Watching "Scam Interceptors" recently on the Beeb ,was an eye opener. There are still whole districts in major cities in India , with huge call centres ,many involved in various scams !

Cornucopia

Jim Browning and the US scam-baiters are doing sterling work on battling these call centre scams.

There was an article a couple of years back on the radio where the Producer of the programme had got what she felt was an email from TVL.

The presenter spotted it was not genuine instantly apparently.
