One particular lad has now called my mobile a total of 62 times.

Do you think he wants something? Very Happy

I think he wants you to get a premium UK toll number so it will cost him $0.72 a minute to speak with you, but since your [insert something here] injury you can only .... speak... really... slowly

^ free to you

missed calls, or is the answering service picking it up?

it's only worth it if he's paying that connection fee Wink

At that kind of call rate it might be worth considering a premium rate affiliate program, where you get a good percentage of the profit from the premium rate provider, which on a mobile number would work out a darn sight more than a measly 72 cents per minute.

More like £1.00-£1.50 per minute is the kind of thing you might be looking for and is the going rate in the UK.

Could add up to a decent bit of short term revenue for you, as long as you keep this lad hooked.

Here is the sort of thing I had in mind:

http://www.premiumventures.co.uk/revenueprojection.php (non affiliate link)

Found on this page on the sponsored links on the righthandside:

Now, if one or two of us could possibly hatch a plan, part business, partly for fun, with a website aimed particularly at fraud scammers, I reckon there could be some decent dosh in something like this.

A kind of scammer love dating website, with the SEO really aimed at Nigeria full of titillation for the lads amusement, completely fake of course, but it couldn't half be a drain on their resources, especially if it was set up properly to keep them hanging on the line for as long as possible.

With a central domain on the .com extension, the site could be put together purely using addon sub domains with a page 301 Redirect facility automatically built in, so the main domain remains essentially, untraceable.

Any progressive thoughts on this are welcome. of course, the money could if needs be, be donated to charity, perhaps a counselling service for people that have been scammed by the scammers.

Ideas ideas ideas.

One lad has just asked me for my telephone number, this one will go through to a sex line at a rate within the UK of £1.50 per minute.

I'm so sorry to my lad, I must have made a 'mistake', got my digits mixed up! Twisted Evil

Goodness knows what it'll cost from abroad. OW!

£1.50 per minute equals just under $2.15 per minute (within the UK, a lot more from internationally I am given to understand!!)

I do hope he's got deep pockets. Laughing
