Main characters (portrayed)
- Abdul Karim Telgi — central figure; ambitious, charismatic, ruthless entrepreneur of crime.

- Political and bureaucratic figures — characters who represent the corruption and bureaucratic failures that allowed the fraud.
Ultimately, Scam 2003 is a fitting companion piece to Scam 1992.
