FBI’s Boston Division busted a multi-million dollar tech support scam operating out of a call center in India that targeted hundreds of elderly victims in the United States, too. The FBI has shut down the call center operation in India, along with two senior executives who assisted in operating the business that enabled it, and has just admitted to turning a blind eye to this widespread fraud.
Federal authorities informed that this shut down has come into place after a multi-year investigation into a network that defrauded people out of their life savings.
Two senior American executives admitted in federal court to turning a blind eye to the widespread fraud. Former CEO Adam Young, 42, and former Chief Security Officer Harrison Gevirtz, 33, pleaded guilty to charges stemming from their operation of a telecommunications routing business that knowingly enabled the offshore scammers to target U.S. citizens.
“This comes after an FBI Boston investigation that has resulted in the arrests & convictions of a former employee of their call routing company, and five India-based telemarketing fraudsters. Our senior citizens deserve honor, respect, and protection, and if you target them, we will do everything we can to bring you to justice,” wrote the official X handle of FBI Boston.
