Scam Centres

 

Scam Centres

There are types of call centres that aren't so legal and legit. One was located two hours out of town in a new high tech cyber park. The perfect place for an advanced scam centre. They operated in plain sight and did several things. Love scams were easy to do. So was fixing home computers with so called issues. Crypto scams were a bit harder. Then there was insurance fraud followed by professional hacking. And more besides. Each criminal undertaking offered the chance to make millions of dollars or even more. People were hired with the intent to commit crime. These included skilled hackers and mid-level organized criminals who helped guide the crimes. Then there was normal people actively seeking work. They were told they’d get good salaries and a chance to learn. In reality they were kept in high tech locked gated compounds with armed guards and CCTV. If they didn’t perform or tried to escape they were threatened then beaten. Several had been shot dead when they tried to storm the guard at the main gate. Two scam centres were shut down. One had a thousand people locked inside the sprawling compound. Another had seven hundred. An Asian man escaped the second one by climbing a wall and crossing a river. He alerted police and they raided the centre. Several top gangsters were caught red handed and the place was shut down. Organized crime was smart and fast and would soon replace these advanced techno hubs and call centres with others at different locations. It was cat and mouse and the cats were losing the fight.
