Baiting The Scammers
We go deep into the vast world of India’s online scams, meeting both those behind the deception and the new breed of Indian scambaiters trying to bring down those “destroying the country’s reputation”. After 7 years running tech support scams “Leo” is now an entrepreneur who sets up whole scamming operations for those with money to invest. He tells us exactly how he does it. We follow “Sven” as he calls on the international scambaiter community to help investigate a company running a tech support scam. Will he find enough evidence for the police to mount a raid?
