Once you "just pay the postage", they have your account information and start running through larger charges.

I got a phone call from these people and they asked the same thing. I lied and said I didn't have a credit card or bank account. She wanted to call my mom on 3 way to get her card info. When I told them no they still keep calling and hanging up, any time of the day and night, and u can't even call the number back! So eventually I called my cell phone company and got a no solicitors block on my phone. Hopefully thatll work.

When I started getting these calls, they wanted to speak with my wife (who had already told them she wasn't interested in the previous 20 calls). I let them pitch their sale then simply said "Wait, let me go get my wallet."  Then, they were introduced to a full-blast of television static - enough to injure anyone wearing a headset providing they didn't have the necessary protective means.  They called back two more times IN FIFTEEN MINUTES with the same results.  For the last few calls, they got a guy to call me as if he'd "connect" better with me because we're men.  He got the same treatment.  This went on for at least 2 hours at a call roughly every 10-15 minutes.  Seriously, I was doing everything I could think of to entertain myself at their expense from speaking babble to a referee's whistle to giving the phone to my 2 year old until they hung up.  They called back a final time and I let my wife answer before giving me the phone (they had started hanging up outright whenever I answered) - this time, they were met with high-volume speaker reverb (what happens when you put a microphone up to a speaker).  They haven't called back in four days.  I guess a room full of deaf idiots painted a clear enough picture that I wasn't interested in their scam.

I know it sounds incredibly childish for a 30-year-old man, but that's what it takes when the threat of legal action does nothing but make them laugh and call back.
