The phone just rang. I picked it up and got a heavily-accented, probably Pakistani or Indian, voice said “Hello Kenneth (the immediate tip-off that this is a BS call – no one I know ever calls me Kenneth), how are you today”?
I asked “What can I do for you?”, and the voice, for some reason re-starting his script, said “Hello Kenneth”, to which I broke in and again asked “What can I do for you?”
The voice said “I am Charles Smith from United States Health Initiatives….” at which point I summarily hung up.
Charles Smith. Ok, sure.
The only reason “Charles” lasted that long was that I wanted to hear the name of the company being touted, so I could pass it along in case you get a similar BS call.
