Number Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) Almost everyday I get at least one call where someone is trying to dupe me. Some of them are complete noobs and you get them after they speak 2 sentences. But some of these are highly sophisticated, they use IVRS, talk quite well in English. Their acting and scripts are just top notch. I am sure they must be scamming hundreds of people daily. They have even looted a CBI officer https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/cbi-officer-duped-of-rs-2-lakh-in-cyber-fraud-9310185/ When I see truecaller etc these all numbers are reported as frauds since months but still Police doesn't work to get them blocked. It all leads me to think that all these all scams are run from so called call centres and local officers or may be even higher up politicians are involved in all this. I hope stringent laws are passed soon otherwise this problem can become really worrisome for the country soon. Edited August 23 by Number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't reply for first time assuming that if it's important then other person will call again. coffee_rules, Number and Tillu 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randomGuy Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) Once my dad got a fraud whatsapp call with police DP saying his son is in his custody for r.@pe charge. First thing we do is to search for this type of fraud on twitter, Google. Twitter is active here, people tag cyber cell etc. for such fraud call cases. There have been multiple way that these fraudsters call us, all the ways which we are already documented as tweets n can be easily searched.
