If it sounds too good to be true...

Jackie called me this evening. Straight up 6:00. Dinner time for us and for most people.
She was calling about the $500 grocery/gas giveaway I had entered on April 9. I had not entered.
Was my name not ----?
Um, no, that is my maiden name.
Oh, you mean ------? And you live at ---?
Yes, but I did not sign up for anything.
Perhaps someone else signed up for you? They knew you would love to win something like this.
Did I win?
Well,no, that drawing is not until July 4. Independance Day for our great country (c an't you here the Stars and Striped in the background?). But, you have won this month a free carpet cleaning for one room and free carpet cleaning supplies. We would love to come and demonstrate. When would be a good time?
Ah, well I have wood floors and won't be needing your services. For that matter, I highly doubt anyone in my family would sign me up for something with out my permission. They just know better.
Perhaps, you should go to your next caller and perhaps you should try a different tact. This one did not work.

My daughter looked on with great amusement.
I looked at her and said, "That is how it is done."
