Why Indians scam so much?

Indian image has degraded so much lately with countless scams from them. We know most IT resumes from Indians are fake. But this is heights.

Indian Student Scams US University, Fakes Father's Death For Scholarship

Anand, 19, admitted to forging financial records, transcripts, and even his father's death certificate

.Aryan Anand, a former student at Lehigh University, formed a complex plan, including lying and fraud, to earn a full scholarship and entrance to the prestigious Bethlehem institution, according to press reports from Northampton County's district attorney and local media.

How did Anand's deceptive scheme unravel?

As part of the deceptive scheme, Anand, 19, admitted to forging financial records, transcripts, and even his father's death certificate, according to the district attorney's statement made public on Monday. Anand reportedly admitted, "I have built my life and career on lies," in a Reddit post that exposed his deceitful acts.

According to the release, the fraud involved making up an email address that looked like it belonged to a school principal in order to support his bogus allegations. This eventually led to his discovery. The Lehigh University police department launched an investigation after a Reddit moderator notified the university's officials about the incriminating post.

Lehigh University spokeswoman Amy White expressed gratitude who reported the scam for their diligence. "Lehigh University appreciates the report to its ethics hotline and the diligent investigation by the Lehigh University Police Department that led to Aryan Anand’s arrest," she said.

After the inquiry, Anand, who had enrolled at Lehigh in August 2023, had his admission canceled. On June 12, he pleaded guilty to forgery, and according to defense lawyer Molly Heidorn, he was sentenced to one to three months in Northampton County Prison, which was served early for time already served.

As part of the plea agreement, Anand agreed to return to India, his home country, and Lehigh University waived its claim for restitution amounting to $85,000. The announcement stated that as part of the deal, charges of stealing and tampering with documents were dismissed.

The probe into Anand's fraudulent actions, which horrified the academic community and had serious legal repercussions, came to an end on April 30 with his arrest.

Do post news links to back your claim / assertions.

This is outrageous, one student among hundreds of thousands doesn't even qualify for a performance statistic. I've seen several Pakistani origin people claiming themselves to be of Indian origin duping people. That doesn't make all Pakistani people liars. Stereotypes can be convenient but dangerous too. Fake CVs, forging documents, fraudulent insurance claims are very common and hence institutions from banks to schools have background checks in place. For instance a well performing American HP CEO was found to be faking her experience. So, please don't typecast a country with huge population like India with no sampling.

Here's one latest.

How $260,000 in gold bars landed a man behind bars

Tejaskumar Bipinbhai Patel, 21, linked to 'larger group of thieves,' Martin County Sheriff's Office says

Posted at 2:14 PM, Jun 28, 2024

MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. — The Martin County Sheriff's Office said a phone scammer from India was caught with more than $260,000 in gold bars and is part of a much larger crime ring targeting local residents.

In a Facebook post on Friday, the sheriff's office said the investigation into Tejaskumar Bipinbhai Patel, 21, started when he called an elderly Martin County resident and claimed he was a law enforcement officer, telling the victim there was a warrant out for his arrest.

Patel said that if the resident didn't pay up, he would be hauled off to jail, the sheriff's office said.

Investigators said Patel, who claimed he came to the U.S. from India in 2023 using a Green Card, convinced the resident to buy $150,000 in gold bars, telling the victim it was almost enough to pay off the outstanding warrants.

The elderly resident took the gold bars to a driver who was waiting for the payment.

"It wasn’t until the gold was gone that the victim realized he was scammed. So, he called MCSO," the sheriff's office wrote on Facebook.

The sheriff's office said Patel then called the victim back, demanding more gold.

This time, however, when Patel arrived at the drop-off location, Martin County detectives were waiting for him and took him into custody.

Authorities found more than 100 gold bars worth $242,000 in Patel's vehicle. He was arrested for multiple counts of grand theft of $100,000 or more.

The Martin County Sheriff's Office said Patel is "linked to a larger group of thieves who call US citizens posing as law enforcement."

"The criminal organizations engaged in this type of fraud against our citizens often ship the proceeds they steal to other countries, making it impossible for detectives to recover," the sheriff's office wrote on Facebook. "But this time, not only did we recover the stolen gold, we unmasked one of the many voices that lie, steal, and victimize innocent US citizens."

The sheriff's office said its working with state and federal law enforcement agencies on the case.
