TORONTO Indian authorities say they have shut down a call centre where dozens of people tried to dupe Canadians into handing over money through a phone scam involving social insurance numbers.

Sameer Sharma, a deputy police commissioner in New Delhi, said in a statement that the "swanky international scam call centre targeting Canadian citizens" first came to the attention of police on Friday.

Officers moved in on Sunday, arresting 32 people and seizing electronic equipment including 55 computers and 35 phones. Also allegedly taken by police were "script pages" that directed call centre workers on what to say.

According to Sharma, police arrived to find several scam calls in progress with associated computer screens displaying Canadian phone numbers.Three supervisors were also present.

"The supervisors were asked about the activity going on there but they could not give any satisfactory answer," he said.
"On sustained questioning, they divulged that they were engaged in calling [Canadians] and impersonating [themselves] as genuine Canadian police."

The 32 people who were arrested are mostly in their 20s or late teens, although some are as old as 37.

I got a call from Albania telling me that there was a warrant out for my arrest because I owed money at the "federal claims court."

Dude. I get that call atleast once a week. Two years ago I was worried so I called them back. They explained some bullshit and I was never worried again.

We have a similar problem in the states. Basically a scam ring saying that their SS numbers are "suspended" or something like that.
