Around 2001, I was being bombarded by telesales people trying to sell me all kinds of things, mainly financial sales, insurance, investments, sure things etc. They were taking my time and begging me to talk through all the options with them. Anyway I got so fed up with this that I paid for a premium phone number and got my listing changed with the directory services. The premium number paid me £1 per minute. After that I would answer them and listen to their pitches ask questions trying to make the call last longer (I was a sure thing and interested after all) and then decline their product or service. I was making £30 to £45 a call. One of them was from France about yacht finance I made £250.
