If someone calls me with the thickest indian accent in the world and they tell me that they are Dave or Mark from an American sounding company I eould usually assume I am getting spammed or phishing calls.

If american companies are contracting from India to do these sorts of things I would really like to know the numbers for it, since I would assume that the average tech company would be like "hey wait a minute this sounds fishy af!"

Not hating on my Indian homies, y'all know i got love for ya, but fuuuuck man y'all can't deny that a lot of fake scam calls come from over there. They can come from anywhere really, but i have gotten many from over there

    This rememberes me of the comedy movie Outsoured from 2006. Where an american dude was sent to india to train his call center replacement. Charming and funny story with a decent amount of bollwood dancing.

    something the telecom companies could do:

    have some sort of third party to verify a corporate caller setting up a call center is legit. companies that pay the fee tp be verified then get some badge or indicator in caller id.

    also fixing caller id so that it cant be changed arbitrarily would help a lot.

    The thing that stands out to me is how few of these types of calls come from China. Feels like not trying to skip the "fully industrialized" stage worked out pretty well for them, comparatively. India jumping straight to a service economy without the necessary infrastructural stages is the root of all of this.

    When I lived there, connected people weren't ignorant of the world, even with the great firewall. Everyone has a VPN, and for the most part were just trying to get by and live their life. Similar to the US, educated people are well versed in the rest of the world, poor people self-isolate because they have low possibility of ever needing to interact.

    @AleCx04 it's a real problem. Those few scammers damage the reputation of the whole nation of india.
    Luckily there is Jim Browning who makes those bastards affraid. He managed to get several scam centers to close like this one.
