My 90 year old disabled Army Officer dad (2 purple hearts and a bronze star) had $33,000 wired out of his bank account to India.
The India outsourcing will ultimately make the Nigerian scams look like child's play.

What was the result of this? Did the bank give him his money back?
To: FormerACLUmember
Was it a wire or an ACH transfer? Do you know how this guy got your dad's account info?
To: Samizdat
Aaaaaah, the benefits of sending jobs overseas. How nice.

STAFF at call centres in India are being bribed by organised crime and industrial spies to them help hack into the computer systems of British firms. Surprise, surprise. One thing that outsourcing does not encourage is employee loyalty.

OMG! How awful. I wonder if the FDIC reimburses victims in cases like this.

"Richard Hollis, managing director of Orthus, an information security solutions company in London, claims the problem is growing because Indian staff have access to increasingly sensitive customer information."
No, that's only the half of it. The problem is *growing* because of India's annual 60+% turnover problem in their staff. When you are replacing staff at that rate, your firm can *only* have a temporary employee mentality rather than a long-term "part of us" viewpoint.
10 Points to whomever correctly identifies which group, temps or happy long-termers, is *more* easily bribed.

The bank in question uses Indian out sourcing. My dad's account was looted with wire transfers of $200- $2000 using inside information and falsified documents to India, totalling $33,000 before my 90 year old pop got wind of this.
He will get all the money back (allegedly).
The bank is "re-evaluating" its use of Indian ousourcing.
