How likely is this scam to work?
It seems like all the mark has to do is say “I didnt make these calls” and bam, scammer is screwed.
But is there a way to do this on home phones?
Black, no they cant say they never made the calls due to the fact they did but unknowingly, plus they dont have the proof at all they were ever scammed by this so called number that’s charging him.
No home phones can not do this.
plus…
so what if they get the calls dropped from the phone-company, the server the hustlers have set up already routed the calls and profited off it..
by the time the bill comes its already too late, theve already made the money..
the only thing i cant figure out is where is this setting on your phone?
how do you do this?
theses guys r awesome!!
i have no idea how this works.
The card trick Alex does at the end was cool.. but still does not make up for the lack of Jess
yeah its kinda hard to replicate the scams and takes quite a lot of practice….but stilll good scams
the “accidentally dropping her phone” thing was slickkkk
lol they make it look so easy……
does anyone know how to charge a mobile phone like that with ur server?
yes i do. message me privately for more details.
What’s the song at 1:15?
Easy to get caught on this one… Scammed people take a look at their bill. Call in a complaint, then find out they have been dialing a toll number. Then the phone company realizes that too many people are dialing the toll number. Then all they have to do is track the people who set it up. Thus finding addresses.
HOw is the money transferred to u?
You can’t see the calling card number in the bill.
how can alex do all of tht so quick ???!?!?
gotta love the Rolando music
how do you set up a number that it costs 2,50 per minute to call?
please answer
@fumofunghi
You must first start a company be registred
then you can aply for one.
Do this in England they can trace you, Or you can start one abroad then nobody could do nothing because its out of our juristiction
Thats why albanian criminal enterprise are getting away with millions
Or you could start a company with a fake id and quickly transfer the money to an offshore account
OK, thanks m8
