I had the same call. Surprised me too because it was my fault.
She loves a Scalectrix mind. One of those can really smart if you lose in on a bend into someone's ankle. Maybe it was that.

Yeah, I had one too, the figure of eight crossing over layout, if you powered it right you could jump the car off the bridge and onto the track below and it would carry on... As I recall the cars were a bit flimsy though and flying off at speed into the wall really didn't do them any good!

Would be very easy for someone less savvy, elderly or with poor eyesight to follow the link without thinking though.
You did send money to that Nigerian Prince though!

But the fact that they keep doing it means, I guess, that some must pay off.
They probably know what percentage, and keep doing it till they hook one poor victim.
What a sad sad job for someone, though, making these calls for a living!
