Criminals are very creative. Meaning those criminals who operate with millions. Millions of dirty illegal money that needs to be laundered and legalized. And that is where calling cards may help…
Using long distance international calling cards for money laundering is now very popular in the USA. The scheme is not just simple… it is almost primitive. And its success lies in this primitivism.
Imagine you have 10 millions of bucks in your backpack or something alike. You’ve earned this money… well, let’s say you sold something and never reported this sale to the officials to avoid paying taxes and maybe some other problems. Now you need to legalize this money so that you would be able to buy something from those, who do not accept dirty cash.
There are tons of money laundering schemes available, but as our website is devoted to calling cards and VoIP business, we will describe the scheme popular these days.
You take those 10 millions and go buy calling cards. It’s up to you to decide whether you prefer calling cards for local calls or long distance international calling services. Then you set up your own “premium” number, that you need to pay for to access (like sex on the phone, horoscope etc.) And then… yes, you got it right, you start calling this number with the calling cards you bought. It is an almost automated process and may open as many paid-to-access numbers as you like. Soon you have your money (excluding some 20-25% of losses, which is a very good result for dirty cash laundering) absolutely legal on your bank account.
Easy? Yes. Popular? So far, yes. Punished? Yes, if cought and right now it is almost impossible.
Cheap phone cards can be very helpful if you're trying to save money on domestic and international long distance calls. From time to time all of us need to call outside of our local phone area. It can be domestic call to other USA city or international call to other country.
Big the big long-distance companies charge unbelievable amount of money for each call. It depends on the time of day we are calling or some other things and of course which company we are going to use. But price per minute can be $0.15, $0.25 or even $0.50 per minute for USA domestic call! In this day and age those rates are ridiculous.
Save money on international calls using Cheap Phone Cards.
It's almost unbelievable but international calls can cost you up to $5 per minute. Worst of all, you find it only when you get your phone bill! Of course some phone companies offer you monthly plans and you pay less. But here's the silly part: you pay your monthly payment whether you make a call or not.
A prepaid phone card is a card you purchase (for a set price) and use to make long distance phone calls. These cards are usually sold in dollar amounts or by number of minutes.
Many people use a pre-paid phone card because of the card’s convenience - it can be used anywhere and, since you pay in advance, there is no bill. Pre-paid phone cards are popular among travelers, students, people who frequently call overseas, and those who haven’t selected a long-distance service.
