The only person likely to be frightened by such a "scam" is the perpetrator,
who is likely to fear for his financial future when he gets his phone bill.
If you call a number that has been call-forwarded, you will only be billed
for charges to the number you called.  The owner of the call-forwarded phone
will be billed for any long distance charges incurred from his phone to the
destination phone.
