GREENBELT, Md. — A businessman pleaded guilty Tuesday to rigging pay phones he owned to robotically call toll-free numbers repeatedly so he could collect the 50-cent fee owed for each call, illegally racking up $4 million.
Nicolaos Kantartzis acknowledged using more than 100 pay phones he controlled in the Washington, D.C., area to make phantom calls to toll-free numbers belonging to companies and the government.
