A Ponzi Scheme qualifies as NO GIMMICKS! to you?  

Just what would it take?  Arbitrage?  Derivatives? A "Vote for O.J.'s 
Verdict" 900 line?  A third political party run by Ross Perot?  Paying $25 to 
have someone say they named a distant star after you?  I mean what? Really.

Let's face it, you paid for an international call, and I'm guessing got 
egregiously overcharged for it, and you got screwed because there just aren't 
that many people who are as gullible as you and most of the ones who are 
probably already have their own special code number in a phone system in the 
Seychelles  [for those of you playing along at home, 011 means an 
international call, and the country code 248 is the Seychelles Islands, 
located in the Indian Ocean due east of Tanzania] so they won't be calling 
yours and the phone company in the Seychelles isn't going to give you any 
kickbacks out of what they charge lots of people to call your number and 
you're just going to be out whatever they charged you. 

Well, just eat the phone bill when it comes, chalk it up as a lesson learned 
and leave the rest of us the hell alone, ok?
