Did the explanation of the scheme make any sense? If it did dumb it down for me please....

ever called a sex hotline? imagine the chick on the other end stole your phone and call herself non stop and charge you for it.

Well that's just pointless.

Does this scam only work with iPhones then?
waitasecAug 19, 2010
Since they separate the phone and the sim I'm guessing it works with any phone. I think the articl e confuses the reason iphones were involved, and any story sounds better when it centers around an iphone. Sim was used for dialing charges the phones were just sold for profit since they fetch a good price and they were purchased with stolen credit cards.

iPhone has a high resale value...

I'm not sure if it works with yours, what was your number again?

This is actually a really smart idea. No wonder they made so much before they got caught.

Millions of Pounds? Someone was getting fat...

So they stole millions and yet they had nothing to show for it except 'smart cars'. So really they caught the low level runners of the operation and the organization really running it are counting millions somewhere about to start the cycle again on another network...

If by digg you up, you mean block you because I'm sure you'll never say anything of value based on the complete idiocy of your comment, then yes. Yes I will.

There's an app for that.

This is not new, and has been common for a while now.
Back in the days when Bluetooth enabled headsets were getting big, the phones were taken control of and dialed into the premium lines. Very lucrative.

See what happens when you restrict the free sale of goods? Black markets.

It is clear they didn't get to the bottom of this ring as they did not find where the money went. So it is safe to say who ever is at the top of the pyramid is free to recruit others. It would seem it is harder to follow the money then it looks, millions can seem to disappear.
