Being Falsey Accused?

Question

Last night, I got into a huge fight with my mom, because she tried to say I called a sex line, which I did not. You see, she was charged 15$ extra this month for her phone bill, so she called Eastlink ( out phone service) and asked what was up. They told her there were 3 calls made to a 1-900 number, at 2.99$ per minute! They also told her it was either a party line or a sex line. There is no possibility that anyone in the house called those numbers, because it's just, my mom, me and my 9 year old brother and I swear to God I didn't do it. But now , I can't imagine what she thinks of me, she said I'm nothing but a liar and everything.. I even called the cable company to see if they made any mistake and they said no! We have out internet and cable from the same company and I'll admit I was on some sites I shouldn't have been. Could that have showed up with the phone bill in any way? If not, what could have caused this and how can I get my dignity back? HELP!

Answer 1

No, the porn sites you were on would not charged your phone bill. Now someone may have called the 1-900 #'s from a different # and told them to charge it to you phone #. My folks had that happen to them one time. Someone made long distance calls and it was from a different phone # but it was charged to my parents phone bill, but it was only long distance calls, not 1-900 #'s.

1 time when I was about 13, me and a friend of mine walked from his house to the pro shop of a near by golf course at night after it was closed to get some drinks from the Coke machine outside the pro shop. And after we got the cokes we sat at a table right outside the pro shop and someone had left a cordless phone on the table. We called every phone sex number we could think of. I always wondered how much that phone bill was.

Answer 2

Did anyone ask your 9 year brother if HE made the phone call? I'm not sure, but I think if you are online and visit "those" sites, you would need to give a credit card. The phone bill should give a date and time of when the calls were placed.Look, all you can do is tell your mom that you did NOT make those phone calls and that you are very hurt she does not believe you.

Then be a good boy and stay away from that crap online in the future. Bottom line is that your mom loves you and forgiveness goes with the territory. She will get over it, I promise.

Answer 3

Does your mother know how easy it is to charge a call those numbers without even anyone in the house notice until the bill arrives? People do that to charge calls to unsuspecting victims. We have investigated similar cases in the past.

However, if you use the internet to access certain sites, some sites would bill your phone company, most of the time without your knowledge. Stay away from those sites until you are old enough to see them.

Answer 4

could any of these sites telling you to 'click here' to enter and if so could you have entered and missed the small print that says 1,000000 dollars a minute,,,,my cousin did this ,,if i remember it was called,,,'nasty sex' and it was 1.95 pounds a minute and he clicked on the link and was charged as you were,over the phone line.my aunt called the number at first and got signal and not a phone line and that is how she new it was from the computer and not the phone.im not saying try it but if you want her to listen you could ask her to dial the number and see if it is an actual phone or just a signal tone used for the internet.

Answer 5

You can either own up to being on the sites you shouldn't have been on (that's no doubt where the charge came from) or just let it drop it and learn your lesson for the future. If you have no problem having your mom know you were on those sites and merely want her to know that you weren't lying about the call, then tell her. If you have a problem with that, then just drop it.

Answer 6

dignity back? it's not like you murdered some one if you actually called that number. If you really didn't do it then don't worry about because you the only person who really knows.
