Outsourced


Just as I thought I was "winning", they keep calling me back...

Local time: 9:30 pm

"Jennifer": May I speak to Racnaroth Cryptopeles?
Me: Who?
Jennifer: *giggles* Am I pronouncing that correctly?
Me: Sure, if you're looking for Racnaroth Cryptopeles.
Jennifer: We need a moderate payment of 1.50.
Me: If I pay a "moderate" one dollar fifty you'll stop calling me?
Jennifer: *GIGGLES HYSTERICALLY* Noooooooooou!!! A payment of $150 is needed.
Me: You realize that I cancelled your services 3 months ago?
Jennifer: *typing*
Me: Where are you calling from?
Jennifer: St. Louis, Ohio.
Me: They moved St. Louis to Ohio? No wonder...
Jennifer: *click*

Sigh.

      Why can't call centers call us with great quotes?

    Do they teach American geography in schools in India?

      Not in the curriculum training script class.
      Pronouncing our last names might be a start.

    Racnaroth sounds like he could be related to you. Maybe you should look him up.

      Good thinking! I should. Does he have a broadsword, crossbow or portal gun?

      Yeah. Sure. But in RL I can't lug all of that.
      A portal gun however could send them to China.
      Hmmm...*raises eyebrow, pets cat*

    Hubby has found a new response for the "hello...I am calling about a problem on your computer" people..
    he says.. "I don't have a computer"
    "ah you have laptop then?"..
    he then says, "I don't have a laptop..."..
    ..."Oh... well F**K off then!" *CLICK!*

    This "Jennifer" person sounds hot! You should have taken her number. Oh wait, she already has yours.

    I'm a little perplexed over all the giggling. Was that some form of a diversion tactic? You should have asked her the success rate of this scam.

      Probably a high success rate. Irritating, because I canceled them 3 months ago, so they would have my number.
      Makes for a lazy post when I don't have time to write.:)
