    Sorry, India population is 1.4 billion. For some reason I was thinking closer to 4 billion. My bad.

    So let’s adjust it to “hundreds of millions.”

      Still not quite sure if I’d guess >200 million (minimum for “hundreds of millions”) people in India work in scam call centres. That would be 14% of their total population, or 37% of their working population. I’d definitely give you millions, maybe tens of millions if research supports it.

      It’s a problem on a massive scale, no need to be hyperbolic.
