Recording of Recently Shut-Down Telemarketers In Action

An anonymous reader writes "Just yesterday, the FTC, in conjunction with other government agencies, shut down an international telemarketing scam. A recent video has surfaced showing them in action, trying to scam one of the principals of a Canadian web start-up. Watch the scammers lie through their teeth to convince their 'victim' that he needs to buy a lifetime subscription to their anti-virus product."

Of course there are exceptions. Not many, and I wouldn't suggest not assuming that any given one is a scammer until proven otherwise, but "scamming" does necessitate a certain amount of deception. Simply asking somebody if they would like to buy something and respecting the supplied answer does not.
