My mate once had an ace idea for a get-rich-quick scheme:1. Buy a fax machine.
2. Rent an expensive 0898-style number (though not 0898, obviously).
3. 'Phone up big companies and ask them to fax you a bunch of information about themselves.
4. Profit!
Except ... except he didn't take into account that A people aren't absolutely bloody stupid, and B it was highly illegal.

There was a similar thing on the Real Hustlesetup premium rate number
buy some motorbike leathers and a crash helmet and wrap up a package
go to large office building and tell receptionist that you have a package for [name of made up person]
When she says that there isn't a [named person] working there, ask if you can use her phone to call up the "delivery company"
dial premium rate number and have a pretend argument
repeat all day

Years ago there was a regular ad in Private Eyethat went, "Never pay a phone bill again!!!! £5 to find out how!!!!".
If you sent your fiver you received a neatly typed note that read, "Have your phone disconnected.".
