Bogus Pune call centre dupes 11,000 Americans |
The Pune police has raided a bogus call centre in the upmarket Koregaon Park area, which is suspected of having cheated more than 11,000 US citizens by issuing threats of punishment for tax evasion. Three men operating the call centre were arrested. Significantly, the United States (US) federal government`s Internal Revenue Services (IRS) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have lent their support to the Pune police`s economic and cyber crimes cell in the investigation of the call centre operations. During the raid, the police got details of two similar call centres operating in two other states in the country. The police did not identify the locations or the people behind the two centres, citing ongoing investigations.
