Call center fraud

BBC News

I think there's a real danger that this sort of thing could play into the hands of jingoists, but it's definitely food for thought.

Just as there are "critical industries" (e.g., certain metals) for which countries are reluctant to wholly depend on foreign producers, perhaps we ought to re-think whether we want limits on the sort of tasks which are out-sourced abroad.

First, it was medical records extortion (an isolated incident); now it's credit card fraud.

Makes you wonder about what mayhem could be done with Voter Vault.
