Called my cell phone in mid-July, 2015. The male caller asked for me by name even though I did not recognize the number. I heard a bunch of noise in the background and the guy hung up. Never said who he was or where he was calling from. I blocked the number after that.
Behind a phone many of these telemarketers act very tough and get sassy and lippy like you say. I bet in person they would never be so bold lest they get knocked on their prissy little rear ends and clocked in their fat mouths. They would likely quiver in the fetal position after we clock them in the face a few times. LOL
