more food for thought:
. . . .chances are if it IS a dodgy old bunch of ex-operators doing it for the cash, they've put a different bunch of "pasties" into the scenario too - a 2nd layer "cut-out" -perhaps even some twist on the "fightclub" teenmovie or somesuch, (- the advert on the bus) but its got all the signs of a crappy scam.
how many dots? tax-free, old boy. tax-free.
