Forgot about these. Have a story about them too, although it's more of a testament to how monumentally stupid my cousin is. She basically got evicted, lost her car, and had to declare bankruptcy because of calling these lines constantly. One story she told me was that she was calling to try to see if some guy friend of her's she was hot for would fall in love with her, so they told her to put down the phone (not hang up), find a picture of them together, burn it in the sink until it was just ashes, staring at it the whole time while thinking of the 2 of them together, and then come back to the phone. Which she did. Said it took her about 30 minutes to do it, so at 4 or 5 bucks a minute wouldn't take long for her to spend a paycheck. I'm sure there are a lot more stories like this out there too, as for some reason there are a lot of people who never seem to realize it's all about the money.People are stupid.
