I thought I'd seen or heard it all when it comes to selling things by
telephone. People have tried to sell me all sorts of amazing and
wonderful things. I was wrong! Last night I got a call from an outfit
called "Club USA" who wanted to send me to the Spanish Riviera for a
week at a four star hotel for two (only one round trip airfare
provided). And all I had to do was give the nice man my Visa number so
he could put a 2 year membership in their buying service on it. What
could be more reasonable, you ask?
The cost for all this (including the vacation valued at $1500.)? Why
just $399! What a bargain!
He hung up when I started to laugh. I don't understand why.
