Outsourcing phone sex from call centers in India! Some Call Centers in Bangalore and Mumbai have received some bizarre requests from the Western countries. Some call center operators have secretly set up phone sex operations in India. Callers from America or Europe or any other part of the world can dial a toll free number that gets routed through a western nation into call centers in India after the caller pays in dollars or euros. Then the callers get connected to some Indian lady who provide the phone sex service. The practice is totally illegal in India while somewhat legal in Western countries. The business is brisk and revenue flow is very heavy. The Indian operators running these call centers normally have a legitimate normal call center in the front and then phone sex center in the back end. Girls are paid very heavy and plenty of young models are working in these underground centers. Central Bureau of Investigation and local police try their best to catch these illegal operators but all they can do is to unveil a legitimate call center operations for normal businesses. According to sources, Interpol and Indian authorities are working together to tap the phones and nab these culprits based on the exact location of the phone. But now call forwarding is creating another problem. The girls are being connected from the Western countries directly to their cell phones at their home. Many of these girls have claimed that they are talking to their fianc? and boyfriends in America and Western countries. According to Indian authorities this is very difficult to control. The greed for easy money and material luxury is so high in modern India that the educated girls are jumping into the phone sex profession knowing very well they will not be infected with sexual disease or HIV! indiadaily.com
