My favorite one happened years ago. I happened to answer the phone at my office (which I rarely do) and someone told me they had a free computer for me if I would buy some advertising pens. Now, I had already read about this scam (The "Computer" is a calculator) so I said, sure, but send them COD. They did and I refused it. I got an irate call, and I told them that I had never authorised such a thing, and that I never answered the phone! So, they were stuck with a lot of pens with my name on them, hehe.
