An Indian-origin person is suspected to be behind a revenue scam in US in which calls have been made to elderly people threatening with possibility of arrest if they did not transfer money to particular accounts.
Police in East Hartford in Connecticut are investigating the scam in which two South Windsor residents were called by someone with an accent possibly of Indian descent. The caller said that the victims owed money to the 'Department of Social Security' and that they would be held if they did not send money via 'Moneygram', a report in FoxCT news said.
