10. Same scam I think: FBI in India

Mon Oct 26, 2020, 11:36 AM

This is direct FBI involvement in India: https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/fbi-in-thane-to-investigate-call-centre-scam-homeland-security-coming-too-1474246

I appreciate that this might have received heightened scrutiny in the US because of the IRS, but the fact of the matter is that international law enforcement is quite connected, formally and informallly. The FBI is an excellent first step.
