should have kept em on line and strung them along for 1/2 hour.

At one time that could have committed you to a significant charge on a
premium rate line. I am not sure if that scam has been "trapped".

AIUI, this is just urban myth - and there's no way you can be charged
for simply pressing 1 (or any other button). Nevertheless, some Google
research might be useful.

FWIW, yesterday I had six calls from various numbers advising me that
someone had ordered an iPad on my Amazon account - and suggesting that I
press 1 to speak to the accounts department if I wanted to cancel it.
Despite what I said above, so far I have resisted the temptation (just
in case!).
