There are so many telephone scams that attempt to take advantage of the vulnerable and less educated it is epidemic. Health insurance, extended warranties, title insurance and job search services

Outsourcing (near shoring) is big business in the DR.
So are call center scams.
There's a thin line between the two.
Over a decade in the industry here.
I've seen it all.

I know many companies have overseas offices, but I always found/find it difficult to communicate with them. They pretty much read straight from a script and really are not aware of the various nuisances for each state.

In my case, add to that my hearing loss. Dealing with offshore customer service can be extremely difficult for me!

And, that is after modifications to my phone to make it easier for me to hear the caller.

It is a good thing that I had some academic Spanish when I moved to the DR. One of the first things I figured out to say was "Más despacio, por favor. Tengo problema de audición y no puedo entender cuando alguien habla rapidamente." Typically kind Dominicans always always slowed down for me.

Just curious, but can you use lentamente and despacio interchangeably?

I've always used despacio, not sure about the words being interchangeable.

The outbound phone call model is without a doubt the lowest common denominator of the marketing world business model and employees are generally talentless, low-IQers with the highest turnover rates of any modern job position aside from street level drug dealer. Most of these people are calling from a quiet room of their home, earning a whopping 3 to 5 dollars per hour. They are not sending their best. Most businesses that have any sort of even remotely savvy leadership have moved away from this FTC pet peeve model towards the modern digital marketing world of visual IVR, chat and SMS. If you look close enough, in the Dominican, you can find these antiquated contact center facilities (those that haven't figured out the remote model) where they are staffed by the lowest common denominator of customer service “phone agents”, mostly deportees whose English was learned in the ghettos of cities such as Boston, NYC and Washington DC. They can be found on their coffee breaks outside next to the dumpster smoking pot and tweaking from a Meth come-down.

I am still trying to figure out who would even consider taking a phone call from anyone trying to sell "credit repair". I guess if they make thousands of phones calls, they might find one lonely elderly person on the fringe of dementia who would listen.

Most of these folks are just trying to earn a paycheck as they return to the DR with no skills, no education (especially if coming from NYC) and more often than not, little family support as getting deported is frowned upon by most Dominicans. Common to hear them say "You had the opportunity of a lifetime and you screwed it up" however...
there is difinitely some truth to El Hijo's comment.

If OP post in the right place, he'll have no problem finding what he's looking for in Santiago.

Almost all expat jobs here require lowering one’s integrity somewhat. Sometimes requires lying to stay employed. Comes with the territory. Welcome to the DR.

There are plenty of employment opportunities for hard working people that want advancement that do not require shaking down people.

Yes, sadly enough. The FTC has been trying for years to do away with these barbaric outbound telemarketing practices. They can't seem to pull it off. No self respecting American even wants to make these calls, no matter how bad they need a job. Companies have been forced to use 3 dollar/hr low IQ labor from the Philippines. Your comment reminds me of the Beehive flick. Fairly entertaining, but a sad and true deal nonetheless

What class of expat are you associating with? I guess if one is a mooch gen z-er surfs up bruh, and daddy and mummy cut the Cabarete puta and palm tree dream funds, you would be in a compromised predicament of having almost zero marketable skills, no hope of residency and even perhaps 6 or more arrests for drug possession. Normal human expats are a bit more prepared in life before relocating their lives.

I never deal with overseas customer service. I always ask to be transfered to a US representative whom I can understand.
One of my banks uses the Philippines but I won't deal them - and always get transferred
