Me: Hello

Telemarketer: Hello is this Mr. [insert last name here].

Me: Sorry, there is no [insert last name here] here.

Telemarketer: This is the number that Mr. [insert last name here] left us. He has entered a draw and his name has been picked out.

Me: Well that's good for him. Why are you telling me?

Telemarketer: You see Mr. [insert last name here] is a winner of $25,000.

Me: That's nice for Mr. [insert last name here].

Telemarketer: All you need to do is send me 1 percent to cover the taxes. That is only $250 and your banking information and the money will be deposited in your bank account.

Me: Sweet! Let me get my bank book!
