Most of the so called call centers and scammers are located at kolkata-India ( I know because I live in Kolkata-India ) , I hate how they scam and loot money from innocent people . Contact Indian Govt' ( Its changed now ) . and tell them about situation .

all this things creating a really bad image of India .

It does create a really bad image. Someone once traced the scammers all the way back to the Indian bank they were using. Do you think the banks care?

Bank probably knows you're unlikely to have much proof. I guess it's similar to the way people get away with putting flyers on car windscreens or paste up posters on buildings. You know with almost absolute certainty that the company being advertised is ultimately responsible, but unless you can connect all the dots, your complaint might not get anywhere.

Most people won't judge so fast a nation of 1.3 billion based on a few scammers.

In the last few weeks Nigeria got much more (deserved) bad reputation due to the kidnappings than for 15 years of scamming combined.
