Mumbai Call Centres Cheat US Taxpayers Posing as IRS Officers

THREE offices in Thane, Mumbai were packed with hundreds of employees posing as Internal Revenue Service officials in a scam that has vexed Americans for years.

The Wall Street Journal reported today that Police arrested 70 persons alleging they helped manage nine call-centers where around 700 people made thousands of calls a day to try to trick Americans into sending them money. The call center workers had one job: dial people in the U.S, accuse them of failing to pay their taxes and threaten them with jail if they didn't pay up immediately. And obviously many did.

Even in India, mails have been sent with taxindiaonline id to dupe innocent citizens. Please see Fake

With GST, we intend to bring in uniformity in taxes. The message is clear that the ‘consumer is the king'. If we utilize man, machine, material, money and minute (time), we will not need any other policy for economic advancement.

Prime Minister Modi
