Re: Nearly as good as the

big parcel scam. The FBI caught some russians who had a premium number that was $700 per minute. Dressed as delivery men they turned up at offices with a parcel. The paperwork was always not quite right and necessitated a call to the delivery mans HQ. That would be the premium line. It is estimated that they made something over $10,000,000 in three months.

Given all the restrictions now in force wih money laundering, and the need for anyone to see full i.d. before taking on new clients, the need for extra records etc., how can the phone companies not have some responsibility for policing their own system?

Could not be their share of the theft, sorry, decent profits?
