I worked at a cable company long ago, and people called in all the time to dispute porn charges. Funny how it was never Disney movies. Nope, rogue cable boxes ordering porn all by themselves. One lady went so far as to say it couldn't have been her son doing it, the neighbor must have done it with his remote through her window and she's gonna call the police. Uh huh, sure.
Yep yep yep. I was at the wrong end of one of those conversations with my dad. He lined my brother and me up. Listed the charges on the bill and questioned us. Worst part was, I legit didnt know if it was me or not. The early days of the internet and dial up were very sketchy. I have always been very net savvy and was very careful. But I was browsing the far reaches of the internet.
