One of the issues creating poor impressions of Indians at least in Canada nearly every resident gets a fairly regular stream of calls from Pakistan and India that are actually fraud, dealing with IT and credit cards, duct cleaning and taxes.

I think India is a challenging place to make a living and thus many people do whatever they can to make a buck, at least that is how I explain this behavior to myself.

That’s true, I get a lot of fraud calls from India too.

It’s lack of regulation, funds and a lot of other things.

You’re right though, it’s going to affect reputation for sure. Not like it’s going to make the bad actors mindful, because as you suggest, it’s survival that’s on their mind.

still doesn't make stereotyping right
