      the easy loan approval itself with hardly any verification etc should alert people that these apps are scams which shouldn't even be there under Google, Apple, etc (it's not just scamming but paedophilia which are criminal issues in many nations where the scammers would need to be jailed for those too). unfortunately, many Indians by nature fall for these loans due to greed and sometimes desperation too where many I guess want to live above their means too. unfortunately, corruption and scamming have been part of the Indian blood (yes, corruption exists worldwide though India is 1 of the world leaders for scamming while amongst developed nations, only USA is amongst the world leaders for scamming)

      The BBC will always try to target selective countries only by bringing only negative stroies from those countries.
      These call center scam stories often comes on local media.. periodic actions keep happening against them.
      BBC itself is the most deadly scam in the world from tax evasion, money laundering to propaganda and narrtive building in name of journalism.😂😂😂
      Well those are saying that Indian media are not reporting these are probably are completely unaware of facts..😂😂😂 These stories keeps on comming in media.
      The point is that more dangerous crimes and scam happen in every part of the world including western world but BBC would only focus to traget certain countries to bring only negative stories from...that country.

      BBC needs to expose the rape against women and girls by Hindu males. We need this to take the world stage.
      On Feb. 23, 2016, an Indian woman, within hours of giving birth by C-section, was raped in a hospital near New Delhi. Some in India took consolation in the fact that at least she was not, like Nirbhaya-the 23-year-old female physiotherapy intern-beaten up after being raped.
      A few days later, on March 8, 2016, on Women’s Day, a 15-year-old girl was raped and set on fire.
      Indeed, Amnesty International reports that authorities have not effectively implemented new laws on crimes against women. The majority of rape cases still go unreported. In Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s India, the problem, instead of abating, has become worse:
      2011 24,206 (reported rapes per year in India)2012 24,9232013 33,7072014 37,000😮

I'm not saying they used bad language but the fact that they call you and keep reminding you everyday that you owe someone money makes you feel disgusted about yourself. I can only imagine in these scenarios how much pressure a person must have gone through that made them end their own life. That 26 year old girl's story just broke my heart 😢 Moral of the story, live on the streets if you have to, eat garbage if you got to, but never borrow money from anyone.

      You can Always share, especially with family! Never suffer alone. I was surprised how many people in the video didn’t go to their family for help. One girl would rather kill her grandmother, instead of just informing her of her struggles and asking for the jewelry or any help. Im sure her family would have helped her. What went through her mind to kill her? I have been in so many tough situations. Sure I might have been too scared to call my parents, but I would call an aunty or a friend and eventually my parents. That’s what family is for.

Great

The indian system can do much more in banning and bringing those responsible to justice, but as we all know for sure they may be the foundation and the spring board from which these apps may be active and booming. Thanks again. Keep it up. Well done.

    Bajaj finance is also one of them. My friend was posted in an island for a year. She could not pay for 4-5months EMI and the Bajaj finance company kept calling her everyday and threatened to send people to raid her home. They called her contacts and spoke to them and tried to shame her. But after she made the payment & she wrote a letter to the company & they pretended to be not aware. But the man named Ajay who harassed her was an execute manager of the branch. Please dont take loan from cooperate/ pvt companies. They are run by evil people who make fortune out of the miseries of people.
