Big Fraud By 56 People Using India Call Centers And Data Brokers

Feds charge 56 suspects in fraud scheme that siphoned $300 million from 15,000 victims

Federal authorities unsealed an indictment Thursday charging 56 people in a vast fraud scheme in which suspects posed as Internal Revenue Service agents and immigration authorities to siphon more than $300 million from thousands of unwitting victims to clear fictitious deportation warrants and phony tax debts. The scheme, which employed a network of telephone call centers based in India, relied on personal information obtained from data brokers to target at least 15,000 victims with threats of fines, deportation or imprisonment if they did not pay the demanded fees.
