Devoted to the call center industry, the agents on the phones, and their managers

As I was going through my email, I received one from home.based.call.center.for.you at gmail dot com (actually a couple of the same one) that initially sparked my interest.  But, as I read on, skepticism replaced my enthusiasm.  It looked like a good deal but my gut feeling told me it wasn’t worth looking at.

So, here is what the email stated:

"Hi – Are you interested in working for a home based call center?  First, you will have to register with us and shall provide you with training and it will be about the product and services.   Once you are ready, we will give you a dialer to call prospective clients in the USA.  The telephone number and name will be provided and even pay for the telephone bills."

It goes on by telling you about the products and the detailed process.

Products – Pharmacy pills & Sprint PCS
Job – Offer plans and product
Earnings - $10 per sale and be sent every 15 days
Requirements – Send personal details and sign the contract

This is a classic telemarketing job and you might think it’s worth a try.

What turned me off was that you were to pay $20 for training and the dialer.  Okay, so they also said they were going to refund it if you get to book 10 orders in 10 days.  But, if this is your first time to do telemarketing, chances are you might not get any sale.  The training only spoke of orienting you on the product and not how to sell on the phone.  What’s worse is you’ve spent $20 and don’t get paid for the hours you spend until you get your first sale.

Bottom line – don’t get all too excited about offers like this.  I consider it as EMAIL SPAM.
