63 people have been arrested in Hyderabad after a fake call centre scam was exposed. The centre was set up to defraud thousands of US citizens daily. Masterminded by Kaivan Patel and Rupesh Kumar, with further involvement from Rupesh's Dubai-based brother, Vickey, and Azad, the scam involved tele-callers impersonating PayPal representatives to deceive victims into revealing sensitive banking information. Each caller was tasked with targeting 10 people per day, and the centre operated to scam an average of 600 US citizens daily. The subsequent crypto assets were transferred to digital wallets.

The operation was set up under the guise of a legitimate business, hiring 63 employees, offering a monthly salary of Rs 30,000, accommodation, and transportation. They were fluent in English and trained to manipulate victims. During the raid, the police confiscated laptops, mobile phones, and employee identity cards. Authorities are intensifying their efforts to track down Rupesh Kumar and uncover the exact fraudulent network.

Although the ins and outs of this case are shocking, it is just one piece of a much larger puzzle. Telecommunication centres like this are developing schemes daily to scam thousands of people. This requires further scrutiny and investigation from an industry-wide level.
