It ain't what ya do...*

Anyone had calls from people in foreign countries who want to either a) scam you, b) make an account for you, despite the fact that you're never going there, or c) give you a holiday, so long as you call an expensive premium telephone line?

If you know what the business is called, you look it up in this updated dictionary-encyclopedia thing, and it will give you ways of getting rid of them, that could be plausible, and they'd leave you alone, preferably for a long time.

eg, A friend of mine keeps on getting these calls from some dance group, who ask you where some dance was invented, and either way you answer, they say 'you've won a prize! So long as you buy this, this and those dance classes, you'll get the rest free!', and if you look it up in the little reference book, and it will say something like 'this group is a scam, tell them to go away, threaten them with legal action, or, as one of our subscribers put it, tell them that you have no legs, and how could they be so cruel as to give dance lessons to people with no legs?

Of course, you could think these ideas yourself, but sometimes, it's fun to have a reminder that there are squillions of phoney businesses out there, and you can get rid of them all...

Permanently.

... And that's what gets results!!...
