Probably because it’s easier to find Indian/Filipino call center operators who speak English and the US is such a large market that there’s no need to expand into smaller European markets.

I have the same question, the situation seems pretty dire in the USA but as far as I'm aware we don't have nearly the same problem over here. And while most Indians probably don't speak French many African countries do (after all, that's where we put our call centers) and I'm sure if it was possible to make millions that way somebody would've tried.

You have this issue in France as well but it's mostly concentrated on landlines, not mobile phones (no idea why).

Not an English problem, we don't have the problem to the level of the US in the UK either.

(have you been in an accident bots are around, but you don't get calls every day or multiple calls per day as a normal thing)
