My phone rings and it's Earthlink. They've been calling for weeks, but I haven't been answering the phone. So I finally answer just to get them to stop calling!
This Middle Easterner is on there, thick accent, and his name is Greg... Yeah, right! Anyway, he asks, "is this Mr.XXXX?", I say no it is not. Actually that was my grandfather who died over 30 years ago!
Anywho, he apparently didn't understand that bit of english and continued on with his sales pitch. He was selling digital phone service through Earthlink and said he could give me a better deal than Comcast, who just took over operations in my area from Time Warner.
I have cable TV, internet and phone through the same company. He asked how much I paid for all that. I told him and he acted like I was paying this outrageous amount of money.... I am really at $200 a month, but it could be worse.
He starts telling me that for a limited time I could get the phone for $24.95 a month... A few mins later I asked how much I'd be paying after the limited time. Nothing he said it will never increase... Hmm, doesn't sound limited to me.
So, in order to get the phone for that price I'd also have to switch internet... NOT going to happen... And I could change my cable TV back to Time Warner and get a lower price.
He then called me "Mr.XXXX" again and it pissed me off after I specifically said that's not who I am. Not only that, since my grandfather died many years ago he was never even a cable customer with any company!
I interrupt him ask him where he's calling me from. He said, "Atlanta, Georgia"... Hmmm... Ok, so I ask. Cool I know people there. What part of Texas is Atlanta in? He pauses and says excuse me? I said you're in Atlanta, Georgia right? He said yes. Well what part? Southern or Northern Texas?
Ummm... Uhhh... I said, go ahead, I 'll hold on while you look it up, "Greg".
This whole time I can hear people in the background talking...Definitely not Georgians back there... Dude comes back a quick few seconds later and says, Mr.XXXX Atlanta is located in Georgia, not Texas...
I said no shit Habib and India isn't in Georgia either! Then hung up.
They know people don't want them calling and when asked where they are they know they'll get hung up on for saying India, so now they lie!
