BEWARE, however, that SOME 800 numbers are NOT toll-free, as you might think. In an NBC Dateline episode, they mention how some 800 numbers are actually re-directed to 900 numbers...allowing the caller to graciously foot the bill...as the caller receives his monthly bill, he could see a long 900 call that took place...and a percentage of that $$$ will go to you know who. There is a loophole in the 800 numbers. And note, he didn't say "toll-free"...not that it mattered. Perhaps it is legit. It would be better NOT to call this scamster at all...otherwise, WE could possibly run up the bill ourselves for his benefit. -Mike -- Michael Wong u-mwong@peruvian.cs.utah.edu University of Utah
