We are english living in Greece. Our eldest son downloaded free music and from then on each time we logged on to the net it was charged to a premium rate sex line. The bill was over 500 euros to be paid to ote the Greek telephone company. When we complained they said there is nothing they could do but we must pay up. This is a vicious crime on innocent people who cannot afford to pay. Our children now have to go without. Surely there must be someway international police can prosecute these evil villains. Being outside the UK who do we contact.
