Failed Marketing

We’ve been getting a computerized telephone call left on our answering machine the last couple of days, in which the caller begs us to call him back regarding our “outstanding credit card debt”, and claims that they will be able to help us reduce our debt to nothing, and they will “even loan us [you] a thousand dollars to get us [you] started”.

C’mon, guys.  Even my nine-year-old can see right through that one.  The very first time she heard it, she wondered “How can you get rid of your debt by borrowing more money?”  That was a question I just couldn’t answer.
