OK - back to the discussion. There is no easy or direct way to tell if a telemarketer is part of a fraud or legitimate.
One basic factor that is necessary to most fraud, however, is that a fraudster will usuall ask for a quick resolution. The fraudster wants an answer NOW. The reason, of course, if obvious. If the mark has time to consider the situation, he may get outside advice, he may change his mind, he may review the situation on the internet, etc. The faster a deal is "closed," the better the chances of the fraudster winning.
Therefore with a telemarketing call, the key here may be to see just how quickly the telemarketer wishes to "close." If the telemarketer refuses to let you "think about it" or constantly applies pressure, there is a question of just how sincere is the offer.
