Why not, this industry is powered by bullshit. At least it's an
ecologically sound fuel though. The teleworking excuse is obviously
just a way of stealing your ideas for free.

My favorite similar incident was when Syzygy (then agency of record
for a large Cola company (not Coke)) did about four months of work on
concepts / internal presentations for a new music site for said
company (for no pay) which was then put out to pitch to another four
agencies. Syzygy weren't even told about the re-pitch, let alone
asked to pitch themselves.

Credit to the companies management - they threatened to drag the
corporate bastards through the courts for unpaid services to the tune
of about �60k. Said Cola company eventually settled out of court for
around �40k.
