U.S. v. Jagmeet Singh Virk
Virk and his co-conspirators engaged in a scheme to defraud by making false representations to consumers through “pop-up” warnings on their computers. The warnings falsely claimed to detect computer viruses or other security issues and instructed consumers to call a telephone number to fix the purported computer problems. The calls were routed to a call center in the Republic of India, where NTS IT Care, Inc. and NTS Global Services Pvt. Ltd. “sales representatives” used high-pressure tactics to deceive consumers into purchasing fictitious computer support services. Through these deceptive tactics, “sales representatives” convinced consumers to purchase fake and expensive “technical support” packages.
