Like ransom ware
Oh God I HAVE TO PAY? LITERALLY SLAVERY
How about, I don't know, not yanking the cord (or setting things up so the cord is yanked automatically) and pursuing the payment later?
But then that could mean that someone might - even temporarily - get something for nothing, and they can't be seen to promote anything even remotely similar to that.

don’t give me hope like that
