most of the people doing scam calls there are from wealthy and/or well connected family
most of the time the cops in india will make a big show of arresting them, but the scammers are released shortly after

The people doing the calls are overwhelmingly impoverished, but the people running the centers are absolutely wealthy and connected.

The people doing the calls are overwhelmingly impoverished,
not always, but even in the cases where it is like that, these scumbags know what they’re doing, they know they’re trying to steal from people through fraud. Several of my family members with dementia were scammed repeatedly by the same scammers
you know what else? scammers share information about their victims with other scammers, usually through facebook groups, whatapp and/or telegram
and when they’re first setting up RD on the victim’s PC, they set up several of them, including ConnectWise.

The only reason the menace is can’t be weed out because both local politicians and cops get their cut from these type of Business. So, if you shut down one, 4 more open up next day.
India has a huge pool of English speaking educated young people with no access to decent paying jobs after college. These scam centers offer them easy money.
