In the early 90s my family joined an online service whose name I will not mention. The modem was set to do exactly that; it dialed a 9-1 prefix and then started dialing out using a 1. The service would never connect, you could faintly hear voices coming out of the modem, and eventually an officer arrived at the door because the phone was hung up trying to connect to the service.

How true, I'd much rather deal with the rapist.
