FG discovered that ET cards allowed calls to
premium rate lines at non-premium rates, bought ET cards galore and dialled
its own premium number nonstop. They then sat back and collected the rake-off,
which was much more than the calls had cost them to dial. The scam raked
in over £1m before it was spotted & stopped. the money received by defendant was paid out to defendant
in transactions which had no function for defendant other than taking
advantage of plaintiff's error [however that be categorized] ====
this case is appropriating mislaid property rather than
a sharp bargain with an ignorant person
