Rs 100 cr scam busted. ED raids fake Delhi call centre duping Americans

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has conducted raids at three locations in Delhi’s Khanpur area as part of a money laundering investigation linked to a fake call centre accused of duping US citizens by selling pirated software, official sources said Friday.

The searches began around 10:30 pm on Thursday and were still underway as of Friday, official sources told The Times of India.

The operation is being carried out under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).


Preliminary investigations indicate that the call centre was run by individuals who misled foreign nationals — particularly in the United States — by selling "fictitious or pirated " software under the guise of genuine products like Microsoft Windows.

According to sources, the Enforcement Directorate suspects that the operators received foreign remittances amounting to approximately Rs 100 crore between 2016–17 and 2024–25.
