Also, India is used heavily for actual tech support and call-centers. Many of these places hide amongst them, sometimes in the same buildings as a legit operation which helps mask them.
I'd imagine that a bunch of the people staffing the scam centers are defectors from a legit one, and take their knowledge - and probably customer lists - with them
