Is that from premium number dialing or something else?
- MichaelGG 12y agoWith a premium number you can get the money directly. Just get a premium number and pump calls to it. But there are other legitimate destinations that are rather expensive. So you could setup shop and proxy calls to hacked boxes. But then you've gotta get customers, accept payments from them, etc. - sounds like more work.
