24 Sentenced In Massive India-Based Call Center Scam, Several Face Deportation Orders

Federal officials sentenced 24 people involved in an India-based call center scam with several receiving deportation orders Friday.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) reported 21 people were sentenced for as much as 20 years of prison Friday for defrauding U.S. residents of hundreds of millions of dollars between 2012 and 2016. Another three were sentenced earlier in the year for targeting U.S. residents through telephone fraud schemes from India-based call centers.

After facing their individual prison sentences, 10 of the 24 conspirators were recommended or under judicial order to be deported back to India and one must revoke his U.S. citizenship.

Indian culture respects and rewards those whom perpetrate fraud and schemes as 'clever' and are celebrated by Indian society.  It is the most corrupt system I have ever witnessed, and the whole of their society operates based off of it.

You have to pay bribes for everything in India.  Go to the hospital, you have to pay bribes to the registrar, then the doctor himself - and if you do not pay enough to please him - he does not treat your malady properly.  That comes before his bill.

Then, things like electricity - company thugs come to your home to collect your bill and you must first pay 'bribes' and if they are not sufficient - they will literally cut the power lines to your house.   I could go on and on with what I experienced while living there - but Indian society is one that prizes those who can swindle others.

It is a nation without any influence from biblical morality, and the chaos and misery there is what raw human nature imposes on others.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.
