This is an urban legend. Here is the BBB report on the actual scam that this legend is referring to:

http://www.bbb.org/alerts/telescam.asp

> I read where the opening of a scam site may create a reconnection to a
> charge by the minute phone line in a foreign country with a resulting
> astronomical phone bill.  These sites were disclosed as porn sites.
>
> The article I read indicated that AT&T has reluctantly abated the charges
> that have resulted from this scam.
>
> If you stumble onto such a site, quickly close it before the connection can
> be converted to the high pay line.
