Obtaining a Premium Rate Number

[SystemParanoia]

Ive been thniking about obtaining a premium rate number to use as a personal contact number to give out to banks, debt collectors, creditcard companies, etc.

are there any legal implications to me doing this or am i ok to just go ahead and do this to earn a little money from these idiots wasting my time ?

Its highly illegal to do this to debt collectors.

It is however OK to do this to Banks and other cold calling companies

fantastic

what makes it illegal to do to debt collectors ?

theyre also people who you never ASK to be contacted by, and if they were any good then they could find your direct number anyway ?

i value my time a little more than that tbh
