Comment The Largest Offender (Score 0) 67
Telemarketing or phone sales companies use this criminal tactic as a norm. There has to be a huge governmental corruption that has caused these companies to get away with this theft for decades. Not only do they get away with the independent contractor scam, they also steal from the public with very little fear of law enforcement bothering them. Of the tens or hundreds of thousands of phone sales outfits only about 12 per year face federal prosecution.
