Telemarketing, by and large, is a dead form of marketing anyhow. Millennials never answer the phone and rarely return voice mails; they'd rather have a text or email sent to them. I can see how senior citizens could be victim to this kind of thing, but everybody else...geez. This still happens in the 21st century?

When I said that this is a scam he changed his helpful demeanor and ended with a statement that they would be coming for me within 24 hours. I can see how an elderly person could be victimized by these crooks. This is a crime that I would like to see the state and federal government crack down on.

Good lord there are far too many gullible people in this world. Well obviously anyone who calls asking for money is a scam. Good lord there are far too many gullible people in this world.
