Last week I got a phone call from an Indian lady trying to sell me programming services. I said I was not interested, but I guess my accent sounded as difficult to her as hers did to me, as I had to repeat it twice before she hung up without saying goodbye.
I just assumed she called from India, but I’m not so sure anymore now. This morning I got a spam.. eh.. promotional email in my inbox from IPH, Indian Programmers in Holland. Offering programming services. On location. Like, *in my office*.
The email included a read receipt request. I declined. Will they be ringing my doorbell next?
Receiving calls from outsourcing companies are maybe part of their marketing strategies but there are still other options to market their company aside from calling the prospect client and email spamming.
You mean like blog comment spamming?
