I liked the new HBO documentary mini-series "Telemarketers" a lot. It's a great example of how to center a story on exploited and/or marginalized people rather than the rich & powerful. It's funny, infuriating, and ultimately heartwarming. I did not expect it to be as compelling as it was.

So I wrote about it here: patreon.com/posts/telemarketer

Y'all may like the documentary series "Telemarketers" on HBO Max. It's about corrupt cops and scam AI robocalls, from former telemarketers within the scheme who became journalists.

I feel like we’d be best served by shutting down the phone system in the US permanently.

Someone created an -powered designed to dupe and into thinking they’re speaking with a real person — and then wasting as much of their time as possible.

3/ He responded that he’s not calling from Australia, but they’re using a VOIP line.

I continued to press. I asked why Singtel, Singapore’s largest telco, is using an Australia VOIP line to call their customers?! I then suggested that they need to try a bit harder when they want to scam their customers to at least make it more plausible.

He hung up. 😂

2/ He proceeds to tell me that some “foreign users” are using my “Internet line”. If they do anything illegal, I would be held liable. He nicely asked if I would like to purchase some security product he was selling.

I asked why he was calling me from an Australia number if he was from Singtel.

1/ Ah,.. phone scams… Why do I still answer calls from strange numbers? They can be entertaining! I just got a call from a +61 (Australia) number, and the guy on the other end of the line, with a rather strong accent, claimed he was from “Singtel’s Technical Department” and was calling about my “Internet Line”.

First red flags… we don’t use “Technical Department” here, nor do we refer to our broadband as “Internet Line”. But I digress!
