hmmm…..
Most of us want people to know who we are. We usually take pride in the fact that so many people might know our name. One of the beauties of small town living is that everyone knows your name. But what if we didn’t want people to know who we were? What if we were disguising our name and attempting to pretend we were someone else?
Telemarketing companies are getting more and more clever. They now have a way of identifying themselves on your caller id as being a different name than their actual one. For example, they identify themselves as the I.R.S. or the F.B.I. Now, I would be immediately suspicious of that identity on my caller ID, but I guess lots of folks aren’t, because it seems to be working. People seem to be answering those calls. The Federal Trade Commission has filed suit against one of the telemarketers that identifies itself as a fake company and more are soon to follow.
How sad is it that a company or organization is so ashamed of their name and their product that they have to disguise it in order to sell it? If you weren’t proud of the company you worked for, and had to deny your own personal integrity to continue to draw a paycheck, it would be a tragic day indeed. I guess as it draws closer to Thanksgiving, a gratitude I can have is that I am proud to say the name of the organization I work for. And I can pray for those who don’t have that privilege.
