Try rereading it in a sarcastic tone. If it helps, I can edit and put the "" smiley at the end to clarify.
I'm neither encouraging nor discouraging you from editing your post, but rereading your advice from page 1, it still looks like you're feeding him a lie, regardless of sarcasm. To save you the hassle of reviewing it, here it is as it currently is:

I'm sure it will be a simple matter calling up your ISP and explaining that you use an open wireless network and have no idea how often people get on.
The OP never stated that he's using a wireless connection or not. He would have already had to have had an unsecured network to take your advice and been able to use that as his excuse. If he didn't have such a thing, then claiming it could have been fraudulent. Again, this is unlike you, so I'm surprised at it. I actually spent several hours wondering whether or not to post and decided to do so hoping that the OP would actually read what I said and understand the potential problem.
