I’ve heard some at least pretending Indian or Pakistani accents, but over time also “good ol’ boys from Texas”, generic USA yuppie-speakers, and Spanish. Seems scammers worldwide don’t just use TOR to hide their locations (i.e., accent means you “must” be in some other region). As dwightstegall and Mr. Khanse say, it’s best just to hang up on or block such callers. Cheers!

In reply to Deport Now. True. Unfortunately some unethical folks from India do indulge in this malpractice. Gives all a bad name. :(

I have received these calls and the call origin can be traced to India. Hmm….

They call me about once a month. I laugh at them and hang up.
