Busting phone scammers: Police raids shine light on overseas call centres (Marketplace)

Marketplace journalists got exclusive access to an undercover RCMP investigation into major scam calls that have bilked Canadians of millions of dollars. For two years, we have zeroed in on scammers in Indian call centres targeting Canadians: posing as CRA tax agents, tech support workers or impersonating police and other government officials. Many of you have come forward with stories of being contacted by these scammers and asked why authorities can’t do more to stop these schemes. We’ve always wondered: Are there accomplices in Canada?

On WhatsApp for example there are hundreds of cases where people pretending to be their son/daughter or parent needs money right now for some reason. 9/10 times this scam fails, but the very few times it does work is enough for these scammers to make money.

Once one scammer gets caught, another one comes along. Unfortunately, these “people” have something going for them: our fears and, in some cases, naïveté. They exploit those fears and naïveté, and they get rich with them. Kudos to Marketplace for exposing this booming business, so to speak. We need to know about it before more people get taken for a ride.

I think it has something to do with the international laws and jurisdiction issues. Saw this in one of the interviews about this topic, as in the Indian police cannot take action against these guys if no official complaint is registered. And a complaint from a foreign land should come thru interpol or some "official channel". It's the similar case where a lot of high-profile criminals from India get refuge in London, and the Indian police has to go thru international agencies to reach them, as the local UK police refuses to recognise them as criminals, as no crime was committed locally.
