Fake Indian tech support centres raided

    Over 50 people have been arrested in raids on businesses accused of fake security warning scams.

    The New York Times said that Delhi police made the arrests during raids on 26 call centres linked to the scams.

    Microsoft said it received more than 11,000 calls per month about fake security warnings and that many people lost significant amounts of money to the fraudsters.

    The software company helped police trace who was behind the large-scale operations.
