INDORE: Three FBI officers arrived in Indore on Friday to assist in a crime branch investigation into a fake call centre that duped American citizens by posing as US Social Security Administration officials. The Feds shared details of the US victims with Indore Police.
The gang would send voice messages to US citizens and then call them using a spoofing software to make it appear as if the calls were being made from the US. Posing as federal officials, they would tell victims that their social security number had been used in money-laundering and smuggling, and they’d have to pay a fine to save it from being blocked.
