One Call Comm and their clearing house USBI have an arragement whereby a fraudulent internet site can hijack your computer dialer and make charges to an overseas number.in this case, on Aug 29,04 it was to the UK phone number 442073350525 for exactly 20min and 0 seconds at a charge of $45.43 plus tax. This was the first day I used a home computer.
I did look at an adult website but I did not dial up any such call. I didn't give any authorization for such a call either. I did see some kind of spyware advertisement and, being totally unaware of what that kind of thing is, I clicked on the add. My phone company removed the charges for the call.
