Today at around 4:00 pm I get a call from one Mr. Alex from Bangalore and here is how the phone conversation happened.
The office phone rings. I look at the incoming call’s number – External. This is usually true for all calls originating outside the campus.
Myself – Web support, this is Binoy
Alex – Hello, Good evening. This is Alex. I am calling to find out if you would like to do business with us. We can take care of all your IT related activities. We have excellent facilities at our Bangalore center and we are in a position to provide you with the highest quality… (All this is spoken in ‘American’ accent. He was pretty good but his pronunciation of ‘facilities’ gave him away. Mention of Bangalore center confirmed his ruse)
Myself – So what is this about?
Alex – Do you want to outsource your IT related processes?
Myself – No yaar! I don’t want to lose my job!!
Alex – Thank you. (Line gets disconnected abruptly….)
hehe! desperate times need desperate measures;)

Do these guys get outsourced work like this !!!! Frustrated souls they are it seems… no surprise if the americans at times get pushed to the limit of disgust.
