Disgruntled and dissatisfied folks will complain about services that don't work out well for them and call them scams. But what if that experience inspires buying books on the subject and seeking out other professional advice - while still receiving personalized advice from the alleged "scam?"
Here's how my first call to a supposed scriptwriter went a few years ago:

Movie Guy: The how about we blow something up at the end?
Me: The book's about fire. Plus they had no gunpowder.
Me Again: Good-bye.
This time will doubtless work out the same, but it's a lot more fun to learn terminology and how to observe movies instead of watching them.
Another thing I learned: maybe we should add visuals of that beheading....
