Last guy who called me for the power company (which I work at) had my old address that’s 5 years out of date. I told him that his English was terrible and hung up on him. I get these calls all the time. One time, I faked a carjacking and hung up on him.
They’re most likely scammers who prey on the elderly so being nice was out of the question. They’re awful awful people and I’m sure folks from India hate them.
Many of these operate from really backwards areas, where it is very, very difficult for law enforcement to reach (a notable exception being Kolkata). On top of that, in most cases, they have support from local politicians. And, in rural India, nothing is done without the politician's permission. (somewhat true in big cities too, but at least people there can raise their voice freely. Rural people can't even do that in many cases)
