Dun & Bradstreet, now *there's* a scam.


Definitely. They used to bug the crap out of me when I owned an
industrial electronics repair business. All they want is you money, and
the more tribute you pay, the more they praise your company. I told
them to shove it, and hung up every time they called.

I do the same, but more politely.


This was 25 to 30 years ago and polite never worked with their
telemarketers. You either signed up an paid or told them off. They
would stay on the phone for over an hour if you would let them. I
rarely had time to talk to them, and only one phone line. I lost
business because they wouldn't shut up. A couple times I told them I
was busy and waiting for a call and hung up. They would call right back
and keep using their high pressure crap to try to get their commission.



Just curious, what high pressure tactics? You have the money they have
no leverage?


Don't tell me you've never run into a money hungry high pressure
salesman who will tell you anything to make a sale. They were as bad as
the Wall Street Journal.
