People notice their phone is tapped, or see a microphone in their potted plant, or otherwise discover that someone is spying on them. So they start acting. A specific version of this is when two people being audio bugged carry on a conversation for the benefit of the bug while holding the real conversation by sign language or exchanging written notes. (And the visual conversation will often begin with a note or signal meaning "I should warn you we're being bugged".) Can be used as Number 33 of The Thirty-Six Stratagems. Compare Feed the Mole, contrast I Know You're Watching Me. Not to be confused with Staging the Eavesdrop, where getting someone to eavesdrop is the intention from the very start. See also Being Watched, Bathroom Stall of Overheard Insults and Exact Eavesdropping. Compare Bluff the Impostor, where you're talking directly to the person whose identity or trustworthiness is questionable. |

King Of The Rocket Men. Jeff King finds a bug placed by Dr. Vulcan and places a Phoney Call in which he offers to illicitly sell a top-secret item of equipment, knowing Dr. Vulcan's men will steal it off him. It's actually a radio location device for finding Dr. Vulcan's lair, but unfortunately Jeff's colleagues were outside the door listening and think he's in league with Dr. Vulcan, so they try to recover the device. | |

One episode of King of the Hill centers around Dale attempting to sue the Manitoba Tobacco Company for "ruining Nancy's skin" with their cigarette smoke, so he can use the money to get her some plastic surgery. They send him a singing placard fish that's bugged, in order to get proof against Dale's claim. Being the paranoid nut he is, Dale almost immediately recognizes the bug, and decides to counter-bluff them. Unfortunately, he does this in some of the saddest and most painful scenes in the series by acting as a total Jerkass towards her. | |

One Donald Duck comic has Scrooge McDuck hiring his nephews to pick up a large diamond from a courier. The Beagle Boys have a bug in his office and learn of the exchange, resulting in a madcap adventure for all involved. When the Ducks return to Scrooge's office, he reveals that the diamond they picked up is a fake; Scrooge knew of the bug, and set up the entire mission so the Beagle Boys would be distracted from the real diamond coming in from elsewhere. Of course, Donald and his nephews had no idea of this scheme, and were a little sore that they busted their tail feathers for almost nothing. | |

The two officers then proceed to loudly discuss the traitor having apparently gone to the south exit, so Rex will therefore go over there as well, to lure the traitor out of the vent so they can catch him. | |

The latter knows it, and starts pretending to dictate a Strongly Worded Letter, then activates a recording allowing him, Tee Hee and Solitaire to leave the building through a secret exit and go to Harlem for criminal business. Similarly, during A View to a Kill, Bond and Tibbett suspect that Max Zorin has their hotel room bugged, thus they put on a tape of them talking. Later, as they're snooping at night, they put another tape of snoring sounds to cover. |

Subverted in The Last Days Of Fox Hound when Gurlukovitch calls Ocelot on a cell phone to discuss their evil plan. Rather than bluff the people he knows are listening in, Ocelot flat out scolds Gurlukovitch by telling him exactly who is listening in on the other end. Cue said eavesdroppers breaking silence to wonder how Ocelot does it while Ocelot rolls his eyes and Gurlukovitch listens in disbelief. | |

From Avatar: The Last Airbender: a masterful example by Azula, when she has Mai and Ty Lee purposely reveal that they're Fire Nation in disguise... to the pair of Dai Li agents they knew were eavesdropping, overhead. She knew they'd ferry the news back to Long Feng, and knew he couldn't resist the opportunity to use it against her. So she wasn't surprised when those same agents brought her to his cell, where he coerces her into helping him under threat of exposing her to the Earth King. Azula "reluctantly" agrees. It doesn't end well for Long Feng. | |

In Astonishing X-Men, Cyclops is aware that the enemy is probably listening to the team's conversation, so he signals Emma Frost to link the team telepathically. He then lays out his plan via the link, while the team has a verbal conversation designed to lure the enemy into a trap. It's particularly effective because the readers aren't aware of the second conversation until the scene is revisited in the next issue. | |

Captain America: The Winter Soldier features a rather unique variation. Nick Fury has crashed Cap's apartment to lay low after an assassination attempt, verbally claiming that his "wife kicked [him] out," while simultaneously warning Cap via text on his phone that there are "ears everywhere" and "SHIELD [is] compromised." Two things make this one unique. One, the "ears" are SHIELD listening devices, that Nick himself put there. And two, Cap, for his part, doesn't reply via text, instead carrying on a Multitasked Conversation. | |

In The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe, intelligence officer Toulouse sets the story in motion by telling his lieutenant that a 'super agent' is arriving to blow the lid off his in-house rival's operations, knowing his rival is listening in and will expose his operatives by going after the decoy Toulouse sets up. This is also done in the American remake The Man with One Red Shoe. | |
