Major IRS scam phone call center busted in Mumbai

That a dime per capita. Boo-hoo. Even if we could prosecute them (we can’t, no jurisdiction) it would cost $36 million to even make a dent in their business. Sham-wow alone might extort more than $36 million from US residents. American banks extort more than that from Americans iwith exorbitant fees, which go unchallenged and are blown off with a shrug. Walmort makes more tha $36 millilon just by rounding prices up to the next 88 cents.

American airlines all charge $200, just to change the date on your plane ticket – $400 if it’s international. Now who’s ripping us off? (British Airways charges nothing for that, and Emirates, Air France and Turkish only a small fraction of it.)
