Surprising, it is revealed that the man received a call from George Agdgdgwngo the previous day being told he won 1,800,000 Ugandan dollars, with the offer to sell George his [[passport]]. Horace then plays a tape containing various Fonejacker characters (which Horace calls a "Telephone Identity Parade"), including George, Donald, Terry Tibbs and Mr Doovdé, saying "So if I could just take your bank account details and sort code, and we can wire you the monies as soon as possible". The man recognises the voice of George Agdgdgwngo and is informed that Horace will be in touch. Before this the man says its number four only for Horace to play number two with that being Terry Tibbs, the man then says that's not the one, before on the second attempt Horace correctly plays Georges voice. |

This is the first time in Fonejacker history Terry makes a call outside of his used cars office, but is instead on a [[golf course]] making the call inside a buggy based on a [[Rolls-Royce (car)|Rolls-Royce]]. The series 2 trailer shows Terry Tibbs saying "surprise!" during the call, but on the broadcast a picture of a naked statue is shown instead of him. In the call itself Terry asks questions such as if the pool has a motif on it, before suggesting the lady's "Useless husband" is too lazy to install it as the reasons for its sale. He later asks her if she can cook because he can "do with the company", before saying his own wife "Can't cook for fucking shit". He says he's willing to pay £25 or less for it, otherwise he'll go to [[Argos (retailer)|Argos Express]]. The lady can't go below 25, so ends the call with his "Goodbye and much love!" farewell before moving off in his buggy. |

* George Agdgdgwngo calling two victims, one involving a man winning 1,396,822 Ugandan dollars and 86 cents on the "Charitable Telephonic Scratchcard", and the other involving cyber thieves. The first 'victim' seems aware he is being given a prank or hoax call, as he seems aware he has to give a bank account number and sort code even before George requests this from him, and does not seem surprised he has won when George gets a penny to remove the silver panel on the card. The second 'victim' calls George a "fucking lunatic" and "The undesireable" when already being informed of the Cyber Thieves by George labelling them as "undesireables" himself. The man asks George where he is calling from just to amuse him, which makes George look stumped for a few seconds before saying "[[Solihull]]!" in a puzzled voice. The man asks him where it is only to reply "It is in the United Kingdom sir!", before saying "In the [[Northern England|North]]!" to which the man replies that it isn't (when in fact it is in the [[West Midlands (region)|West Midlands]]). |
