This is a question Corporate Idiocy

Comedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

My mistake.
You ran up a huge phone bill, then didn't want to take responsibility for it, but then offered to pay for it anyway (but have now edited your post to correct the last part). Better?

no, not really
if i had been intentionally calling premium rate numbers, then yes, you'd be right, but that is not the case here.
it was a computer virus that switched my dialler without my knowledge.
given that you can't spot a simple typing error either only supports my initial assesment that you're a bell end

I can secure my computer against viruses,
and notice when my phone line is being abused, though, so I do have that going for me.

give yourself a gold star!
at the time the anti virus programs weren't looking at rediallers and this is why so many people were effected

i'm interested to know how, on the one hand you claim you'd know when your phone line is being abused, but at the same time claim your computer is secure from what I can only assume to be all types of attack.
So, either you’ve had your phone line abused in the same way and your computer was hit by a similar scam,

or alternatively, and which is much more likely, you’re full of shit.
