that the "swanky international scam call centre targeting Canadian citizens" first came to the attention of police on Friday.
"The supervisors … were asked about the activity going on there but they could not give any satisfactory answer," he said. All 32 were arrested on breaches of the Indian Telegraph Act, Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act and Information Technology Act. The accusations include that they purchased unauthorized VOIP call minutes from international markets, costing the Indian government a substantial amount of money.
Anyone who does call back is threatened further before the scammer offers to "settle the matter" with a payment, Sharma said.

Slim and should all go to jail
Dig deep. Go hard after them
They would ask for personal information in exchange for curry recipes is what tipped everyone off that it was in India
About time.
Finally! One down how many more to go?
Can you imagine when these scammers use your number as the caller ID number? It happened to us. Caller ID spoofing is random and very common. Protecting your phone number with a PIN before it shows in the caller ID field should be the new privacy issue in Parliament and CRTC.
It's a good day today!
Huzzah! The dumb and gullible are safe once again.
Hey those guys called me once a week. Real, real sad to see them locked up. LOL
No trial, no judge, no jury. Straight to execution. What’s more chickenshit than fucking with another man’s bank account?
Hurray!!!!
About damn time
I'm pretty sure, this is not all of them. There are many more, and I heard that they move from one place to another. I follow a you tuber who actually shuts down their computers, and call centre.
About time. They tried to call my sister I told her to Ignore it. Especially since they said. If you don't call us back we will send the police to arrest you. No companies are allowed to threaten anyone like that. 99% scam.
About time. Many more to get picked up.
Thank goodness. Don't forget to throw away that key!
I Keep Getting Scam Calls In Chinese, some time very well English speaker, threatens to complicate or revoke immigrant status unless i pay a phony fine, some time 5 calls a day!
Let us not forget the poverty of these people. They don’t deserve more pain in their lives. Punish those who hired them, the bosses who would benefit from the fraud.
Why are they sitting like students caught cheating on an exam?
I’m sure there are many more illegitimate CC like this one. But nevertheless great work by our rcmpgrcpolice and India’s fraud and Crime prevention units. Get them all and put them away for life. These calls are frustrating, manipulating to vulnerable people and intolerable.
Finally
Brampton duct cleaning company announces layoffs.
Ah no wonder I dont get fake microsoft calls anymore.
And then what will they do with them😂😂😂 nothing will stop these idiots from trying to scam our people and steal from us.
I wish they’d beat the shit outta them.
These are probably the ones saying the sheriff is being to sent to your house to arrest you. Karma is a beautiful thing!
Scumbags
Death is the only thing they deserve.
Were these the “ your captain is calling” fuckers ?
These are the bastards that's calling, harassing and threatening people saying they owe CRA? They have scammed people of millions.
Are they going to send them here so we can slap them around a bit? Or are they going to be returning any funds? Man,this sucks. voteSombrero
Yes!!! It’s about time! Good job!
👍
PM Justin will surely fly these 'diverse' parasites to Canada & give them homes & lots of tax dollars!! - But meanwhile!! If anyone calls any Canadian HOME & they have a foreign accent!!! Please HANG UP THE FKCUING PHONE! Stop being scammed by parasites! Stop being stupid!
They still calling me .Wtf!
Bribery will probably get them to walk free though, right?
Hey there’s Steve, Jason, Brian and John from Bell
Now if you could arrest the VISA scammers please! My non-existent VISA card 🙄yields me many an early morning scammer call 🤬🤬
so what. they will be up and running again tomorrow. never face trial. why can't phone companies detect fake numbers?
My question is if they were arrested why are they sitting there without handcuffs, unless the photo is taken inside a large fenced in area? The photo almost looks staged....
That’s Barry with my Microsoft refund!!! Atta boy, Barry!!!
Longer this time I hope.
Master maind still free in Canada.
MelanieNagyCTV Good News
Hang the Bastards
Good they are scum
As torture have the “Duct” cleaner scammers call them all day!
They all look frustrated from all my answers i gave them the poor things.
I recognize that guy in the back. His name is John Smith. He helped me with a computer virus. Strange to pay with Google Play cards but I guess that's just technology these days.
Maybe Canada can get the names and ban them from Canada.
No, I am not giving you my Social Insurance Number
They target Canada for 1 reason, it’s the nation with the highest number of suckers in the world.
Ha ha ha - everyday, they call with twisted tongue, with fancy english name and accent- they will never realize they are cheating, stealing loneybf4om seniors , innocent people.
I believe it I just bought a new TV it came with Roku I had to call Roku I got a Indian guy on the phone telling me I had to pay him money to unlock my TV
I get about 32 calls a day from the 'Canadian Revenue Agency.'
firejessicaallen TheSocialCTV
Had 4 calls with the same MO. Pressed 1 and talked with an 'Officer' ask their name, asked them to spell it, asked for their badge number. asked for their direct phone... they finally got pissed with my questions and hung up... ha ha...
Hey look it's 'Steve' and 'Johnathan'
Kitboga
32 down. 32 million to go....
Good now put them in a cell and give everyone the phone number so we can call them and drive them insane just like they did to everyone else
Fukin eh! 👍👏
They've annoyed us long enough
So, are they going in jail ? Or what !
I've spoken to most of them.
Probably come to Canada and get a job with Bell.🤣
My friend, a true dedicated computer 'geek' raised awareness about this 6 months ago. Spent countless hours tracing, verifying, etc. This will be a great Christmas present for him!
Took the authorities long enough time.. I complained to Bell about these calls a Month ago.. The owners/perpatrators should get a few years in jail.. the telemarketers should get re-education on their responsibily to divulge fraudulent assignments..
And still I received a call from the CRA today. Does that mean I’m not going to jail.
Got one of them the other day.He asked for my social insurance Said I would have to whisper it because I was in the bank.Left him hangin for a minute and asked if he got it.
Someone gonna get a hurt real bad , not saying who just someone
Thank goodness,,have calls recorded,, social security calls. Very scary
So does this mean I am not going to get arrested by the magistrate? Has Revenue Canada pardoned me? Or is Dave going to come to my home and arrest me?
I love it when they call me with there scams..I string them along right to the glorious end then i drop the bomb on them it's good for a laugh the rest of the day ...
That’s it? Just 32 people? You guys gotta do better than that to put a dent in these phone calls we get
Throw them in a cell with a telephone that wont stop ringing!
Please don’t stop at this one. There are a lot more of these taking advantage of vulnerable people.
Oh that's why I only got 99 calls instead of 100 ;)
So salty, Bhenchod!!
About time!
How do I get my air ducts cleaned now?
Finally! These POS have been harassing me for years
I can identify every single one of those MFers by their voice...available to testify! 😉🤔👍
People are just trying to support their families. It’s the one running it that need to be caught.
Anyone notice how most of them look ashamed of themselves and 2 of them are just kind of laughing it off?
I always like to ask the name of the caller (one said 'Tom', and then, 'Tom Cruise'). Then I pretend to be familiar with their family and ask lots of questions about how various family members are doing. Yeah, I need new hobbies ... but it gives me a sick feeling of joy ...
I just ask for there id number. They hang up very quickly. Then I block the number
Only 32000 more to go.
Hey is the guy on the far left 'Mike' from Microsoft?
I hang up on anyone who can’t speak proper English.
Thank goodness 👍
Yeah. these are the assholes calling and telling us 'youll be arrested if you dont give your SIN number & personal info'. Give me a break.
Great job nice work! you people. should ask them if they run a duct cleaning service as well !!!!!
Send them back where they came from! Get out of our country once and for all!!!
I hope they captured the brains behind it!!!
Drop in the ocean
Thank you
