What is International Modem Dialing?

International modem dialing is one of the top ten Internet frauds according to the Federal Trade Commission. Many people know of the practice, but they dont know the name. This fraud consists of a dialer that is knowingly or unknowingly downloaded, then it reconnects the users computer to another server, usually in another country. The result is a high telephone bill.

(PRWEB) November 20, 2004 -- Most sites that track Internet fraud have a full description of this practice and give advice on how to protect yourself from it. However, their advice relies on human interaction, which can be haphazard at best. This advice includes listening to the modem dialing when it shouldnt or being alert to a window opening slowly when it shouldnt. However, they are remiss in not mentioning that there is a software solution to the problem.

ReconnectWarning is among other several programs that addresses this fraud. The program intercepts numbers that the modem is trying to dial and gives the user the option of connecting or blocking the connection. Other programs have several settings and some have settings that need some coding experience they have other features that are duplicated by programs that already may be on the users computer. Unlike most other programs, ReconnectWarning is easy to use; there is only one setting for each authorized telephone number. Another benefit is that, since it has only one function, the cost is low at $10 per copy.

We would like to request readers to tell family and friends about the availability of a software solution, and especially of ReconnectWarnings merits. If enough users are made aware that protection is available for this scam, it may be possible to eliminate this kind of fraud and that is one reason this program has a low price.
