I recall back in the early 90s they would ask ‘do you have long distance’ and when you said yes they would somehow sign you up for extra fees. I think it was a company called ‘long distance’ or something.

It was back when you had to choose a long distance provider.. the telemarketer would get you to say “YES” to “Can I put you on HOLD?” ,, the trick was “HOLD” was Home Office Long Distance ,, and their rates were astronomical. You were slammed onto their network and it took forever to get things corrected.
