Alyon Technologies rip-off slams children on the Internet fraudulent business Secaucus New Jersey
On New Years Eve my 13-year-old son was on the internet searching for gameboy (censored)codes which is something he has done before, when he was slammed with Alyon's Adult entertainment site.
He attempted to remove it and it continued to pop up on the screen. Out of curiosity, my son manage to enter their web site and was able to very easily authorize the services of that website.
Yesterday, we discovered this when bill for 504.68 arrived in the mail. To date, I have called and e-mailed the company, filed a complaint with the FTC and the AG's office of TX.
I intend to continue complaining because if a child looking up educational material or game information can be easily lured into a web site like this due to natural curiosity, eventually these ripoff artist will get more clever-like wolves in sheep clothing.
I intend to report this to my state's Internet bureau as well.

Eric,
Check your telephone bill, even if you don't have long distance service. Sadly, there's probably more bad news on the way in the form of long distance charges. Call the phone carrier and dispute the long distance charges immediately. That should buy some time and keep your telephone turned on without requiring payment. These charges may be close to the amount of the Alyon billing!
You'll find other good suggestions in the other Alyon related reports here. Read through them all.
Good luck, and thanks BadBusinessBureau.com!
