Just got a call from Corporations for Character
« on: December 22, 2015, 05:07:30 PM »
She said:  This is Amanda calling from Corporations for Character.  May I speak to the woman of the house?
I said:  "The woman of the house has no character." and hung up.

Wish I had stayed on a little longer and found out what they were schilling for.  I assume something political.  Now I will never know unless one of you has managed to listen long enough to find out.

You just spoke to a pre-recorded machine: http://cironline.org/reports/when-it-comes-fundraising-shes-machine-5546

They shill for several types of "charity" stuff - cancer and kid education/video junk. They've been fined several times from what I found on the interwebz.

I'm getting sick of these robo calls.  They try to pass off as being human, but The Tell is obvious - their English is too good!  If the recordings had some Indian accent and they sucked at grammar then I might believe it was a real person.  But perfect English?  I don't think so.
