Have you ever tried to call a 1-800 number and was directed to a "one-on-one talk" with a nasty girl? I am talking about "used to be" legitimate 800 numbers of big companies. Have you dialed 1-800-CHICAGO and was answered by a sweet talking girl for $2.99/min conversation with lots of deep breathing? You can call 1-800-Cadillac, 1-800-Metallica or 1-800-Minolta and instead you will be talking to a girl who would convince you to give your credit card information not for a car or a camera but for a sex phone chat. Imagine calling 1-800-WORSHIP to talk to somebody for religious advice and an angel of Ron Jeremy picks up the phone and say " hello baby, are you ready to go to heaven with me?". What if you call 1-800-whirlpool to fix your pipe in your tub and somebody answers and say "I'm sorry honey, but that's not the pipe I usually take care of". It's scary isn't it?
The thing is, the mentioned 800 numbers were legitimate service numbers of legitimate companies bought by Prime Tel Communications which is based in Philadelphia after they were relinquished by their previous owners. If you dial any of these numbers your call will be directed to erotic chat lines operated by A-1 Advertising. This is LEGAL by the way. the purchase and sale of the service is 100% legit. You will not be charged unless you agree and give your credit card information. Prime Tel is the administrator of at least 1,600.000 out of around 7 million 800 numbers. It is also said that they also control a dominant share of 888 and 866 numbers.
The problem with this is when kids and teenagers accidentally call any of this numbers and get hooked by the sweet talking voice and give their parent's credit card information. Accessibility and testosterone is a very bad combination. Some people will just hang up but some will find this an excuse for a timed opportunity to exercise and promote their manhood.
Although the FCC can not totally eradicate this due to it's legality, we should be aware of it and report any occurrence to 1-800-SPANKME right away.....wait that number is one of the porn chat lines also.
Here are some of the most common numbers that I am talking about.
