Overview
- The two former U.S. executives, Adam Young and Harrison Gevirtz, admitted Thursday to misprision of a felony for running a call‑routing and tracking business that knowingly served customers who ran tech‑support scams.
- Prosecutors say the company sold phone numbers, call routing, call forwarding and tracking that connected victims to India‑based call centers that used fake pop‑up alerts to pressure mainly elderly Americans into paying for bogus technical help.
- Court filings show Young and Gevirtz received repeated complaints from providers, victims and law enforcement and then advised some customers on ways to reduce complaints and keep accounts active instead of reporting the fraud.
- The FBI investigation that began in 2020 led to convictions of five India‑based telemarketers, the shutdown of an India call center operation and the arrest of a former employee tied to the call‑routing service.
- Young and Gevirtz are due to be sentenced on June 16, 2026, and the case signals increased U.S. cross‑border enforcement aimed at infrastructure providers who enable large‑scale scams.
