There's a big problem with telephone diallers installing themselves and then dialling premium rate numbers without the peple knowing. They're getting phone bills for amounts ranging from over GBP100 to as much as GBP900. Apparently these programs can dial even when the computer's switched off, I

A friend of mine got caught with that one, apart from the unexpected bill they had a lot of trouble getting the spam dialler uninstalled from the computer. As I understand it, always-on/broadband connections don't (as yet!) get affected by this one because they don't dial out each time.

Unfortunately I can't get at yesterday's 'Working Lunch' programme on the BBC website, but I'm certain that the ICSTIS regulator said that broadband was now being hit by these diallers, but can't remember the details of how the fraudsters did it. It's really annoying when the archive for these
