If you use dial-up modem to connect to the Internet, you have probably came across deceptive dialing applications or websites that try to disconnect your Internet connection in order to redial a premium rate number (if you haven't then you have been very lucky!). This is done either without letting you know that a premium rate number will be dialed, or by trying to trick you in a number of ways. One incident of such modem hijack is enough to present you with a huge phone bill!
