Would you care to give some clarification on what you are talking about? I realize that many calls don’t originate from your area. But from other countries? Got any evidence to back that up? At my previous job (which I have discussed in above threads) we had as clients: - One of the big 2 credit card companies - 2 of the biggest health insurance companies - The largest mobile phone Service provider and medium sized clients out the wazoo. To my knowledge, not one of our clients **ever** requested that we call out of the country. > [@](#): > > Im not talking about the Sears’ and the local newspaper companies that call you but, do you have any idea where many of the other ones are calling you from? > > Just something to think about. I am thinking about it and can’t make sense of what you are saying. Who are you talking about, and from where are they calling? ---

When I say “which I have discussed in above threads”, I meant to say “(which I have discussed in above **posts** ”. ---

Have you been doing it for the past twelve years (since the thread was originally written)? Sorry to hear you have such a thankless, maligned job. Do you actually like it? Find it satisfying? Your dander being up suggests you’re making a career out of it. Or is this your first job and you’ve just spent the past several hours finding random threads about telemarketing and posting? How on earth did you decide, out of the thousands and thousands of message boards out there with people insulting telemarketers to join and post to this one? Bizarre. ---

We got a telemarketing call for Lifestyle Lift on the voice-mail that I erased ASAP, that was acouple days ago. Also been on the receiving end of the $3 dollars a week/50 weeks magazine deal, and I gave much the same answer **timmar68** that did, that it was motherfucking ludicrous for me to pay $150\* for a single subscription when i could use that same cash and buy any goddamn thing i wanted. I think she didn’t like the answer much. I’d rather work at a job scooping manure for the rest of my days before working as a telemarketer. \*Such a steal ☹ for them. 😛 ---
