Dialers in the news again
 

This one's dated today: http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/169543.html

That is bad news http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/frown.gif

Yeah...people should just learn to pay their phone bill and shut the hell up!

I bet you get 50 bleeding hearts posting saying "I told you dialers are a rip off" "I told you dialers would ruin this industry" "dialer suck"

OLD OLD News.....

My son was surfing the net every night of his horny life....and when we got the phone bill from madagascar....it was for over 500.00.
My husband is computer savvy..I am somewhat computer savvy...nowhere did we ever find where he got disconnected and then reconnected to some island off the coast of Africa. We refused to pay the bill....as it should be. Isn't this why dialers must now ask if you want to download them?
In medicine, it's called informed consent. It should be here, too.
At no time should anyone be disconnected without permission. I love dialers. We make a nice chunk of change from them. But, if it's done behind the scenes, deceptively...then, I don't think it's a good idea and the FTC will continue to stay involved.
If you put a box up and ask them to "click here for instant download" and take off the word "free" , then I think dialers are great.
Otherwise, people are getting billed by the thousands...and they had no clue they were being reconnected to a long distance charge.
By the way, AT&T were very nice about not billing us. But, they did say they only offer this courtesy once. I told them, if this ever happened again, they would offer it more than once because I will never pay for anything done in such a way as to take away my power to say no.

Sounds a lot like the story of me and my dad. I did the same thing...He ended up smashing my computer.

Correction, the ones that are running the dialers in a deceptive way are ruining the business... there are several of us who have disclaimers and damn well let you know you are going to pay for the useage....... I know ours does and so do several of the others...... but the ones running them like the ones mentioned here in this article are the ones ruining it...... always out to make a buck no matter what.

Well said.

The majority of dialers on the market today cut off at 20 or 30 min, and charge $2.99 a minute. Most hold times are never more than a few minutes either.

This is hardly "ripping off a surfer". It is however, unfortunate that there are still dialer companies out there who do pull stunts such as in the article.

On another note...

I paid $300 for a few personal dances with a couple of strippers while in Vegas last July. It didnt last more than 30 min. Should I complain to the better business bureau because I "didnt know" it was going to cost so much? Or because I saw naked women and said yes without listening exactly to how much they would charge?

Besides...anybody paying for Porn or Strippers...needs to get out and meet some real women...Myself included!!!
