Amazon and Microsoft Team Up To Protect Users From Impersonation Scams in India

New Delhi, October 20: Amazon on Friday announced that it has teamed up with Microsoft to protect consumers from impersonation scams in India. On Thursday, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) announced it conducted multiple criminal raids in various cities spanning several states against illegal call centres in India that were set up to impersonate Microsoft and Amazon customer support.

The illegal call centres impacted over 2,000 Amazon and Microsoft customers primarily based in the US, but also in Australia, Canada, Germany, Spain, and the UK. This operation was supported by a joint criminal referral made by Amazon and Microsoft through joint prosecution agreements in the US and India, as the same cyber criminals were targeting both the company's customers. iPhone Festive Sales 2023: Premium Smartphone Brand Sells Over 1.5 Million Units During First Week of Festive Sales in India, Registers 25% Growth Year-On-Year.
