From this blog post it seems that it's only for "Indian English accents"
Accent Localization: localizes Indian English accents so that US-based customers hear US-neutral accents. This is done so that there is no perceived delay during the call and agents sound natural in their speech, tones and pitch.

Old Gam-Gam off put by that "exotic" sounding man on the phone?? Well no longer, you can kiss your inheritance goodbye forever.
Well that call about your car insurance sounds american so you don't hang up immediately, until you've wasted 20 minutes and realize the call is coming from Bangalore.
Reactions from a rightoid Twitter account, there is probably some drama here idk
This is kinda a loss all around I think. Because at the very least Indian scam call workers had a motivation to improve their English and all that but what's gonna be the point now??

ok... it's going to sound like with an american accent. Yeah the accent can be thick but the underlying problem is their english just isn't good. If they could fix the grammar, they literally wouldn't need the to make the calls

I really generally like i meet in america. I have loads of friends. dated a girl once. But call center trigger me It's really not even their fault. They are just reading the tech support scripts or whatever but they don't actually know what they are reading and they read it so slow and mispronounce so much. Just thinking about it is like PTSD of being forced to sit on the phone to reslove my problem, or more likely to escalate to a supervisor... Last year I just needed a static IP... It shouldn't take several calls to india to accomplish that. no one should suffer through a slow with a thick accent explaining the thing I am trying to buy three times after waiting nearly an hour and then never actually put it into effect on my account

Which scam?
Jump in the discussion.

Well I guess it wasn't a scam even, they literally just defrauded me. I needed a last minute Christmas gift for my cousin so I stopped into this sketchy perfume shop in a mall to get him a bottle of cologne. I picked one out that the lady said was only 25 bucks, but they charged my card 35 PLUS tax still. It came out to like 42 dollars total. They didn't tell me about this and I only found out when I checked my receipt when I was all the way back in my car. I was so fricking pissed when I found out, but I really didn't feel like going back in and arguing with them or calling police. It was only 10 dollars, and they are shutting down soon anyway because the mall has been sold to developers.
Anyway avoid this business at all costs, maybe throw a brick through their window if you feel so inclined.

And yes, every single employee was indian, they were jabbering in hindi the entire time. Probably talking about how much of a rube i was.
THEY DONT EVEN HAVE A GOOGLE PAGE SO I CANT LEAVE A SHITTY REVIEW

The simplest thing would be to do a chargeback on your credit card. The merchant often just doesn't respond so you get the money back.

Oh I didnt get a name brand, I only bought it cause the bottle is shaped like a big golden bullet (my cousin is 13)
Its still absolutely not worth 42 dollars tho.

Can it fix their spelling tho?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Poor spelling helps them, because if the mark is willing to overlook spelling mistakes they're more likely to fall for the scam, rather than being fooled for a while but getting suspicious before giving any of the money over.
So it's counter-intuitive but it saves them time to weed out the wary.

it's crazy people are even picking up these calls for more than 2 seconds and not realizing that the $500 overdue bill for a service they're not even subscribed to isn't legit.
i have over 100 missed calls from unknown numbers, they could be a scam or a legitimate bill collector but i'm not giving the time of day to either one
