I think that's not the point of the article. I think he was trying say that if you run into criminals it'll be more cost effective to deal with them locally than overseas.

Frauds and scams exists everywhere, but I guess it's easier to fend them off locally than overseas. So there seems to be bit of a merit to the article's stance.

yes, India sure isn't the only place. People like this are everywhere. But it's truly sad to see criminals like this escaping from the loopholes in law.
