.... but this post is NOT about Kaylia ....
In this morning's ABC news:
"Telstra has been ordered to pay a $10 million penalty after its billing charges potentially misled more than 100,000 Australians, in a Federal Court judgment handed down on Thursday afternoon, making it the equal biggest payout on record under consumer law.
Telstra previously admitted to misleading
customers by charging them for content they didn’t know they had bought,
such as games and ringtones, through a premium direct billing
arrangement"
In other words .... one of Australia's biggest corporations has been convicted of a crime .... fined $10million and ordered to apologize to the victims and offer a refund of the money stolen from the individuals ......
However, this criminal organization ..... after paying the fine and the refunds .... is still estimated to make $45million profit from this one criminal activity.
Now what lesson do you think they have learned? Crime is clearly very profitable!! Do you think they will stop their criminal activities? Not likely.
