I also read the article about FJS's illegal activities a few weeks
ago.  Shortly after that, I got one of their usual sales calls which
went something like this:

FJS:  I'm calling from First Jersey Securities.  Are you familiar
      with us?

ME:   Oh yes, you're the ones who just got indicted for securities fraud.

FJS:  <Some prepared explanation about how this was a personal vendetta
       by the SEC against their president.  Then, he had the nerve to
       ask if I was interested in their services.>

ME:   No, I'm not interested right now.

FJS:  Is that because of what you've heard about us?

ME:   Partly, but I'm just not interested.


The only good thing I have to say about them is if you tell them
you're not interested at the beginning of the conversation, they
end the conversation.  They don't try to pressure you.
