My understanding of scammers in India has been formed by Youtube videos, where the host "scams the scammer", and from the Reply All podcast (https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/6nh3wk).

Saying that scammers do not buy office space doesn't seem correct. Are you saying they wouldn't buy (or lease/rent) office space? If so, the Youtube videos and Reply All directly contradict that.

Even "mobs" operated as legit businesses. Agreed, to suggest some of the criminals would not attempt the same ruse is nieve.

Some rich businessmen in India are implicated in these scams as well. That is, they operate legit businesses on the whole, but, say, have a floor in a high rise of theirs that’s a scammer call center.
