FBI Dismantles India-Based Tech Support Scam Operation

US Federal Bureau of Investigation has shut down an India-based call centre involved in a widespread tech support scam targeting elderly citizens. The operation deceived victims by posing as legitimate technical support providers, convincing them their devices were compromised and extracting money through fake repair services. This investigation highlights how cybercriminals exploit senior citizens through social engineering tactics and remotely access their systems. Indian authorities continue collaborating with international law enforcement to identify and prosecute scammers. Citizens, especially elderly individuals, should verify support requests independently and avoid sharing remote access to their devices with unverified callers. Source: The420.in.
