Strange that anyone would downvote this. More info on Madoff's employees:

Clearly not everyone was in on the "scam" in this instance. I'm not sure why people seem to think that this Indian scam was any different. It doesn't really seem to be giving the employees the benefit of the doubt.

They're told to call a person and say that this person has money owing. They're told that the IRS is their employer. There's no reason to automatically assume that all the call-centre staff are in on the scam.
