Delhi Call Centres Busted: Rs 100 Crore Cyber Fraud Unveiled

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) launched a major crackdown on Friday, August 1, 2025, raiding several call centres in Delhi suspected of running a massive cyber fraud operation. The operation targeted individuals allegedly involved in duping US citizens.

Investigations reveal the call centres peddled counterfeit software, including fake Microsoft Windows licenses, for years. This sophisticated scam involved convincing victims to purchase non-existent software.

Authorities estimate the fraudsters laundered approximately Rs 100 crore through this operation. The ED is currently tracing the flow of funds and identifying all those involved in the conspiracy.

The arrests and seizures highlight the growing threat of cybercrime targeting Indian citizens and individuals abroad. The case underscores the need for stronger cybersecurity measures and increased vigilance against online scams, particularly those involving the sale of software licenses. This brazen operation serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities within the digital landscape and the lengths criminals will go to exploit them.
