This has been a problem for far too long, way before the pandemic. People like Pierogi and Kitboga have been trying their best to deter these criminals, but more people need to get on their case.
The scammers shown in this video speak Hindi and target victims within India. They are involved in phone-based scamsThose that Pierogi and others deal with usually operate out of call centres that are located in cities like Kolkata and Delhi and they target people in other countries.
@@hoopoe_so...its still a Problem tho
@@hoopoe_ I guess my point is they are all scamming people out of money, and this is a problem that really needs to be addressed on a wider scale. More PSAs need to be made, more people who take it seriously and crack down. Unfortunately, with the call center operations, many times they are tied to politicians, so they get tipped off on when there will be a raid, making it that much more difficult.
@@marclohnhardt6420 Yes, it’s a big problem.
is not a just problem, is a industry. just like in china.
"new"? "boom"? Like, have you people been living under a rock? This is going on for ages.
If I get a phone call from anyone with an Indian accent, I hang up the phone. You folks did it to yourselves
Damn right you are.
as an actual IT professional from the subcontinent (Bengal,not exactly india, but we do have the same accent), I had never had to contact any foreign people.....except one case, a lady in singapore. and that call was preceded by days of email exchange from my official company account. So yeah, do that. Because those of us who are really in the business would never call you out of the blue.
EVERY time. I did not call you... BYE!
Thank goodness that accent is not hard to spot, haha
Yes but the CEOs of Google and IBM are Indians...
As an Indian let me tell you one thing, this is a parallel industry and is supported and promoted by the political leaders. They ensure to not change the laws to make this parallel industry thrive.
Exactly, they have their full support, maybe they are also getting a commision..
Boom??? Been going on for a decade or more.
Boom means spike.
@@Oceansta I know what it means. There has not been a spike, it is constantly high.
@@74_Green seems like you are privy to police records and access to government data?
If I get a random call that includes the words "I am calling from"...*CLICK*... done!
@@Oceanstaseems like you have to much trust in police and judiciary
As a roule of thumb, I never share my personal data through the phone, especially if it's not me who initiated the phone call, especially if office worker has Indian accent, especially if person tries to rush me or threatens me in any way.

TheIndian law enforcements must be corrupt...........Why is their law enforcement not cracking down on them despite knowing their locations????? Bribes?
Another video maligning India to attack it's service industry. Such Cyber crimes are prevalent everywhere. Anyway these cyber criminals hardly know English so foreigners need not worry.
India central or federals government is not as powerful as china or usa, so they always have a problem impermeant their plan and law without the local government help
@@khanhnguyen-tt3ff wrong. they share the profit
Mewat is a No go region in Haryana
No one wants to go there
why is that?
Would you give some information on this??
@@mabeSc crime
@@Jasssingh-sr5ce You know Hindi???
@@_kartik_chauhan then why doesn't the government reform the area and make it safer? India has got such a high population but the government seems not to be taking advantage of it at all, opposite going on in the west (for the most part)
it's been like this since a decade ago. ask all english speaking countries. who don't know about this? it's been a habit, when we hear someone calling with Indian accent we instantly shut down our phone
Namaskar, 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thousands of Indian construction workers to go to ‘warzone’ Israel in the coming months. 1,500 workers are already selected from Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, many more to be picked from Telangana, Maharashtra next.
It is a matter of national humiliation that Massive Unemployment has forced youth from Rank 111 Hunger Index India to go to Israel for money. 🙏🙏
Don't we have way more people already. Let them go.
Correct @@deletevil
I thought they're going on their own free will without pay. Most Indians on Twitter said "I sapport you sar, Israel. I will fight for free. Please gib me citizenship of Israel" and the most common question is "I have a degree in IT from so and so college in India, will it be recognise in Israel?"
DW is the BBC of Europe. I am expecting more this kind of videos

Thanks DW for highlighting it! Hopefully indian government will take extremely strict actions on it!
Yeah, sure.

