If they're getting scammed using stolen local cards, banning transactions using international cards probably wouldn't help them very much.

They've also been scammed by way of use of international credit cards too, including some that had never been used in India before.

I'm curious what they are doing for domestic card validation. Asking for presentation of credit card at time of check-in, ticket collection would prevent some of this stuff.
