start international dispute, deny calls for their legitimate customers? What's more likely is that the US and India sign some kind of cooperation for fighting crimes and scammers being dealt with by the Indian authorities upon request by the US ones.
