Police raid Indian call-centres linked to 'CRA phone scam' that has victimized Canadians

Link fixed . Sorry my bad.

But this is another example of why we need the CBC.

Yay! Get fucked you assholes.

My biggest regret is not calling back back and fucking with those asshats. I bet I could make one confused as shit.

Yeah. Shows the need for real journalism. If the same thing was going on in the US the usual mooks would be going on about how "unfair" it is to interfere with the "clever and ambitious entrepreneurs" in India behind these crimes the same way they were openly wondering why anyone got pissed off with what Martin Shkreli was doing to sick people. And the US media would have ignored it altogether because of Kardashians or whatever.

Sorry for your loss guys but you'll find this video absolutely hilarious

It was happening all over the US as well, as CBC uncovered. But the FBI came down HARD on these guys, so they doubled down on Canada. And the RCMP did nothing, until the CBC rattled the cage.



I will be calling the next one back, and speaking to him slowly. And after a while, I will say "I'm only delaying you while the police trace this call and have time to storm your call center. They are coming now!"

CRA scam, meh!

The real pro's are the nice ladies from Microsoft Support who don't know what the weather is like in Redmond Washington or even speak passable English. They're actually the easiest ones to fuck with. Hell I've screwed with them so often that they have called their boss to the phone, called me obscene names and threatened to have me arrested.

Apparently they don't like people asking them what they're wearing and telling them to wait till you get your pants off especially when you're that male supervisor who just got called to the phone.

Fun is where you make it. Now after having used my other ploys to garner some enjoyment from these annoying phone calls, I've taken to trying to convert them to Scientology and it seems to be working because, I've been screamed at in tongues which must mean that at leas they're getting a bit of a religious experience out of talking to me.

They've also for some odd reason accepted a fake Tom Cruise email address from me so they can contact Scientologies #2 directly. Something which makes me think that maybe the voice on the other end of the line isn't really much more computer literate than a scared cow on Valium.

I'd do my best french or at least my fringlish. [in halting Jean Chretien Friglish]

Do they recognize your voice yet? My guys started to recognize my voice so after awhile they'd just hang up. Bummer.

Hey, you know how sometimes you're having a fun conversation with them but something happens that requires your immediate attention off the phone so you have to leave quickly but as the winner?

I've had success just saying "command prompt" to them. They seem to immediately know that if you know what that is in context of their call they're wasting their time and they generally hang up. "Ransomware" can work too.

There was a month where they were calling me pretty much every day.

I used have a little script of terms next to the phone for when they'd try to bafflegab me with tech terms. CLSID vs GUID - that sort of thing.

I know what you're talking about though with the supervisor who cusses you out then hangs up and such. Ahh, good times...where did they go?

Oh good. I can finally stop adding numbers to my auto reject list on my cell phone. I had quite a few but I'll delete them now.

It's funny that just last night my bf commented that gee, it's been awhile since you've gotten one of those scammer calls. October 20th to be exact was the last one I received. Bastards were persistent as I would sometimes get more than one call in a day from them, not that I ever answered them but they would leave their stupid threats in my voicemail.

The CRA guys were an added piss off because they'd call between 7 and 8 in the morning where I am. Plus they were robocalls so you couldn't mess with them without calling back.

Same here. It seems they finally figured out that the people on the other end of the phone aren't as stupid as they think and will fuck with them if they get a chance which, would explain why they went to the CRA robocalls rather than live operators.

But, I'm still betting that while we will see a slow down in calls from the subcontinent after this bust it won't last long and they'll be right back at it as soon as this dies down. Especially since this is these peoples livelihood and they've got family to feed.

Channeling the Holly Ghost power of Scientology via the phone. Dude you might be their next prophet. Best someone warn Tom Cruse about your abilities.
