Calling up an IT department for help can be a frustrating experience—the only thing more frustrating is getting scammed out of money. Microsoft, Amazon, and Indian law enforcement identified a potential fraud ring with a ton of tech confiscated during searches in the country. Microsoft announced the collaboration in a blog post Thursday.
“This operation was conducted in collaboration with national and international agencies, alongside private sector giants.” CBI confiscated 32 mobile phones, 48 computers, and 33 SIM cards relating to the alleged crimes. The agency also seized 15 email accounts to plot out the web of criminal activity. IT employees in the ring were allegedly defrauding Microsoft and Amazon customers by operating illegal call centers.
