I'm getting a lot of these lately. Perhaps their business is falling off.
My last guy gave me the same stupid line.
"Oh, so you aren't interested in increasing your income with Internet
business?" How lame can one get. Whoever wrote that script should
be drawn and quartered.
I just said. "No darlin', I just want you Internet lead pimps to get out of
the way so buyers can find me first".
No matter. They'll make some sales.
