Well, I told the nice lady that it seemed too good to be true, she said if she had a nickel for every time she'd heard that she'd be rich. Well, they're $211 richer and I'm that much poorer and I'd like to get my hands around her sweet little throat. Pity the next poor telemarketer that has the misfortune of calling my number!

I know I should be old enough to know better, and Dave Ramsey would be angry if he knew one of his listeners had signed up for a credit card, but I bit on this one. Never talk to telemarketers, EVER,EVER,EVER!

Too all of you who have lost - Employees of " direcTEL " have a message for you

First thing first, I feel it only appropriate you have some form of background on a great company - gone " bad " . I began employment in 2000. We were a sister company to the once financially troubled " Z-tel ".

Employees were treated fairly the product was good ( local/long distance service, and was a publicly traded company ) We enjoyed a very healthy wage, great benifits and took pride in the fact that we were helping people save money everyday with a service they used daily. That all changed when we caught wind of financial difficulties with " Z-tel " and the company was bought by " Websmart Interactive ". Some smooth talking, from various members of this " Websmart Interactive " led us to believe we were in good shape , there was still money to be made and that there was plenty of business.

I never thought it would've come to this. We ( as a core group, from reps, to trainers, to supervisors to janitors ) were duped into believing that this " Global Financial " was a credit restoration company and that in effect we were " helping " rebuild credit which in turn would help better their lifestyles.
And yes , yes it seemed to good to be true , but I mean who would've honestly thought you could con 200 people at the same time, I mean realistically we had no reason not to believe them , our concerns seemed to be addressed daily and nothing at all pointed to this being as big as it is.

TO ALL POTENTIAL / and CURRENT CUSTOMERS OF GLOBAL FINANCIAL CUSTOMERS : I would like to extend my sincerest apologies. I know it is of no consolation, please understand that at least in the canadian call center - Saskatoon - 200 hundred people were put out of work as they immediately " ceased opperations " when they couldn 't handle what is now appearing to be a legal backlash.

People with families ( such as myself ) are left just as you are, no money , no hope , and no promise of recieving there final paychecks which in my case was well over 2000 $. We have all learned a lesson from this. And on behalf of myself I am truely sorry for your loss and hope in time you will recieve what is coming to you by way of check or cash refunded to you by this " Global Financial ".

If that is not the case may i recommend at least that you have the best possible legal representation possible : go to www.lamontlaw.com - email John , he'll steer you in the right direction , otherwise let your friends and family , Attorney General , CongressMan/Woman or anyone else who listen know that " Buzz" doesn t care that you lost your 221.95 $ - in fact he gleefully sits in what I am sure is a lovely home in North Dakota awaiting for the remainder of your checks to be processed so that he may continue the lifestyle he has become accustom to - Now ... I need to, as well as the other 600 ( entire staff that was terminated ) plan our new lifestyle , one that includes waiting for either - Unemployment to kick in - social services emergency assistance , or finding new accomadations as this late in the month means - some were left out on thier a$$, without so much as a crumb of what was owing to them. - God bless all of you , and too Buzz and John , and dont worry noone has forgotten about you DINO - You will get what is rightfully yours, hopefully ( and God-willing ) a lengthly prison sentence.
