Indian Scammers Revisited
Posted on 3/25/25 at 3:24 pm

So, I addressed this some time ago but, hey, why not again?
Since I get so many of these calls at this point, I've taken to going ahead and answering them and, to say that I'm not very kind would be an understatement. If I happen to not be busy, I've learned to milk the frick out of the call until I finally deliver something like hoping their whole family dies in a fire.
It occurs to me based on sheer volume, that there must be thousands if not 10s of thousands of people...........primarily in New Delhi doing this shite for a living and it obviously works on enough old people to justify the effort.
Tell me why I shouldn't view this as an indictment of Indians on the whole? Clearly, on top of all of the callers, their are hosts of people from family members to simply the locals that know they basically steal from helpless people.
I used to generally like Indian people but frankly, I'm revisiting this general belief.

So because call centers, based In India Are full of scammers you want to loath Indians as a whole. You think they don’t try to get every aging individual regardless of race? I have a friend whose mother is Colombian and father is Indian. The Father was trying to call Dell support and instead of going through Dell’s website just googled Dell support and the 1st contact listed turned out to be an India Call center scam number. His mother had called him frantically and he convinced his father to hang up.but he had already withdrawn $900 and deposited into bitcoin. His was now filled with malware and he had to get it removed by a shop.

One thing Trump could do is lean on Modi to stop it

I didn't claim it to be reasonable. That said, clearly, there is cultural acceptance of the behavior on such a wide scale.

Yeah. I've seen a few of those. But frankly, they aren't satisfying. I'd rather just see the whole building fall down on these people..............HOPEFULLY, on family day.

Can't fix stupid. If it's a red dot Indian on the other end of the line, assume it's a scam. You would think legit Indians would want to fix it more than anyone.

I've said before, but the politicians that solves this would never lose another election. Someone needs to make this their number 1 issue.
If Trump made an EO stopping this and threatened to send fricking Seal teams into any foreign country to take out the telemarketers, he would be a national hero.

No judgment, but It's more acceptable in their culture.

But, shite. Don't we have any cyber warfare capabilities that could address these pieces of shite?

Is there a compelling argument in there somewhere? Garbage post.

Let me introduce you to the United States Congress before we nuke India.

They stopped CP for the most part or ran it to the dark web for the tor users. They could protect our elderly much more than they do but the ACLU & the SPLC would advocate for the spammers who prolly were getting USAID funding.

You're not going to find anyone here that is sympathetic to scammers. They suck and if you want some free entertainment go check out Scammer Payback on YouTube. Making sweeping generalizations is silly, though.

But, THEIR CITIZENS DO KNOW that they are the worldwide pariah in this area and THEIR GOVERNMENT not only doesn't do anything about it but frankly, seems complicit.
