Fake international call centre busted - The Goan Everyday - July 20, 2024. It is distressing to note how fake call centres are brought to light over the past several years, all over the country. The fake international call centre at Calangute is another addition to the list. The Cyber Crime cell surely has its hands full, tackling such crimes. Modern technology should have ideally been a tool to make life comfortable. Instead, what we find is, it is being misused to bring hardship and pain and more stress in an already stressed out world.
