    1. Love from India! Don’t worry, our police has arrested many of these criminals in past two years and we shall stop them.

    1. What it has to do with diversity???? Not a single country is without these sort of scammers. Canada too is not an exception bro. Maybe they operate differently, but believe me there are scammers everywhere. And ya, it has nothing to do with the color of the skin…

    2. In India too, our motto is Unity in Diversity, but the left just takes it as minority appeasement. The left globally needs major reforms. We have a conservative government in India and wish they had won in Canada too. Jagmeet Singh and Mr. Trudeau support Pakistan sponsored khalistani terrorists who want to break up India. Hope you guys do well. Love from India and apologies for the trouble these scammers cause. These idiotic criminals have immensely harmed our reputation. Many of them have been busted in the last two years and we will stop them, no matter what the cost is.

  1. Don’t recognize it, don’t answer it. If it’s important then they’ll leave a voicemail. If someone leaves a suspicious voicemail claiming to be the CRA or the police or anyone else that you don’t know personally, then call the CRA or the police listed in the phone directory and go through the proper channels – don’t call the # they leave in the voicemail.

  2. Yet in a few weeks they will all immigrate to Canada. Trudeau loves India after all. How can you tell really if they are scammers or not when the whole phone service industry is full of Apus. The victims of these scams the elderly wouldn’t have known any better. Canada is so full of Indians in government jobs you wouldn’t know. Welcome to Canadastan

    1. Just to u know
      India hate Canada for being a heaven for khalistani terrorists

      That’s why Trudeau got a snub from India on his last Indian visit

  3. Congratulations to the Authorities to close down the call centre in India and arrested those fraudsters who deceived or tried to dupe Canadians in handing over their hard earned money through phone scams involving their social insurance numbers. Well done job is accomplished by Indian Police in arresting these criminals who want easy money from innocent Canadians.
