Indian call centres in the news

[WTFH]

Hi I'm Dave I have Herpes

Quoting for future reference.

I solve this by never answering my landline...

Landlines are broken.

In this day-and-age why would anyone want a device in their house that's sole use is to allow fraudsters to contact them directly?

Even my ageing parents now usually call me on my mobile.

Literally the only calls I get on my home phone are:

PPI Insurance, Something about "An accident I had that wasn't my fault" ( I had a crash 4 years ago. It was entirely my fault ) and some helpful chap with a thick accent from Microsoft Support Center telling me they've detected a problem with my computer.
