most ..scumbags in canada come from The USA and work from across the border this is what I have seen...canadians are far and away more ethical than American Shysters created right here in the bowels of Wall Street..

hmmm.. I agree that we shouldnt label Canadians as all being sleazy criminals, but at the same time I cant believe you would actually say that anyone stupid enough to fall for some of these gimmicks deserves it.. Thats heartless and cold.. I make my living 100% from phone sales. Now of course, I sell memory modules to respectable distributors, and its far from a boiler room.. in fact its a fantastic living and alot less stress than wallstreet.. but one thing I learned 20 years ago that very few people point out about these telephone scams is that I would guess that about 90% of the people you call via telephone have difficulty doing business over the phone.. In fact, I have seen this on all levels, from the old lady in her 80s, to an executive at Exxon.. You eliminate the face to face sales.. and most people rely on appearance.. what kind of suit is the salesman wearing? how is his hair? teeth? Over the phone, you need to learn how to focus 100% on the facts.. whats being said.. whats not.. buzzwords... anyhow- my point is, not everyone is as incredible as yourself and has the ability to weed out the truth from the scams.. so I guess they deserve to be thrown into the cold since they are the weaker links? After all the years I spent on S/I, to this day it simply amazes me the crap that is typed out on these threads.. Very sad..
