In Germany scam calls often come from callcenters in Turkey. There is a huge quantity of people who speak both Turkish and German quite well and a small portion of them who for some reason or other reside in Turkey now participate in scam operations.

Turkey doesn't have much interest in stopping this. One could argue they have quite a few bigger problems, crime related or not, to try and shut down a source of foreign currency. Same as India.
