Phone toll scam targets actor credit card dummy
Hundreds of college students chargéd nearly 50 000 in telephone calls to a misused credit card number supposedly belonging to actor Steve McQueen who denies ownership. Investigators cite 116 suspects in Southern California and note several calls involved numbers linked to Paul Newman. The scam exploits valid systems that bill the recipient regardless of card validity, with no action taken yet by the firm.
