Got em good boys n girls! Keep on these bastards!
@DOPESMOKER#65056 but there is still one prominent company that still stands 
MyPhoneSupport is a real pain in the ass
I don’t see where scambaiting has played a roll in this. Yes customers and regular people can report issues to Microsoft through a portal. This is nothing more than a PR stunt, just as the BBB collects numbers and tracks them for the good of the consumer.
Microsoft is big. Has money, legal, and technical resources. Us scambaiters are pretty adept at finding numbers and websites accidentally and when surfing around shady websites looking for them. Don't you think Microsoft could find a few if they let a team search for some for the day? They don't need our help. When Microsoft calls the FBI, Interpol, FTC, or Indian authorities they get results.
The question is why, if Microsoft knows of and is trying to eliminate the problem that it still exists? Because the Indian government condones the scams and is complicit. Because the FTC has been castrated by massive legit scam companies that rival Microsoft's influence. Because Verizon is just as big and makes money on delivering these calls. The only thing that can stop a company as big as Microsoft from stopping the problem are companies with larger pockets and corrupt authorities.
Going down the rabbit hole further we can ask: why does Microsoft want the fake tech support calls to continue? Does it create more business for them when the scammer f-cks up a customers software and hardware? Think about that for a minute. Does Apple like that scammers prefer to target Microsoft customers? Do they condone it?

I was just posting some encouragement. The article directly states that some of these were closed down due to them being reported.
And I'm not sure how over 50 arrests is a PR stunt. What you say carries some legitimacy but it's a bit off the mark and tinfoil.
Places got shut down due to being reported. Not much of a conspiracy there.
@DOPESMOKER#65083 Yes some is tinfoil. It’s an entire industry in the USA, India, Philippines and worldwide. If there were only 50 scammers, we would have trolled them all by now. 50 is a joke. And yes it is a PR stunt to say… look! we are doing something!
I’ve always suspected the Indian goverment is “in on it”. I risk my reputation and sound like a buffoon saying this of course. However, with endless scam centers spread thousands of miles apart, they all have the same exact key phrases “Do one thing” “each and everything” and have the same reaction or same script when called out on their fraud, it makes me wonder. There is no way 100,000 scammers learned the same style/slang/dialect of English and adhere to the same scripts so strictly every time. They didn’t get this from some cheap mafia master script. It’s so common and consistent it has to be from higher up. Who is the 1 random guy that dreamed up such a bullshit unbelievable .doc for them to all read from? It’s so error ridden and basic-bitch generic that it reeks of government (JUST TO ME that’s all I’m sayin’.)
@jackburton#65096 It is well known that scam emails are specifically written with errors. It weeds out educated people who will never fall for such a scam. The same concept is used on phone scams. The script is designed to repel educated people and consumers to hang up immediately. Thus, only the most gullible and vulnerable victims are left to be targeted.
The script is basically public domain at this point. The single source theory is my main objective. That source is a lead generator/source. Yet there are multiple lead generators at work. So they somehow operate as a network. The only hint I have been given is that there are lead auctions. Data is being bought, sold, and traded daily. But where do these transactions occur? Who oversees the market? These are the questions I am seeking help on answering.
