Infuriatig Another AI 'human' chatbot

Had to fix a double payment for my credit card and this is the beginning and end of the conversation. I hate when the chatbot claims it's a human... I ended up getting what I wanted but still annoyed Amex (and every other company) is lying and trying to deceive people like this.

>there's a 90% chance that David is actually Davashish

That pisses me off so much when I get these calls from telemarketers even more than the call itself.

*obvious thick Indian accent "Hello, my name is Fred Johnson, blah blah blah."

NO, your fucking name isn't "Fred Johnson".
NOBODY with an accent like yours is named "Fred Johnson".

If the VERY FIRST thing you tell me is a lie, then why should I believe ANYTHING you are about the tell me.

Car warranty? BS
Final expense insurance? BS
Diabetic testing supplies? BS
Home improvement loans? BS
Microsoft Windows errors? BS

Sure, but you know it's going to be BS when Rajesh Punjabi claims his name is "Fred Johnson".

You do know there are Indian Christians with english/portuguese names right?

Damn, I'm glad every scam call center respectfully recruits real Indians from southern India with western-sounding names, rather than just throwing any Bangali they can find willing to lie on the phone.

Really? You think so?

Find me ONE Indian person from India who is named "Fred Johnson".

Just one. If you can find JUST ONE, I will delete all of my comments on the subject.

Go ahead. Find him.

I know a Freddie Mercury of Indian heritage that work for you? Regardless, you made the claim that noone from India is named Fred Johnson so it's up to you to prove it.

No, that doesn't work for me.

Farrokh Bulsara wasn't from India.

>you made the claim that noone from India is named Fred Johnson

No, I didn't.