Should be stricter punishment
Do not ship a single one of them to the USA. Nope!!
You have enough at the border😀
You don't have to tell them, they are responsible for 50% of illegal border entries from Asia and Carribbean.
worry about chinese immigrants
Juan Miguel is talking about being shipped eh. Zero self awareness eh
nah this has been a problem for a really time. Afriend of mine likes to spend 2-3hrs talking to them until the Indian scammer gets upset and hang up
UP & Haryana - making India (and andhbhakhts) proud lol
Dude...I am from WB... it's too prevalent here also... it's prevalent almost in all of metro cities in India.... alongwith Nigeria...we are great at this...and no I do not support BJP...but I definitely do not support TMC...sad world
Problem is BJP, not creating JOBS!!! But these same peasants, who are desperate for work, keep voting for them!!! Modi OUT!!!!!
I am sure you think India was a land of milk and honey before Modi came to power, right?! There was a nice sarkari job for everybody who wanted it, correct?
@ghost27611 Way back in the 1970s, the ruling party of that time promised Gharibi Hatao! Please let me know what the result was!
@ghost27611 Gharibi Hatao was the ruling party promise back in the 1970s!
@@freddymercury2259 Tera paida hone me bhi BJP aur Modi ka hath hai
@@jarjarbinks3193 no, but it's gone worse. My point is, Indians let politicians get away with it. When Odisha train crashed, did anyone protest and demand the person who was responsible to step down? No! So it will happen again because the politicians know they can get away with it. When Chinese took Galwan Valley, did anyone demand an appropriate response by our gov or ask why they let this happen? No! Instead ppl started flooding youtube comments making up lies defending the government, to save face. Even after they HUMILIATED our country. As long as you let people fool you, you will continue being made a fool of. That's like saying previous gov humiliated you, so why can't BJP. Fact is, national IQ is the real problem.
Are we all convinced how important education and digital literacy of the whole population is?

Yup especially since central and South America are full of saints 😂

What a shame for India. They must be caught and brought to justice.
Other godi media will not report this
This is nothing new, genius!
@ghost27611 Some geniuses ought to know the fact that "News" is NOT something that "reports" knows things!
@ghost27611 Please check the meaning of "news"
If people were scared of the law arresting them for cheating they wouldn't be scared of such gangsters catching them for cheating.
India has demographic dividend over other countries but can't create the number of jobs needed to utilise it.
All these fancy terms Demographic Dividend invented by the Ivy League and Oxbridge Economic Professors aren't in touch with reality. Even if there were jobs this so called dividend does not factor in these families and the infra structure needed housing health education sanitation on the shrinking landmass

People are going to read the video title and post racist comments on here without even watching the well researched video.
These are scammers affecting Indian people, and the police are desperately taking legal action against them.

There are more places in India where small groups indulge in such fraud..but not restricted to India.. mzny countries like Nigeria is famius. Romania also know..we regularly get calls from UK numbers for jobs etc... Turkey , Phillipines are other boiler rooms for nefarious hacking cum fraud schemes ...

It is Mewat. Not Mewat (Nuh). There is a difference.
I hope this cybercrime hub in Mewat is brought down asap.
To all the the white racists hating on India. This is a problem within India. Not targeting your ill gotten gains from Colonialism.
DW needs to do better to provide context
problem within India? the scam call center has been targeting English speaking countries outside India for decades. so, if you find someone hate India, blame yourself
Hello I am from Microsoft your computer has been hacked please give me your code. 😅

Just heard that BBC shut its offices in india. Just telling dont want dw to follow the same line😂😂

OLX has some real scammers
if the gov issued a ubi for example im sure that would help so gov is mainly responsible
That is why the British empire left India with advance notice back in 1947 and the good minority thanked them forever giving them two separate countries.
This has boomed now but this problem has been prevalent long before this. Now its an entire ecosystem that's why it seems to be so big.
This is very old news, and affect local people. government taken care of this.
the scam industry is doing great in India. Jai Hind!
There has always been people wanting to get rich by hook or crook all across the world, this is one Example
good job but being arrested they continue to do the same in the prison.
Curuption and crime has a long way to go in India
Looks like the chickens have come home to roast.

I'v shown this to an Indian and he only replied with a nodding head, now I'm struggling to get his reaction.
Please have one of your national dish, aka eggs boiled in human #1! Then you might not struggle.
It's all BS , Police actually don't take seriously else it's piece of cake to catch these scammers , it's not like they're operating from Pakistan lol ..they're based in India and if you google or search on TH-cam there are many scammers in India operating freely ..it's SIck !!

Shame on DW. Tarnishing Bad Image against Indian
*Bobbles heads while saying it....
Take it easy. News channels have been covering scammers from every corner of the globe. I saw a documentary about a country ranking as #1 in romance scam and I burst out laughing. Reason is I know romantic lyrics from that country beat all other countries I have checked. Lyrics like a lady saying "When you first met me you said you were plucking out your teeth for me. But you lied to me". And that is even a warm up. I said to myself, those scammers are melting the hearts of their victims and melting their monies along with it.
