That's really messed up.I really don't know. What surprised me was how openly the company operated: They didn't really hide what they were doing and even had a decent grade with the Better Business Bureau for a little while. Like, they didn't conduct themselves as if they were conducting an illegal enterprise and it was eventually business failings and not the legal system that brought them down.
But you're right, they were scamming people. The sales guys would say anything: You have hackers on your computer, you have viruses and your system is about the shut down permanently, your Windows is corrupted and must be fixed or you'll lose all your data. . . They didn't give a fuck.
The sales office was in India, but I always pictured something that was kind of like the movie Boiler Room.
What kind of career in film are you hoping to get?
