That is genius!

Update:

LOL, someone reported me to, err, me... The first report I have ever had!

Seems I have to clarify.

All junk calls I get, are either not legal under PECR, or actually fraudulent. I am assuming this is the nature of this call. If not, then not so funny.

I have zero sympathy for someone that works for criminals. Arguing that the only job you can get is working for criminals does not justify it. Sorry. But that is my free speech opinion.

So I won't be suspending myself.

@revk I'm not sure you understand how much stress this person has put on a delocalized worker, who's already alienated in normal conditions, having to follow a route made by white collar workers. He may have a family to feed and he isn't the problem himself. He may have been fired, or at best he's lost an hour of paid labor while fearing losing his job, in great distress.

This is only funny for ignorant people, and there's arguably racism in that. Do better.

Maybe I can't read, but the topic here is not skin colour, nationality or race - not even close...
So, I don't see the racism issue

@Nangpa @revk Because this kind of call center is often abroad, and because the call operators are often PoC.

You're doing the same broad assumptions as the far-right do, with zero knowledge of circumstances.
Illegal business -> POC? Really?

@tyx @revk @Nangpa I'm telling you that white people (at least where I live, in France) do this association. We call a category of these scammers "les brouteurs" (I'm saying this because an anthropology journal at my town library has published a paper mentioning Nigerian brouteurs); I hear white people referring to other white people on Facebook/Instagram driving them mad as if it was a good joke.

What do you think? I've spent an entire day replying to people about this. I'm not doing this for internet points; most of my posts are French-speaking anyway.

@tyx @revk @Nangpa FYI, I've got 2 new followers today. I don't spend 6 hours on my computer for 2 new followers, I have blog posts to write

Ok, your goal was not a discussion, but throwing moral supremacy claims around. I'll spare you some minutes then.
