Canadian telecom service provider Rogers Communications has been the victim of numerous number-cloning operations by the terrorist group Hezbollah in which even the phone number of CEO Ted Rogers was 'borrowed' but steadfastly refused to address consumer complaints about the problem, insisting that customers were liable for outsized bills.

However, all that changed after aggrieved consumer (and law professor) Susan Drummond who was stuck with a bill for over $10,000 for calls to countries such as Libya, Pakistan, Russia and Syria recorded comments made by a Rogers security exec, who admitted that the company had suffered cloning problems at the hands of Hezbollah going back as far as 1997 ...
