"The next time your phone rings, don't be surprised if it's the No. 1 Jaguars fan! **RING RING** MAN: Hello? ME: Excuse me sir, have you heard the good news? MAN: Is this Hamilton Nolan? Caller ID says it's you. As a matter of fact, I'm glad you called. I was going to be reaching out to you anyhow. Mr. Nolan, my name is Special Agent Derrick Banks."
"On or about November 4 of last year, our evidence indicates that you hired a Malaysian manufacturing firm to produce 1,500 felt toys resembling an elephant. You then had said manufacturing firm affix counterfeit Beanie Baby labels to said elephants. You then proceeded to sell these toys on Ebay under the listing "GENUINE RARE 100% MOO DANG Beanie Baby-- Collector Item-- Still in Original Packaging." No part of your advertisement was true."
A fan cold-calls strangers to share the news that the Jacksonville Jaguars reached a 4-1 record, using playful prank-call lines about a running refrigerator and celebrating fans. One call elicits a bored 'Oh, boo!' while another leads into a joke before turning serious. A man identifying himself as Special Agent Derrick Banks of the FBI contacts the caller and warns to retain an attorney. The agent alleges an investigation into a scheme where a Malaysian firm produced 1,500 felt elephant toys, counterfeit Beanie Baby labels were affixed, and the items were sold on eBay under a false 'GENUINE RARE' listing.
