Remember that not all 800-number telephone services are free. Some 800-number services charge for calls.

Says that some 800 number services charge for calls, not that some 800 number services charge calls directly to your phone lines. All my 800 lines require a CC or check to use for access to content and will never appear on someone's phone bill.

If you want to poke fun at an illegitimate business let's all hop over to a DIALER chat area and beat them up for nothing but FALSE advertising. Now, there's a scam! I remember vividly at a party a large site operator bragging about how his new scripts did a hidden download and install, disconnected the modem, turned the volume off, and dialed out to an international or 1-900 number without ever informing the surfer.
