21 members of a “Telefraud Scam” has given sentence by US authorities for the fraud done by Americans and legal immigrants. On Friday, all of them were given jail terms, up to 20 years for some. These are either Indians or naturalised Americans of Indian descent. Several of them will be deported back to India after the completion of their jail terms.
All of them have connections in call centres based in Ahmedabad. They were threatening people on the basis of call centre data about imprisonment, deportation and fines for “alleged” unpaid dues owed to the government. Many of their victims have even paid them big money too.
The US Department of justice has also named 32 India-based conspirators who have still not been arraigned. However, Indian authorities are cooperating in this case. As a result, several people were reportedly arrested and authorities have shut down many call centres too.
