It reminds me of an incident when one of those "alternative phone  
services" bilked me out of money.  After my first bill arrived, I  
recognized that the service was not what I thought I agreed to.  After a  
little back and forth via email, they sent me their recording of the phone  
call, on CD.   But it was choppy and clearly EDITED in parts.  I decided  
to just pay the initial monthly bill and cancel further business with  
them.

These days all they need is a recording of your voice saying "YES", and  
they can technically splice it into any way they want.
