S01E147: Just a bunch of Phonies! Cell Sales Scams with Kevin Smith!
Listen now
Description
This week Caitlin is joined by Scamspondant , resident Magician, and friend of the pod, Kevin Smith! Kevin shares his experience as a salesperson at a noted cell phone provider store, and all the cons involved. They discuss how a sales team is trained to lead the shopper into certain purchases and the emotional connection that gives each sales pitch an “X-Factor!” YUCK.  It’s interesting, it’s creepy, and it is probably going to save you a lot of money next time you need an upgrade.  Plus Kevin explains the easiest way to create a password that might be the most un-hackable option.  And guys here’s a Hot Tip: If you start talking to a salesperson for over 45 minutes you might end up marrying them!
