Granting that my Telco service provider was right that maybe one of the overseas website I previously visited triggered an auto-dial, will that Internet call register land-line charges? Please help, I will use your expert opinion to contest the phone charges.
If you are using a dial-up modem, then yes, the website can install a script or something that causes your modem to disconnect and dial up a long-distance service.
Let me guess, were you going to pr0n sites? That's the risk usually involved with surfing on those sites. PS: I know it sucks not being able to watch them anymore, but there are advantages! Speaking from my own experience!
Well, yes. I use Dial Up modem (but I have Avast Home edition on, Firewall on and I use Firefox as my browser) And I do visited Porn Site (Hey, I'm a consenting Adult, nothing's wrong with that), but careful not to click anything.
Nothing wrong with visiting porn sites. But some porn sites aren't very ethical. They essentially hijack your browser, close the Internet connection and load a dialer that uses your dial-up modem to call a long-distance service. That's how they cheat you of money. The telco isn't at fault, since it's your modem dailing up the service.
