The FBI on Wednesday said it shut down an India-based call center accused of defrauding elderly Americans of millions of dollars, also confirming that two senior executives of the call center “just admitted” to charges that they allowed the fraud to occur.

In a post on X, the FBI’s Boston office said that “hundreds of elderly victims here in the U.S. [and] abroad” were defrauded “out of millions of dollars through tech support scams.”
