Re: Most Absurd Bill Ever

Dr. Olds,

Yeah, I've taken to looking at my Credit Card Statement every month very carefully, and even checking it online about once a week. I think if the difference had been one dollar when I checked it online, I probably wouldn't have gone back to the original invoice to see what's up ( lotsa dial-up use in addition to the ADSL).

Bill_MI,

No, it isn't a phishing scam ( at least not this particular e-mail). I was alerted to the problem because they had billed against the credit card for over three times the normal monthly amount, and I check my cc statement online at least weekly. The links are good.

ALso, the smiley is an interesting development, since "it" doesn't appear on my original invoice. Can I assume that this is an added "service" from BBR?

On second thought, I'm willing to guess that it's an unintentional artifact (emoticon), due to the juxtaposition of the colon and the dee. Yes? How many others are there? :? :/ :> :-- :: :A :B :C :E :F :G

Yeah, a lot of emoticons exist. Just conveying the humor of ": D S L" coming out ":DSL".
