I am a real life telemarketer from Montreal, who worked at a famous place.
When people were hired here, on their first day, the manager walked them into a room where there were shelves
of many phone directories.
He pointed to the books and said, Our target is every last business in America!
Business Directories
The business directory department was split in two divisions, one honest and the other more mysterious.
Most people who worked there were fairly honest. The mysterious division handled unwanted subscriptions
- Your predessor at your job ordered a group of three books, etc.
The Offices Supplies Floor
The office supplies were on another floor completely.
They were rumoured to sell 10 - 25 dollar boxes of office supplies for 300 - 400 dollars. They made
more money and they were a more volatile office, hiring younger rather than older workers, and less educated workers.
This has all been coming out lately, and though the variations of these scams can be recycled so it is important
to be aware of them!
The scripts will be re-printed here, not naming any employers at all -
Stay Tuned!
