Reptiles in business suits

So I show up at this meeting for CDL Services -- turns out the attendant had gotten the name wrong, they are based out of Portland, OR. It was in a room with about 30 very old people. The presenter at the front had an overhead projector and was running through filling out the paperwork and guiding them (if you don't remember this, just put a check mark in the box). The use of the overhead was brilliant as that was technology the people would be familiar and feel comfortable. A powerpoint presentation with a video projector would have alienated them. I had my Canon G11 around my neck operating in Video record mode so I'll see what I got later tonight. I also had a small voice recorder running as the camera doesn't do sound that well. I stood in the doorway for about 30 seconds and a somewhat younger guy (very muscular) in a business suit blocked my view of the proceedings and asked what I was doing. I replied that my Dad had been called by these people and that he was specifically on the Federal do-not-call list. The bouncer walked me out, handed me a business card and told me to call the number on the card. I will be doing this tomorrow. I will post more including the name of business and whatever else I can dig up -- people like this should not be predating on the elderly and infirm. Posted by DaveH at March 17, 2010 6:56 PM
