There was a time where somebody in SF has figured admin access code to older apartment intercoms (I believe they were manufactured by Linear and maybe other companies too). These intercoms would call the programmed in phone number whenever you type in the apartment access code at the door.
So what they did is add a new fake tenant with a premium 1-900 number and used the intercom to call it, earning themseleves a bit of cash. Naturally, landlords had to foot the bill.
