Question

Is piggybacking a scam?

Answer 1

Is this what you mean?

"Piggybacking is a term used to refer to obtaining a wireless internet connection by bringing one's own computer within the range of another's wireless connection without that subscriber's permission or knowledge. It is a legally and ethically controversial practice that in some places has been outlawed.

Piggybacking does not refer to the authorized use of the Internet by a customer of a hotspot providing this service, such as a hotel or cafe. Many such locations provide wireless Internet access as a courtesy to their patrons, either with or without an extra charge."

Sounds more like an ethical problem.
