There is/was one scam where people *THINK* they are getting free Sky Box
Office.

They disconnect the box from the phone line and then order PPV movies or
sports
events. The box allows this upto an internal credit limit of about £50 at
which
point it stops working. When the box is then plugged into the phone line
again,
all the PPV events get uploaded to SKY and you get billed for them.
