      The fact that the most depressing scenario is the one in which this is a real person means this is a real person.

        Modern telemarketing typically targets people with automated spam in the initial run and then redirects anyone who shows interest to a live individual on standby. This allows for a much higher rate of market saturation with a lower downstream labor cost.

        Of course, the consequence of this strategy is my phone blowing up ten times a day with robot messages asking me to Press 1 To Hear Our Special Offer. But since there's no cost associated with wasting my time, its the most profitable move.
