On 3/26 during internet browsing, a member of the household encountered multiple stubborn adult web site pop-up ads. 2 days later I received a bill for $117 worth of access to "Premium Web Content - Adult".
Checked Alyon's web site & found their modus operandi. Checked computer & found their shortcuts, dialer, folders, Dial-up networking entry, & HTMLAccess. Dll file, all right where they said they'd be. Removed all.
Suspect my next phone bill will have 3 phone calls to their phone numbers (201)-553-4709 and (201)-553-4710), just like their bill does.
Neither of the 2 members of this household intentionally accessed any of their content, nor authorized the download & installation of their dialer software. We use cable modem access. Why would we authorize access to their site via phone?
Have read many of the previous consumer complaintss on Alyon, and intend to follow up with the Attorneys General of Georgia, New Jersey, and Maine, the FCC, and to speak with a postal inspector.
This is a horrendous example of internet/postal/telephone (censored).
Somebody's gotta shut 'em down.
