Indian scammers - BBC Panorama

The BBC's Panorama program is doing an expose on Indian scammers https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/storie...ght-red-handed

Anyone who is interested in computer scammers getting caught and exposed for what they are doing to people in the UK, I am sure it will be a good watch.

It is also worth noting, be very vigilant about scammers targeting you.

I tend to be much, much ruder. I don't swear very often in real life, so I tend to save the words up and use them all in one sentence when these scumbags ring.

Re: Indian scammers - BBC Panorama

When they say my Internet connection will be disconnected, I always thank them and tell them to go ahead because I've had enough of it anyway. They then might tell me that I don't understand but I tell them I do and that it's quite all right to pull the plug.

I'm still here.
