Toronto, Oct 19 : Canadian police are yet to arrest a 22-year-old Indian man for his role in Indian call centre scams targeting Canada.
The investigation has brought to light the involvement of international students on study visa here in these scams.
It is not known whether Naman Grover of Mississauga on the outskirts of Toronto is also an international student in Canada.
A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for Grover after he was found to be working as a ‘money mule’ for call centre scamsters.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the national police force of Canada, suspect he might have fled the country.
Phone scamsters from India have been targeting Canadians by posing as representatives of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), police organisations and tech support agencies. They scare people to pay money or part with their financial/credit card information immediately or face action.
