The president of GlobalCenter/Primenet said they did. I don't know if you heard him correctly, so I will relay the story that I was told, just in case you didn't understand. The fact is, Primenet contracted an outside company to Poll a random group of Primenet customers with a Quality Assurance Survey for Primenet customers only. They did not try to Sell them anything nor did they try to Market anything to the customers that they called. I was further told that the one and only reason that Primenet went to an outside company for this Survey was because the sample they wanted was too big to be done by "in-house" staff. Primenet did not Sell any information to this company nor will the company retain this information. >> I find it hard to believe that a national company with over 50,000 >> customers would stoop to such a low as some of these boiler room >> companies as to sell name lists to telemarketing firms. >You're assuming when you use the term "sell name lists." I don't think >that's what happened at all. Unfortunately though, the information wound >up in the mitts of the telemarketing agency nevertheless. So, in closing, I just wanted to politely ask you, Charlie, to please in the future choose your words carefully, they may get you into trouble someday. I also hope that in the future you learn the whole story before spreading about missinformation. It only makes you look foolish in front of everyone. >Charlie McCann >-- Have a pleasant day!!!
