Alyon Technologies fraudulent billing - no computer currently at residence where billed & billed ph# disconnected Norcross Georgia
I received a bill for $44.01 for a 9 minute online visit to an Adult Web Site. The charge is totally bogus. There has been no computer at the subject residence for a year. Furthermore, the phone number used was an extra line installed for computer use only and has been disconnected for some time. A review of complaints I have read on the web indicate that somehow connections are convertly made when a pop-up menu appears. Since I am now living in another state, the only connection I can make to that number is AOL. They had my long distance for awhile. BUT!!!! I have had a cable broadband connection for over two years and stopped using that number at that time.

Lois, DON'T pay it, and don't waste your time calling them or sending Alyon an email.

Alyon relies on different sources of information to locate names and addresses, and match them to phone numbers, in many cases their info is out of date.
You need to contact the phone company that you had that old phone number with and find out WHO HAS IT NOW, and get something in writing that it has not been an open phone number in your name (consider identity theft) since a certain date.. Or dial it and see what happens?
In the meantime, file a written dispute with Alyon and send it registered mail, and a written complaint to the Attorney General of the State the old phone number was in. ( You don't mention what state that was.)
Also, like the rest of Alyon victims, you need to add your name to the Federal Trade Commission's long list of Alyon victims, the FTC is suing Alyon, it's officers and one of it's contracted collection agencies in Federal District Court in Georgia. Also, there are at least 20 other States, at last count, suing Alyon Technologies, Inc. for a myiad of deceptive practices, including illegal collection methods. Sorry to say, Welcome to the Alyon Victim list.
