Telemarketers

A 14-year-old high school dropout and his colleague at a telemarketing firm raising money for various charities examine the company's dubious fundraising practices and the players behind their seemingly large-scale fraud.

In the wake of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) shutting down CDG in 2009, other copy-cat telemarketing companies pop up and evade regulation by taking advantage of loopholes. Undeterred, Sam and Pat continue down a wild and twisted path.

Sam and Pat reunite in the present day to continue their investigation, only to learn that telemarketing schemes are now even more brazenly opportunistic with the advent of robocalling, PACs and new technologies such as AI.
