A number of India-based call centers and their directors have been indicted for their alleged role in placing tens of millions of scam calls aimed at defrauding thousands of American consumers. The calls led to reported losses of over $20 million from May 2015 to June 2020.

The fraudsters also masqueraded as people working for lending institutions and told victims they were eligible for fictitious loans.”]
