Yep there was a big scandal in Scotland when a some what sketchy journalist got a job in a call centre and did that.

The irony was the press office was on the floor above and didn't notice.

Lol, how did that go? I am thinking... something along these lines:

Telemarketer: When you sign up with ShitWare, our Platinum partner, you get a free BigMac (tm) with a crumpet and a small drink! This exciting promotion is only available to our subscribers! Limited time offer. Quantities are limited. Only in participating restaurants. Some conditions apply. Taxes (incl. VAT) not included.

Queen: Goodness gracious, did you just say free BigMac (tm) and crumpets? That is, like, fucking amazing! OK I clicked on that link, it says "Your Windows is infected! Click here to clean!" Is that OK? Btw where is my food.

Telemarketer: It is, indeed, perfectly OK! Just click on where it says "I Agree". BTW it is one crumpet (not "crumpets") or a hashbrown, subject to availability. This exciting, time-limited offer is ---

Queen: Yeah whatever dude, just send the food in.

Queen: This is good. Most good.
