Telemarketing Irritates Lubbock Housewives in Sample Sales Pitch
Lubbock residents complain of telephone sales calls during meals as Interboro Survey Corp pitches prizes like a $5,000 car and Bermuda vacation. Tom Watson of the Better Business Bureau notes some calls are legitimate while others resemble boiler rooms. He advises skepticism and warns that most offers hide costs and pressure sales, with women like Mrs. Klatchit eventually pressured into demonstrations and purchases.
