Matthew is such a telespammer, he called me four times from the football game last night to tell me what he was doing.

telepalmer

The new, more genuine, folksier alternative to a teleprompter. Consists of writing notes on the palm of your hand, then consulting them while delivering a speech on national television.
"The telepalmer? I think she did it on purpose. I think she did it on purpose, yeah. Because it’s the exact opposite of reading off the teleprompter with a script written for you with every word in a sentence. Here she’s just taking crib notes on her hand. It makes her look like she can just talk off the cuff and she just jotted down a few couple notes before she went out to give a big long speech."

Telescammer

A telescammer is someone who will call you constantly, claiming to be from big companies (such as the Microsoft, tax office, your ISP or bank, etc) in the hopes of tricking you into divulging your personal details such as bank numbers, social security numbers or tax file numbers - which they will often use to steal money or set up accounts in your name. Many of these telescammers run out of Indian call centres.
"Ugh I am so sick of these telescammers, calling daily and saying they are from Microsoft and want to fix my PC".
