Premium rate numbers+pedos=$?

[fannyfart]

i was just wondering if this scam would work,

set up a premium rate number, then set your mobile/cell number to divert to the premium rate number.

give your mobile number to the pedo's in a chatroom, who will then ring the number thinking its a young girl but then the number gets diverted to the premium line, and then you will recieve the revenue from the calls.....

obviously they will hang up straight away once they are connected to the premium line, but you should get a lil revenue from it, which would accumulate considering how many pedo are out there???

don't they have to stay on the line for at least something like 5 seconds? I seem to remember reading that somewhere...and isn't there also some kind of warning that they are being transferred to a higher rate number? if you could find some sneaky way around that stuff maybe, either way pedo hunting is always good clean fun!

Or divert it to the FBI, just for lulz.

Not 100% true... Remember that some telco companies are not in the US, and therefore don't obey their laws (Hint: Costa Rica).
