I went with the one idea I read about once, when a young lady called and told me the long distance service she was representing was going to give me five cents a minute.
I asked when the checks would start arriving, and would it be weekly checks or monthly.
She said "what?".
I said since they were giving me five cents a minute, I figured that worked out to about 3 dollars an hour, about 72 dollars a day, about 500 dollars a week. When would the checks start arriving.
She stammered and said "we arent giving you money".
I pointed out that that was exactly what she told me. "we are going to give you five cents a minute".
During the next few minutes I asked if she was trying to pull some kind of fraud on me, calling and lieing to me, I wanted to start getting the money and soon, and if I didnt I would file a complaint with the Attorney General of my state.
It was fun, I finally let her off the hook, I was amused and she was confused.
