Up to 60,000 Britons have been the victims of a multi-million-pound Indian call centre and internet fraud, the Mail can reveal.
Investigators believe the sheer number taken in by the loans scam makes it one of the biggest frauds ever carried out in the UK from overseas.
At its height, more than 1,000 people a day who had legitimately sought unsecured loans with banks and finance companies were being ‘cold called’ from call centres in the Indian capital New Delhi – with 100 of them daily being duped into signing-up and paying a ‘processing fee’ to secure non-existent cash.
We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm. ~~ George Orwell.
