Dialer Victims To Get Compensation

By | October 7, 2004

Further to my column a week ago (sorry, subscription only) on the dialler scam, here’s an update.

I’m not sure this is the first time, but it’s a good sign: Ireland’s Eircom has pledged to reimburse consumers who unwittingly fall victim to internet fraudsters that hijack people’s computer modems and run up large telephone bills, according to Ireland’s Business World website.

The website says Eircom had not previously automatically covered the cost of these Internet dumping frauds. In advertisements on Wednesday, however, it promised to refund its customers where it found they had been “innocent victims of the fraud”.

Eircom, Business World reported, said its new policy would allow it “to continue to enable voice and data communications to all international destinations, including 13 States that were recently put on a direct dial blacklist by the regulator”. It’s not clear whether this means those 13 are now off the blacklist.

    Its such a worst expr to take Nokiya set. I have taken nokiya 3230 on 7th Jan 2006 with receipt, from Akanksha Electronics Shop No. 6&7 Chintamani plaza Opp. German Remedies,Andheri Kurla Road, Chakala, Andheri(E) Mumbai-400069 Maharashtra India. From 8th Jan 2006 the mobile is hanging.The dealer is not ready to exchange the set.Not ready to do anything for the mobile.Whats the use of such a big name of nokiya if this is the service

    I am just waiting for my handset to be replaced.If thats not gonna happen,then i think i hav to take this issue to the consumer court.
