New data theft scandal rocks subcontinent’s call centres

Leading British and American companies face being dragged into an emerging fraud scandal at a call centre company in India.

V-Angels, a Delhi-based outsourcing company that handles customer inquiries for telecoms firms in the West, has reported a number of employees to the police for allegedly stealing highly confidential customer data.

Som Mandal, V-Angels’ lawyer, confirmed that the firm had made a police complaint. He declined to identify V-Angels’ clients, citing commercial confidentiality, but confirmed that they include ‘half a dozen blue chip companies in Britain and the US’.
