Oh Joy! International telemarketing calls!
Just got my third telemarketer call today - all three have been from India. Earnest young voices talking from the bottom of a well, imploring me to meet with their company's CEO who just so happens to be on his way to California right now!
Oh Joy - VOIP telemarketers. Just what I need after beating down the homegrown time wasters, we have a huge new pack of time biters to fend off.
By the way, I'm in no way discriminating against Indians or India or Indian IT companies: I hate any company stupid enough to think I would ever do business with them after they waste my time, regardless of where they are based.
Now I'm wondering, today it was 3 calls. What if tomorrow it's 5? or 25? or 125?
Groan.
This particularly odious form of spam even has it's own odious acronym: SPIT (SPam over Internet Telephony).
Me, I tell them that I was just investigating that technology for a new project but since we have a policy of not buying from cold callers I'm removing their solution from the shortlist.
