I know that we have delivered stories of bill shocks in the past, including a French lady who picked up a bill of 11,721,000,000,000,000 Euros, while a Singapore Airlines passenger got hit with a $1,200 bill shock while using inflight Internet. Ronald Dorff is the victim here, as he picked up a bill of over $24,000 from AT&T for his dial-up Internet.
Mr. Dorff is an 83-year-old great grandfather who hails from Woodland Hills, California, where he claims that he first contacted the company in March this year after his monthly bill went from just $51 to $8,596. He claimed that he was informed by AT&T that a technician would be sent to fix the issue, but no one turned up instead.
As for the next bill, it arrived along with the added fees, and eventually it hit a whopping $24,298! This is just insane for dial-up Internet, don’t you think so? That amount is worth more than an entire year’s worth of social-security checks that Mr. Dorff depends on to survive. AT&T has since said that this is a ‘rare occurrence’ which they address on an individual basis, so hopefully all will end up well.
