These days whenever I hear Indian voice, I just reject call. They way they target grandparents is surreal. One day they told my my friends parents that their children is in accident and they have to pay in gift cards. It is so distressing to elderly people.

US must take strict actions and call out India publicly. Elderly people are weak, education isn't going to solve the scam problem. Scammers must be punished harsly. They erode the trust in system.

Also, Indian government is not doing anything. In many places like Kolkata, scammers can get away easily by bribing police. Our phone are being redirected to India, and they can abuse our phone number. I wish, the US government passes strict rules and regulations to keep these scammers in check.
