Thriving industry

The phone rings. I lift the receiver and give my number.
    Call-centre noises for about ten seconds than the caller cuts me off.
    A 1471 check-up gave me the number: 001 334 219 381.
    A quick trip to the WWW told me that this number is associated with American scammers.
    They must have a great deal if they can afford to make calls to the other side of the Atlantic!
