Delhi Call Centres Busted: Rs 100 Crore US Tech Scam Exposed
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) launched a major crackdown on Friday, August 1, 2025, raiding several call centres in South Delhi. The operation targeted an alleged international tech scam targeting American citizens.
Investigators suspect the centres defrauded US citizens through the sale of fake software. The scam, operating since 2016, is believed to have raked in nearly Rs 100 crore in illicit foreign remittances.
The ED is probing the flow of these funds under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The agency is examining financial records and questioning key individuals involved in the operation.
This major bust highlights the growing threat of transnational financial crimes targeting India. The scale of the operation underscores the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures and stricter regulations to combat such scams. The investigation’s outcome will have significant implications for both India-US relations and the fight against cybercrime.
