Be glad you only get the calls; pray that one of these scum call centers doesn’t move into your neighborhood.
A couple did move in my former neighborhood and I saw years of crime, gang activity, DUI/DWI driving running up on the grass/over landscaping/almost hitting another business building, break-ins, vandalism, drugs, drug distribution, drug deals, on the job hard liquor/drugs/weed consumed. I lost count how many times I was almost run down in the parking lot missed by mere inches as well as other neighboring business owners and their employees. I also ran into former call center employee’s stories of being victimized/bullied on the job and was even victims of crime from the very place they worked at.
For years I watched police, Sherriff, fire dept. unmarked cruisers, paramedics and ambulances visiting this call center because of warrants (including federal), ODs, crime etc. At one point with the other call center across street we watched daily visits by ambulances carting workers out of gurneys, shoot - sometimes twice a day! All of the surrounding business had almost daily cleanup of their properties of booze bottles, trash, food and sometimes drug paraphernalia.
My attempts to do something about the criminal activity over the years only ended up with being threatened physical harm, my boss and I was threatened when I tried to start a neighborhood watch with the other frustrated business owners, and a few years ago I finally convinced city council to send Code Enforcement out - to my surprise nothing was officially found wrong. Then the call center owner called my boss and tricked him in giving up my name by saying the city already given up my name. Next thing is I get a threat letter sent to my home that the call center is going to sue me and my work. Then I found out that they could actually win the lawsuit because I tried for years to get something done about the crime, turns out that’s considered harassment and profiling. Also I found out my umbrella insurance doesn’t cover harassment lawsuits!! Even the frustrated police officers hands were tied, they could not camp out on the call center’s lot to prevent the crime because the city could be sued for profiling. On top of that one of the problem call centers somehow obtained an A business rating!!!
After 6+ years of dealing with the crime these calI centers brought into my former neighborhood, I sold my house and moved out of town. Even my work moved to get away from the crime.....
