I can kind of get the logic behind this if you were an overseas call center. If you're already based in the US, why lie? I can't imagine why a call center would think being located in CA instead of OR would make the slightest difference.

You can't fathom why claiming LA for a talent agency would legitimize more than Orgun? 🤔
