Next time someone with a thick Indian accent calls and says his name is Tim Johnson (or other American sounding name) from AT&T Call Center (or other corporate giant), ask him what city he is calling from. The reaction is interesting; they are obviously forbidden to tell the truth about their name or location.

Sure is. "I'm not allowed to give out that information due to security reasons." Yeah, right. He was outted by a gal from the same company but working within the good ol' US of A.

I either get lies about Canada, or about South America. In 3 calls to Directv, I asked.. all different answers. One said Canada, one SA, and one said he couldn't say.

What a joke this is. I'm utterly appalled at the service with this stuff. I pay an outrageous amount for Directv, and they send me to these guys. I need to write the corporate office.
