Toll Fraud is the unauthorised use of your phone lines, equipment, or services to make long-distance calls that are charged to you.
Toll fraud is an illegal activity similar to computer hacking. It is a global, industry-wide problem totaling over a billion dollars annually. Toll fraud takes many forms including fraud involving mobile phones, calling cards, payphones, and long-distance fraud on calls placed through phone systems (PBX hacking). It is a large enough problem that many of the major providers of long-distance telephone service have a separate department specifically for identifying and handling toll fraud issues.
DSL TELECOM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ITS PRODUCTS ARE IMMUNE FROM OR WILL PREVENT TOLL FRAUD. DSL TELECOM WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CHARGES, LOSSES, OR DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM TOLL FRAUD.
