And here is how to get a magicJack in India:
http://magicjack.in
And this is all you need to supply to begin using it (to my knowledge, none of this information is actually confirmed for the free service term that comes with the hardware you buy):
"What all particulars you need for registration?
When you plug in the magicjack for the first time, a small registration screen will appear.
You will need to fill in your details such as name, address, email, username, password,ect
then you will need to select your own USA/Canada phone number and you are ready to call."

And that is why there are so many Indian scammers using magicJacks.
Recieved call two or thee times a day when you pick up no one answers then I finally got tired of it so I called them the person with accent may be from India or Pakistan and the other guy sounds philipino came on line and says he is from crime investigation dept and his badge number is 0476 ,when I asked him about all his detail he says he can not hear me clear because his line has drop ,looks like these scammer and crooks calls from overseas with us telephone number which you can get the service from internet phone company vonage,they will try to scare people and ask credit card payment to their account when I asked them that do not hang up let me get your direct number as he claimed that he is calling from us homeland security ,there is a woman also there he sounds like indian or pakistani,so when you all recieve their call just curse them out like I did DO not give your particulars especially credit card or social security number , and please post it the more post we will have then only we can get rid of them !unfortunately our legal system can not do anything seems like
I got a VM yesterday from a guy with heavy indian accent claiming himself a CID agent. I didn't get the VM properly but he said he needs my social security number and told me to call him immediately. When I called back at night no one receive the phone. I guess this guy is a big scammer!
same think happened to me today, i had to call 911 and i did an online report for phone harassment, i think everyone should do that that way some one will do something about it.
Someone with Chinese accent called me that he is the Chief of Crime investigation dept. (CID) -- After couple of 4 letter words from my side he kind of convinced me that he is from CID at Washington DC gave me a warrant number etc. they transferred my call to Indian accent girl by that time I have already looked the number on the net.. then the words were spoken that i haven't used for many months. She told me that i will be arrested on three counts. I specifically asked them what is my date of birth and SS number but they were not able to supply so i know for sure they are fraud. I called local police if they have any arrest warrant for me - she said no but IRS or Govt. office does not call like that.
