Dial-usion
I overheard my coworker’s phone conversation at work:
Coworker: *Answering phone.* “[Our place of business], this is [Coworker], how may I help you?”
Pause.
Coworker: “This is [our place of business]? We’re financial advisers.”
Pause.
Coworker: “Who were you looking to speak with?”
Pause.
Coworker: “Ma’am, you called ME. We did not call you.”
Pause.
Coworker: “Ma’am, you haven’t given me your name yet. How could I have called you if I don’t even know who I’m speaking to?”
Pause.
Coworker: “I am not a scammer—YOU called US.”
The lady hangs up.
The phone rings again!
It’s her again. She’s still insisting that we called her.
