This is a sample script from memory, inundating millions of American homes, even as I write this page:
Telemarketer:
Hi, my name is Susan Green. I am calling today from....to help you lower your interest rates. Because of your established
credit history, you may now be eligible to apply for a new card with a rate as low as 7.9%. Would this be helpful to you,
or do you pay your balances in full every month?
Victim: Yes, it might be helpful to me....I am carrying a balance
of maybe three thousand...
Telemarketer: I will just look at our interest savings chart...you will save about half
of that roughly in your interest payments..over the period of one year...if you change from the high basic rate of about 18%
to the new rate of 7.9%...So on a balance of 3000 dollars the savings can be about 1500 dollars....
Now how this works,
after you apply for the new low rate card, after you receive it you can transfer all your balances from the high rate card
onto the new low rate card, and then your debts will be consolidated, and everything is brought down to the new low-rate...
Victim: Is there a fee?
Telemarketer: Yes there is a one time activation fee of only 385 dollars, however
we believe you will make the fee back, depending on your balances, by what you will save in interest...
Victim: How
am I protected?
Telemarketer: I will pass you to a verifer who will tape this call for your protection. Do you think
we would risk losing our status with credit card companies for a few hundred dollars?
Victim: Okay.
There
are over 70 of these low interest offices operating in Montreal, with billions of dollars connecting to legitimate business
and government tax revenues. The leads are suspect, many stamped with names of other offices. One boss has 12 offices, shifting
between various locations every few months.
Credit Card Protection is a parallel scheme, which offers insurance to
American consumers, then utilizes all the card numbers a second time, by passing them along to low interest offices! The victim
is milked and squeezed and turned over and over.
AMERICANS MUST TALK TO ONE ANOTHER.

Sample script for business directories:
It should be noted that most honest people in Montreal telemarketing work one time or another at business
directories.
They do this because they believe this is an honest sales turning on an implied suggestion that the corporation
may have taken the book before. With large companies, this is certainly probable.
However, though 85 - 90% of the staff are kept to an honest line, another secretive part of the office works
with established contacts and bends every rule to send out
more books in your three year subscription, sir
just take this last book and you will be through with your subscription
you have to take this because your predecessor ordered it
the book has been printed with name in it and you have to take it
you have to pay at least part of the charge because your name is in it
I worked briefly one summer in Customer Service so I learned in a half-way what the top sellers had said to
these people; I held records at my desk delineating the freakishly high amounts of books and money passing through a few choice
salespeople working at the Mysterious End of the office.
Excepting a few famous quality directories, these books are dogs, boring and more boring, and no one ever
really wants them, except libraries and insurance companies.
There is almost no way to stop the damage once it starts except
1. never pay
2. remember they are threatening from another country
3. their so-called tapes can be easily created and spliced to say whatever they desire as legal proof
4. the collection departments of some Montreal telemarketing cheekily refer to themselves as Dun & Bradstreet,
so don't be scared by threats
5. look at your company as a military operation
refuse to take things at the shipping or purchasing entrance
refuse to pay at the paying department
and never give purchase or credit card numbers
The honest script is so simple a child could do it:
Sales person: Hello, I am calling to go over your information for the next edition of Boring Business
Directory.
Sales victim: Oh, are we in that?
Sales person: I have here as previous contact Gullible Fool.
Sales Victim: Gullible Fool has left.
Sales person: Now I will just put you down as our contact name.
Sales victim: Okay.
Sales person: Are you still at Busy Throughway, Any Town, USA.
Sales victim: Yes, we are.
Sales person: We will be billing as usual. You will receive the book first, and then the bill
follows - standard business procedure, madam. Our verification department will call you tomorrow just to confirm the
address again for shipping.
Sales victim: Gee, thanks.
Sales person: Have a nice day!
Sales victim: You too!
