A friend called me and was wondering why she got a $100 bill for international calls. I immediately guessed his husband had surfed for porn and since he doesnt know English (except words Sex, Free, CLick, ok) or the Net he had downloaded a dialer.

No big deal here but it made me think that is it usual that people from poor countries are tricked to make a connection and when they get a bill they realize they had lost an income of one month (for example $150 in many countries)

I havent promoted dialers but I was wondering if this is something we should feel bad about...

Someone in the States makes a few bucks while the guy in Eastern Europe for example loses his 1-month income just because he was tricked into pressing OK.
