Nineteen States Sue Software Firm; Allege Web Scam

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - California and 18 other states on Thursday brought a consumer protection lawsuit against Alyon Technologies Inc. for allegedly running a scam that automatically connected peoples' computers to porn sites then charged steep fees to their phone bills.

California Attorney General Bill Lockyer in a statement said Alyon, a New Jersey-based software company, installed pop-up ads that automatically dialed expensive adult Web sites without consent.

He said the suit was brought after his office received dozens of complaints from consumers who had received steep bills from porn sites they had never knowingly visited. The sites Alyon links to require no credit cards but charge $4.99 per minute to a consumer's phone bill, according to the complaint.

The complaint also charges that Alyon engages in unfair business practices when attempting to collect payment from consumers.

The suit is asking Alyon to provide better instructions on how consumers can remove the automatic dialer software from their computers.

Alyon could not immediately be reached for comment.

thank god!
I thought I was busted.:1orglaugh

First thing that ran through my mind :1orglaugh

Yeh, you get that tingling Uh Oh feeling all over when it gets close to home.

I shit my pants last month. I had fallen asleep at about 7PM one night. At around 8:30 I hear the door pounding. My German Shepherd is barking his head off and I was so asleep I thought I was dreaming and didn't go downstairs to see who was banging. After what seemed like about 10 minutes I heard the banging again and this time I got up and looked out the window and saw 2 blacked out Crown Vic's out front. I'm thinking immediately OH FUCK not good. So I called my ex right away to say I don't know yet what's going on but there are two undercover cars out front that look like Feds so standby while I see what's going down.

I got dressed and headed downstairs and the knocking had stopped again. Looked out the peephole and didn't see anything but the cars and I'm thinking OK someone put a contract out on me and this is a setup. But I flung open the door anyway and I startled the fuck out of these 4 monstrous looking SWAt guys and they all spun around and pointed their H&K's at me. I didn't know what the hell was going on at this point, but they quickly put their guns down, and said they just needed to know if I had seen my neighbor today. I thought you have to be kidding. You're banging on my door and freaking me out over my fricking neighbor.

Turns out the neighbor had killed a guy by running him over with his car and fled the scene. So the SWAT guys wanted me to ID the neighbor from the pic they had from his drivers license file and if he still looked like that and if I had seen him rushing back home earlier or running back into the woods.

Anyway it turned out the guy was inside hiding. They brought in K-9's and battered down his front door and he finally gave up and came out.

But man when you see those Fed looking cars your heart just stops.

Wow some story! :ak47: :BangBang: :thumbsup
