    Nah, Indian people are not to blame. This post is just racist, white people do the same kind of scams just as often but the OP only notices the ones where the call center agent sounds like an accent they associate with Indian people.

      thank you for looking out for us brownies out there, but unfortunately no, most of the scammers are in India and Nigeria (two developing countries). Indian people are not to blame 100% but we are not doing anything at all to stop this shit, trust me once you see how rotten the system is here, you will understand how the government and law enforcement are not taking action against this.

      I mean, of c the economy, lack of jobs and knowledge of English language have made them fertile soil for these types of scam camps.

        I’m well aware of the economic factors at play driving scammers from India and Nigeria to do their thing. I am trying to bring attention to the white European scam phone banks that don’t have the same reputation, your Bulgarian and Romanian and Latvian scammers, Russian, etc. There are also scam call centers in the good ol USA. It’s definitely not just restricted to the two developing nations with a large number of English speakers and few opportunities that are blamed for it.

          You said this post is racist, despite basically agreeing? You actually only what that other, much smaller, “scam-countries” also get named?

            Please learn to read if you think I agreed. Please cope and seethe about the fact that I correctly identified this post as casually racist, ethnocentric Reddit bullshit.

              You must be trying to set the record for how many times you can comment the word “cope” in one comment section. Reddit is the place you are looking for if you are after that kinda thing.

        I suggest you cry more, and cope harder about the fact that I correctly identified OP’s racist perspective.
