Judge temporarily halts N.J.internet company's W. Va. Operations

CHARLESTON, W. Va. (AP) — A New Jersey company that provides billing and collection services for pornographic Internet sites has been temporarily blocked from operating in West Virginia, Attorney General Darrell McGraw said Monday.

Kanawha County Circuit Judge Charles King issued a preliminary injunction against Alyon Technologies Inc. Last week barring the company from doing business in West Virginia, said McGraw, whose office sued Alyon in May.

The injunction will remain in effect until the attorney general's lawsuit is resolved.

The lawsuit alleged that Alyon, based in Secaucus, N.J., attempted to collect money from West Virginians who did not use the Internet sites' services, including some people who don't own computers.

The lawsuit also alleged that Alyon used deceptive advertising targeting adolescent males by saying no credit card is needed to gain access to the sites.
