It
Hi.
"I still don't get it - you get a call out of the blue from someone selling you shares and promising you the moon and stars...and you take it hook, line and sinker?" [From The Guardian readers' forum.]
Does the pronoun "it" in the "you take it hook, line and sinker" refer to the "promising you the moon and stars..." or to the "you get a call out of the blue from someone selling you shares and promising you the moon and stars..." ?
Thank you.
