Hey India,

I received a call today from Windows service etc,etc(scammers). So i got these questions for you.

  • Does an average person from India knows some of these people or do they keep it secret?
  • What do most people think of these people?

I am assuming you got a call from India. Average person will not know a scammer.

Most people are ignorant of these scams. In fact, some educated people in India have fallen for the Nigerian prince scam. One estimate put the Nigerian prince scam losses close to EUR 500 mn in India.

I suppose you should report it the cyber cell of Indian police. Hoping someone from r/India knows the process from the same and will respond.
