Wir mussen die dialer ausrotten!!

German rogue dialler companies which defraud consumers by secretly changing their computer settings so they can call a premium rate phone line, are increasingly facing the heavy hand of the law.

German police this week arrested two suspects in Paderborn and Riga in another €20m dialler scam. Several other suspects are still on the run.

The men had developed software that secretly dialled out to an expensive 01908 number. The money they earned with the scams were channeled through letterbox companies in the US and Panama. Police say they secured at least €5.6m worth of assets.

Earlier this week, the German Regulatory Authority for Telecommunications and Posts (Reg TP) said it had blocked the access numbers of no less than 29,531 illegal diallers, all registered with the Berlin-based Intexus, a company that was already on a blacklist.

It's tempting to try to run off with a few million, or do 3 months and pay some fines for it.

I like the way you think...

We need to talk.

I dunno.

Meat might though.

Related :)

gotta be...I noticed a few adult webmasters winelovers, who might have had some connections to it, stopped posting cheerful wine comments on the wine board after the shit hit the fan.

I guess Chateau Lafit 1828 doesn't taste the same when Interpol is breathing down your neck

LOL

It does , but you have to quadruple the usual dose!
