Hear telemarketer browbeat consumer

A caller who says he works for Third Tier Financial tries to persuade Jerry Trowbridge, a retired journalist and blogger, to enter his personal information on a website so he can collect $1,500 that he claims is being offered to taxpayers.

We won't beg you to receive this money." Click to listen to one exchange between the caller and Trowbridge.
