I work for this company as well. And if you actually listen to what people are saying when the call you you would understand. There is NO obligation to buy anything, it is simply a courtesy call. We get our numbers from the major list brokers who provide us with the number of those who carry one or more of the major debt or credit card holders.
We are not asking for your credit card information - simply if you HAVE one of these cards. In addition to your entry into the sweepstakes, we do offer you some magazines - which is not a bad offer, you get 4 magazines, a catalog which allows you to CHANGE these magazines as often as you wish, plus a free diamond watch which is real. You're basically getting all this for the price of ONE magazine. So why wouldn't we offer it to you.
The majority of people who I speak to accept this offer, and have had no complaints and have even extended their services after the 60 months.
As for not calling from Draper Utah - I'm pretty sure I know where I live ...... We call from a local number so that you do not get charged long distance fees. The long distance fees are purely on us. Not you.
Just because they find loopholes to pay people for doing this does not mean it isn't a SCAM, likewise, just because people that work for them very well could be convinced that what they are doing is legit, does not mean that it is. I asked for specific information and the 'supervisor' kept talking about what he was offering and completely ignored questions he didnt have an answer to. However, when I asked a question that he had a prerehearsed response to, he was happy to give me his analogy of magazines to ordering pizza. I wanted to either get mailed a catalog for verification of legitimacy and to see what other magazines I could get besides the dumb three that i was offered for being a guy, and he flat out said no, we dont rights to do that. I asked him why if he can send out a catalog WITH someone's subsciption why couldn't he send out a catalog WITHOUT a subscription and he said 'you dont order pizza and tell them you aren't going to pay until you get it' hahahahahaha, i said that's interesting because two days ago I had pizza hut deliver and didn't pay them until the delivery person showed up at my door with the pizza!!!
So I grilled the guy and spent almost 25 minutes on the phone with him to hassle him and props for not hanging up, but at the same time ignoring things I say and repeating the same bs youve already said three times isn't helping your case. I told him if he couldn't send me a catalog before giving him my money then we need to end the conversation. He said 'their system isn't set up to do that' and I said ok, I appreciate your time but no thanks. HE LAUGHED AND HUNG UP!!! What kind of salesperson laughs at customers and hangs up without saying anything. Salespeople know that you are going to be told no more than yes, and to be respectful and appreciative regardless of a sale or not. He was well rehearsed with bs answers that hopefully wouldn't fool a twelve year old
It's too bad that cellular numbers became public legislation recently - gave a dying out breed of scammers a new breath of life and made the general public that much more irritable throughout their daily ventures. I really really hope someone gets a chuckle from me writing this and that every single person who answers one of these jokers calling asks a hundred questions and never ever stops until the caller hangs up when they realize the fruitlessness of their efforts, or someone you know is trying to call.
WHAT BOTHERS ME THE MOST ABOUT ALL THIS IS THAT THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL ENOUGH AND GOOD ENOUGH AT DOING THIS AND FINDING LOOPHOLES AND EVADING THE LAW BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS FOR SMALLER INDIVIDUALS TO GET ANYWHERE AGAINST A WELL FINANCIALLY BACKED ENTITY. BUT THEY WOULDNT HAVE BECOME SO GOOD AT IT OR BECAME SUCH AN ENTITY OF PEOPLE STOPPED BEING IDIOTS!!!!
I understand having a telemarketing job, it is a hard job, and I was very kind to the person on the other line, but if you don't like the promotion and felt you were forced into it, call 18667175628. It's the customer service, they will take care of everything.
