Build enough of an illusion, and companies will send you plenty of samples in hopes you'll buy many.
That's the lie. You are tricking companies into sending you samples of a product that you have no intention of buying in bulk.

Heh, I've been doing that to get jobs for years. "Do you have experience?" I do now that I have a fake business. Call it up, my dad will tell you all about it.
