They can't answer simple questions like that or pronounce names properly because they...

1. Don't speak English as a first language
2. Are probably immigrants
3. Don't really give a crap who they talk to as long as someone falls for their scam.

Guy with thick accent calls- can barely understand him. Totally mispronounces name of person he was asking for, saying "Colin" instead of "Colleen". When I ask who is calling, he states "Donald", I ask from where and he replies with some long winded explanation, and I did not understand a WORD of it, so asked him again, "What company?" and he repeats it. Still not comprehendible, so I ask again, and he hangs up.
Here is a hint telemarketers who are bound to be reading these sites: Perhaps try and speak our language a little more clearly when you are calling to try and scam us. Learn to pronounce names correctly, and answer simple questions such as what company you are calling from.
