Taking out a loan just to pay the phone bill

Tipkovac, let’s be real—for 99% of those dialer programs, the user is the one holding the smoking gun. Everyone loves to hate on AT&T, but they honestly have zero to do with this. Those calls were placed (to the Cayman Islands and wherever else) almost certainly because he was clicking around on some sketchy porn sites and downloaded a dialer. He’s the one who installed it, not AT&T. The calls came from his computer, so yeah... he basically wrote the check himself.
It’s totally obvious to me that it's just human nature to try and shift the blame onto someone else when you mess up—especially when there's some massive monopoly in the crosshairs. I actually feel bad for the guy, but look, he needs to just pay the bill like everyone else did. Most people don't end up making the front page of the news because they aren't public figures or acting completely oblivious...
Sorry... maybe next time he goes downloading stuff, he might want to watch what he clicks on!
