Fake call center busted in Delhi, India

The Delhi Police in India disclosed that it busted a fake call center on Wednesday for allegedly impersonating officials of the US Ministry of Finance.

According to a senior police official, “They were cheating innocent people based in the US by using Vicidial through Cloud servers, then talking to the customers on the pretext of providing them free grants, if the customer pays a fee of $100 and $200 or the same amount through gift cards of google pay or any other wallet.” 

The Cyber Cell of the South District police apprehended the call center located in the Malviya Nagar area and arrested 19 people, confiscated 22 computers, 21 mobile phones, six routers, and three switches. 

The police said that an average of three US citizens were being deceived every day with an estimated amount of Rs 50,000-75,000 (approximately US$ 670-1000) paid by the victims. 

The raid was based on an anonymous email about the questionable activities of the call center which was running since January this year.
