No worries, the debt collectors have also been laid off.

I just saw a news report that says International Monetary Experts expect the Global Economy to come to a complete halt. If this happens they estimate up to 51 million more job losses worldwide in the year ahead ...

Just heard Starbucks are laying off 5000 workers, Microsoft 30,000 - 35,000, and a few more that I can't recall atm, a lot of Aussie companies are downsizing too. They expect our unemployment rate to go from 4% up to 8%

I know of at least one company using that, and WOW is it an annoying recording

and it goes a lil something like this....

This call is for dough, john if you are not dough, john please hang up now, by continuing to listen to this message you confirm you are dough, john, this message is an attempt to collect a debt, etc etc etc

Funny thing, I did sit and listen to the entire thing, no "hold for operator" no "call this number" just a note over and over again that the call was ONLY for Dough, John, and that they were trying to collect a debt.

and the winning company is..... Vonage
