ooh that reminds me .. there is a good scam going in the US .. you
run a 'Investment information telephone service' .. which charges ~250
dollars a minute ... so obviously no one will use it .. so you send a
bloke in a van round to every $BIG_CORP you can find with a parcel to be
signed for by non existent person, personally. Since the person doesn't
exist the guy asks the receptionist if he can use a phone to call back to
the office ...... apparently the number of $BIG_CORPs with unrestricted
phone access at the reception desk makes this very worthwhile.
