how do i do what that canoe man did? Skype landline connection?

After reading this article about the canoe man who faked his own death, i was interested in how to set up this skype operation

Quote:
The two fraudsters are able to work together thanks to a fake legal firm that Caramanica registered at a "virtual office" address in London after he was freed in March and sent back to his native America.
Rainard & Co Legal Advisors Ltd, which lists Caramanica as its sole director, was set up in June this year to take advantage of so-called Rule 39 protection, which allows prisoners in English jails unmonitored contact with their legal team.
Caramanica can redirect mail from the firm's London mail-drop address to anywhere in the world, while the company's 0208 London phone number diverts to Caramanica's home in Florida via the Skype internet phone service.
I regularly make calls to online gambling companies instead of using the online option as it allows me to make larger bets, however I am also an avid traveller and when I go to countries like USA or France, I'm not allowed to place bets as It contravenes with their laws, even though Im a UK resident, i am appearing to call from another country. I was hoping to bypass this and the above example looks excellent.

Anyone know how i could create this, setting up a uk landline based phone connected to skype so i could call from anywhere in the world yet appear to be calling from the UK?

Its possible, and quite easy. But it all sounds a little dodgy with it being your first post one here.

lol sorry, i've heard about this forum and im a regular poster on others such as dnba. I should've introduced myself a bit more before jumping in. It does sound dodgy but my occupation is classifed as investment trader for the gambling markets and I'm always trying to convince people its not dodgy, however mention the words professional gambling and many people remain very sceptical. I make a regular income supplement from gambling however when I go to other countries, it prohibits my earning potential.

I suppose it sounds a bit iffy but all i really want to do is make the calls i would do if i wasnt abroad, if i was in the US, it would be impossible to connect as there would be a block on the numbers i want to ring

hope this clarifies things a bit more and hopefully i havent made it sound worse!!
