Low regulation and not tech savvy police or law makers. And focus is on other more pressing violent crimes. Politicians using police to do their bidding. All leads to some people doing whatever the hell they want and scamming old ladies in western countries. Those people are a problem to locals as well. They will scam anything from anyone.
Also, India is used heavily for actual tech support and call-centers. Many of these places hide amongst them, sometimes in the same buildings as a legit operation which helps mask them.
I'd imagine that a bunch of the people staffing the scam centers are defectors from a legit one, and take their knowledge - and probably customer lists - with them
