Why do you want to have fun with a customer service rep? Are you bigoted
against Indians or Asians?

I have talked to many people from the US or overseas, and I find them both
to be equally unqualified to help.

Many collectors and ship models and boat models enthusiasts approach
our store for beautiful exclusive hand built model ships from scratch.

This spam reads almost exactly like the
offshore outsourced English speakers talk when you dial a help desk these
days.

My wife and I have some fun with these people. When we are sure we've got
India, or some other Asian country when we dial for help or product
information, we ask, "By the way, where are you?" They're reluctant to
give a
straight answer.

"I'm in the HP assistance to customer center."

"Yes, yes, but where is that?"

"We're on the ground floor of a new office building, about 200 meters,
pardon
me I mean yards, from the railway depot."

"In what city?"

"Our home base for the assistance to customer center."

"Your English is very convincing, but you construct your sentences too
carefully to be a native speaker. What country are you in, please?"

"Your tollfree call has been directed to our
international assistance to customer office in New Delhi.........."
