These rip-off artists have a cute (censored) that preys upon the easily-intimidated. There is already sufficient mention of their overt mode of operation, i.E. Outlandishly-huge bills for services that may or may not have actually been "received". I will not go into further detail because my experience matches so many others.
I will, however, address the tone of their "FAQ" which is written in hostile language and grammar. They try to scare the reader into a belief they have law and technology to back them up. Well, I am of the belief they do not. Avid readers of "Infoworld" (a trade journal for information technology professionals) contains a column entitled "The Gripe Line" in which it has been pointed out that "shrinkwrap" and "clickware" licenses are not legaly enforcible, therefore, neither is Alyon's contention that we victims "accepted by clicking" their terms. Secondly, in the case of a minor-child, there can be no contract and again Alyon is out of luck legally. Additionally, the only "threat", if you can call it that, made by Alyon for not paying is "you may be prohibited from additional purchases of the referenced services" I asy — *big deal*
Do not pay them. Wiat until they send repeated bills and then turn them in to Postal Inspectors for harassment via the U.S. Mail. I have dealt with bogus bills in this manner in the past, it did work for me.
Thank you for your time.
