He said, "I'm having a hard time hearing you." I said, "Listen closely, you are recording this call for my protection. What are you protecting me from?"

He said, "I'm glad you asked that question," then he continued with his pitch.

Suddenly the line when dead.....from my end. Thank you.

For your protection. Sheesh. That almost sounds like a shakedown.
