I was told I was signing up for a customer service intake call center for credit card activations. I was instructed to wear only professional business attire, no cursing, and was told to "Read the script, the whole script, and nothing but the script". They even have those exact words pasted at every wall in the building.
Before accepting employment every person has to sign a form agreeing to be reduced to $5.15 an hour if they quit before giving two weeks notice. I had worked 72 hours when I found out the place had gotten busted by the feds and that we were all running a credit card scam. I was homeless and needed to not get busted down to 5.15. I needed shelter. The script is ran by you so fast that even us operators did not realize the caller would be charged $200 a month whether they used the cards or not.
On my last day there, I was called into the manager's office and was blasted for not properly reading just the script to customer's acivating the cards. I purposely did this because all call are recorded and when the person who just got scammed takes them to court they will get the money back because the call was not conducted within legal standards. Imagine that, I was in trouble for scamming the scammers. Well, hopefully everyone that I signed up will get their money back. The best way to avoid the scam is to just hang up the phone. The only way the card can be activated is if the operators can talk you into giving up your checking account numbers. And even after that, the deal isn't a deal until those number off the back of the approval letter are given up too. No operator has those numbers, and without them your money stays in your bank account. They have daily bonuses for the operator with the most deals, what a sad, evil scam. Everyone should gang up on the phone lines and shut down at least the phone calls; here is the direct number; 702-892-3551. Don't hold yourself to blame, they are professionals at talking you into a bad deal. OK, you got scammed, but don't let them get away with it. Report to Fcc, and FBI - they got them busted once and will do it again.
