I have always thought about calling the toll-free numbers that are listed on consumer products here in Japan. But, of course if I call, I would need to have some questions ready to ask. But your idea is really good because they call you and they do all the asking. All you have to do is answer. So, what should one advertise? A product or a service? Please write a follow up post and give us some advice/ideas. Thanks! Good post! I have always thought about calling the toll-free numbers that are listed on consumer products here in Japan.

My primary targets being some of the junk mail perpetrators (I could perhaps pretend I really was interested in buying X amount of Y). It seems that becasue one of my email address (an unclean one) got associated with Chinese somewhere, I now receive advertising spam in Chinese. I haven't tried this yet though.
