Once again, you didn't read:
"You may receive an automated message on your telephone that says you have won a prize or money. The message directs you to call a 2-digit code preceded or followed by the * or # key (such as *79 or 72#), and an 800 number to claim your prize. When you dial the number, you are not connected to anyone. What this procedure has done, though, is program your telephone to forward your calls to a long-distance operator. Con artists can then call your number, be forwarded to the long-distance operator and place calls that are billed to your home telephone number. "
Take note that in the above statement it's saying you have to dial two-three digits before the 800 number - anyone that can't recognize that deserves to be billed.
