Excerpts from one telephone spiel: "I'm going to make an offer that will definitely be of interest to you, especially if you're interested in making money ... If you saw that you could definitely make an excellent profit within the next 24 to 36 months, Mr. Blotz, could you comfortably handle a $50-a-month investment program? ... Because...
