CD (17min. 30sec.), used telephone card, bank transfer record

A work mocking the "Ore Ore (It's me!)" fraud, a scheme to cheat elderly people to pull out money by pretending to be their child or grandchild on the phone. In accordance with the original version of "Ore Ore" fraud, Chim↑Pom dared to pretend a child or a grandchild of the targets chosen at random from a telephone book in a phone box, sending money after establishing mutual trust. Their scheme succeeded only at the 60th trial.
