Law enforcement seized 32 phones, 48 laptops and hard discs, and 33 SIM cards and froze several bank accounts amid the raid of the 76 locations, according to CBI.
So... After raiding 76 locations, they only got 32 phones? Like... they only found one phone in every two places that they raided? And they only got 48 laptops? Those are the kind of numbers that I would expect for one single location.
It kind of sounds like 75 of the locations were tipped off by corrupt local officials in advance.
A lot of the scammer call center calls were likely made on dumb landline phones, not smart phones.
I’m more surprised that they only grabbed 48 computers.
Usually they use voip, spoofing an American phone number
A lot of the phone systems they use are phone app based with a USB head set.
But 48 laptops is still a bit light.
